The Stellar Development Foundation has formed a strategic partnership with Archax, a UK-regulated digital asset exchange, involving a direct SDF investment to accelerate tokenization and real-world asset adoption on the Stellar network. The collaboration leverages Archax's regulatory credentials and institutional relationships to bring institutional-grade tokenized assets on-chain.
The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has announced a strategic partnership with Archax, a UK-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, including a direct investment from SDF into Archax Group. The partnership aims to accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on the Stellar network. Archax has already tokenized an Aberdeen Money Market Fund on Stellar and integrated the network into its tokenization engine and RWA platform. The collaboration positions Stellar as a leading blockchain for RWAs, offering advantages like faster settlement times, lower transaction costs, and global accessibility. The RWA market has grown 85% in six months (from $15.2B to $24B between December 2024 and June 2025), and Stellar's purpose-built design for efficient, low-cost transactions makes it well-suited for this sector. SDF CEO Denelle Dixon recently reported that Stellar's TVL increased to $84 million in Q2 2025 from $50 million in Q1 2025.
