In Q2 2026, Stellar's network doubled its tokenized real-world assets to $3.05 billion, growing four times faster than the market average, driven by Protocol 26 upgrade. Stablecoin transfers reached a record $11.4 billion, with 4.9 million daily transactions, highlighting strong institutional adoption including from DTCC. The Protocol 26 upgrade introduced key compliance features like on-chain asset freeze and improved precision for financial instruments, positioning Stellar as a leading platform for regulated finance and tokenization. This momentum marks Stellar's growing role in the competitive real-world asset tokenization market against Ethereum and others.
