WisdomTree and Franklin Templeton discuss tokenized real-world asset adoption on Stellar and EVM chains. The conversation covers how institutional investors, companies, and retail users are accessing regulated funds, the barriers they face, and how emerging platforms are solving distribution challenges.
WisdomTree and Franklin Templeton shared progress bringing tokenized real-world assets to Stellar and multiple blockchains during a StableDash panel featuring ecosystem builders. With $29B in tokenized assets now on-chain, the discussion centered on real adoption: how businesses in Brazil and Kenya access U.S. Treasury bills, how companies move between yield-bearing funds and stablecoins, and how DTCC's entry onto Stellar changes settlement speed. The critical unlock is distribution. John Whelan (WisdomTree Head of Strategy) highlighted how tokenization enables 24/7 trading and fractional access at dollar minimums. Tanner (StableC CEO) identified a concrete barrier: where does a small business actually go to buy these regulated funds? That access layer remains the largest adoption barrier for institutional products reaching retail and emerging-market users.
