Stellar showed up at Stable Summit 2026 in New York: SDF's Tomer Weller joined CoinDesk for a fireside on scaling institutional adoption, pointing to this year's RWA growth on Stellar and MoneyGram's newly launched MGUSD stablecoin as proof that institutional issuers are arriving.
Stellar's participation at Stable Summit 2026 New York centered on SDF's Tomer Weller, who joined CoinDesk for a fireside on what it takes to scale institutional adoption. Weller pointed to the "insane" real-world asset growth on Stellar this year and to MoneyGram's MGUSD — a dollar stablecoin launched on Stellar, issued via Bridge with smart contracts from M0, reaching MoneyGram's 60M+ customers — as the clearest signal that institutional issuers have moved from pilots to production. The summit's livestream captured the broader industry backdrop: panels with Frax, Agora, FX, and CAP on how the Genius and Clarity Acts are reshaping stablecoin architecture, and where payment-focused designs diverge from decentralized ones.
