Stellar Invests in Archax to Advance Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has announced an investment in Archax, a UK-based digital asset platform, as part of a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) using the Stellar blockchain [1]. Archax, which has already integrated Stellar into its in-house tokenization platform, has launched the Aberdeen tokenized money market fund on the network, marking a significant step in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology [1].

This partnership aligns with a growing interest in tokenized assets, which are increasingly being used to digitize traditional financial instruments such as bonds, funds, and stocks. The tokenized RWA market has expanded rapidly, doubling in size over the past year to $26 billion and is projected to reach a trillion-dollar scale by 2030, according to reports from consulting firms and industry analysts [1].

Raja Chakravorti, chief business officer at SDF, highlighted that the Stellar network was designed to facilitate fast settlement times, low transaction costs, and the tokenization of real-world assets—features that position it well as a foundation for the future of finance [1]. While the investment amount was not disclosed, the move signals SDF’s commitment to supporting platforms that promote scalable and efficient tokenization solutions.

Archax recently expanded its European footprint by acquiring Deutsche Digital Assets, a firm regulated by Germany’s BaFin, to enhance its offerings in crypto exchange-traded products [1]. This acquisition, combined with the integration of Stellar, underscores Archax’s strategy to build a robust infrastructure for institutional-grade digital assets.

The collaboration between SDF and Archax reflects a broader trend in the financial industry, where traditional players are exploring blockchain to enhance transparency, reduce settlement times, and enable 24/7 market access. As tokenization continues to evolve, the role of public blockchains like Stellar in facilitating this transition is gaining prominence.
