Stellar Weekly Roundup: Week of Nov 13, 2026

Stellar is now second globally for tokenized fund value, at $4.5 billion against $675 million a year ago, according to Token Terminal. A new Allium Labs report found that by September 30, Stellar held 42% of all tokenized non-U.S. government debt, and its stablecoin supply had grown 91% in a year against a 0.4% industry average. Templar launched Precept for institutional lending, and Soroswap brought Robinhood stocks to Stellar.

Institutional Scale

Token Relations tracks Stellar's RWA market cap at $5.5 billion at the end of October, up from $3.05 billion at the end of June. Allium's report, built with SDF, covers on-chain data through September 30, when RWAs stood at $4.12 billion and the network's share of the tokenized asset market had risen from 4.9% to 12.7%. Stablecoin supply reached $546 million across 18 stablecoins, carrying $1.95 billion of payments over 12 months. Not every read was glowing: Yakov Kofner pointed out that identified payments grew only 21%, to $186 million a month. Arf and Huma's case study in the report shows 4.2x growth in short-term settlement liquidity for licensed payment companies over 12 months.

Token Terminal's fund ranking moves Stellar from eighth to second, behind Ethereum. Three issuers drive it: Spiko's eurSAFO for companies and institutions, Franklin Templeton's Benji ($1.2 billion on Stellar), and Ondo's USDY for non-U.S. investors.

SDF's Q3 webinar with Denelle Dixon, José Fernández da Ponte and Raja Chakravorti will run on November 13 at 3pm ET. SDF's preview highlighted MoneyGram, Range and Figure joining as tier-1 validators during the quarter. At a StableDash panel, WisdomTree, Stable Sea and SDF named access as the remaining gap: where does a small business actually go to buy these regulated funds?

New Products

Templar launched Precept on November 9, an institutional lending protocol where each market sets its own collateral, borrow asset and risk parameters. Three markets opened: XLM/USDC, deJAAA/USDC and Gami earnUSDC/USDC, with Gami and Re7 as curators and DeFindex allocating vault liquidity. Guardian's audit found no critical, high or medium issues.

Soroswap became the first DEX on Stellar to bring Robinhood stocks to its users, adding SODAX's 46 tokenized stocks to the same swap screen as XLM and USDC. Remi detailed Remura, the confidential stablecoin layer it unveiled at Meridian: amounts and balances stay private, while auditors and supervisors get scoped investigation keys. It runs on testnet, with mainnet next.

Developer Infrastructure

Bell's mainnet vote is set for November 23 at 17:00 UTC. It brings muxed contract addresses, ML-DSA post-quantum signature verification for contracts, and millisecond-precision ledger timestamps that lay groundwork for faster ledgers. Tomer Weller told The Defiant that classic accounts get post-quantum signer rotation next year, without changing addresses. Separately, a Meridian talk showed lab tests reaching 2-second blocks at 3,000 transfers per second, with a target of 900-millisecond blocks at 10,000.

Stellar Registry, built by The Aha Company, presented at the November 12 Developer Meeting: npm-style contract discovery for Soroban, with deployed contracts browsable by name, typed Rust client imports and versioned sub-registries. A community proposal to pipeline SCP showed 1.9x throughput at k=2 for 5-8% more latency, and its author has posted a draft CAP. Discussion also continued on a SEP clear-signing standard for Soroban invocations.

StellarExpert shipped API v0.3.0 with breaking changes to authentication, pagination and response formats; integrations may need updates. SCF #46 RFPs are open for web and API analytics for Stellar projects and an XDR test kit for indexers and SDKs, closing November 20.

Regional Activity and Agentic Payments

Stellar moved from ninth to second globally by developer count over the past year, according to Meridian figures in Stellar Türkiye's recap. In the same piece, José Fernández da Ponte set out SDF's three priorities for the next five years: more builders, more payment and stablecoin volume, and more on-chain assets in real use.

Tellus Cooperative and Stellar Chile opened a hub in Providencia in September, run Stellar Academy at UFRO in Temuco, brought eight Chilean projects to HackMeridian and sent ten ambassadors to Meridian. Diego Poveda's Local402 extends x402 so API calls can be priced in local currencies, converted through Reflector, while settling in exact USDC via a Soroswap atomic swap. It is live on mainnet and won first place in Find Your Way. StarMaker LATAM's Código 402 bootcamp is running in Mexico through November 24, and Costa Rica's Pura Vida Bootcamp with Oppia Labs has more than 120 enrolled. SDF's x402 explainer made the case: card fees of 10 to 30 cents make sub-$1 payments impractical, and x402 opens per-call pricing for agents.
