DeFi panel discussion on Stellar's Soroban featuring Axelar, Aquarius, and a yield-bearing stablecoin protocol. Speakers discuss strategies for attracting and retaining liquidity on Soroban through bridges, AMMs, lending protocols, and real-world asset tokenization.
A panel discussion featuring representatives from Axelar, Aquarius, and a yield-bearing stablecoin project explores DeFi infrastructure on Stellar's Soroban. Key topics include cross-chain interoperability via Axelar's Squid Router, Aquarius's liquidity layer and yield bridge to EVM chains, and a treasury-backed stablecoin (XUSD) generating yield from government securities. Panelists discuss strategies to retain capital on Soroban beyond yield incentives, including real-world use cases in emerging markets, institutional tokenization, lending protocols like Blend, and merchant payment flows. They emphasize Stellar's competitive advantages in compliance, low fees, and remittance infrastructure, while acknowledging multi-chain competition will commoditize lending rates.
