Stellar Development Foundation

n a conversation with Sylvain Prigent from Societe Generale-Forge and Dayana Aleksandrova at WalletConnect, Tomer Weller dropped the recipe for our secret sauce 👨🏻🍳 Together with MoneyGram, Stellar makes it possible to go from crypto to cash whenever you need to, globally.

What does it take to put tokenized assets to work? Here’s what Tomer Weller had to say at RWA SUMMIT. - As an industry, we need to prioritize distribution and composability when tokenizing assets to get the best possible products in the right hands. - A multichain approach is great as a distribution strategy, but it’s not the whole story. It’s critical to also prioritize partnerships with wallets. - Franklin Templeton is one example of an institution bringing RWAs onchain well, with the BENJI token on Stellar. - Asset managers require both openness and privacy. And privacy isn’t one size fits all. We need to have the best privacy solutions for every use case.

For banks to adopt blockchain, money needs to move seamlessly,without sacrificing privacy. The key distinction: privacy doesn't require closed infrastructure. At RedStone's Tokenize This in Cannes, Tomer Weller made the case for why Layer 1 blockchains should remain open, empowering builders to develop the best privacy solutions from the ground up. The future of finance is private AND open.

“When we talk to institutions that are coming to build on blockchain, they’re really interested in the openness, the auditability, and the verifiability of the chain." Tomer Weller at Stable Summiton how Stellar "maintains these properties as we introduce privacy."

Headed to EthCC? So is Tomer Weller. Here’s where you can find SDF in Cannes.

Building production-ready blockchain infrastructure. We’re proud to share that Vottun has been awarded a grant from the Stellar Community Fund to develop a modular SDK for the Stellar ecosystem in collaboration with Wirex. Our focus is simple: make real-world blockchain applications easier to build and deploy. 🎯 What this enables • Non-custodial wallets and asset management (XLM, USDC, EURC) • Simplified transaction flows and smart contract integration (Soroban) • Real-time on-chain data and seamless Web2 ↔ Web3 connectivity • Integrated real-world payments with Wirex (cards + stablecoin settlement) • Faster development with fewer integration challenges This will allow teams to reduce their development cycle and bring more user adoption. Thanks to the Stellar Development Foundation for the support and for enabling us to contribute to real-world blockchain use cases. We’ll be sharing updates soon.

We are pleased to announce Stellar Development Foundation as a Headline Sponsor at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum 2026! Learn more and register: https://lnkd.in/eBSMgrF2 The Stellar Development Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on working with and supporting changemakers to create equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology. We’re proud to have the Stellar Development Foundation supporting this year’s forum!

The shift is here: stablecoins → payment infrastructure. For years, stablecoins were mostly crypto-native, used for trading, liquidity, and yield. A new wave of local currency stablecoins is now being used for payments, settlement, and treasury. The change shows up in the user experience. Users are tapping cards. Using wallets. Moving money. That’s where Wirex stands out. By integrating EURC into card and wallet products and settling on Stellar, Wirex brings stablecoins into everyday financial flows – fast, low-cost, and global behind the scenes. Stablecoins scale when they are embedded into products people already use. Wirex and Stellar are showing what that looks like in practice and where the market is heading next.

Clawback capability is a necessity for institutions, and the Stellar network has had it for nearly a decade. Today at Blockworks' Digital Asset Summit, Denelle Dixon spoke with Austin Campbell on how the best innovation emerges from an open ecosystem.

How do blockchains close the gap between what they can offer institutions and what institutions actually require? This Wednesday, March 25th at 10:40am, Denelle Dixon will join the Main Stage at Digital Asset Summit to explore this critical question, alongside Austin Campbell. As traditional finance continues to evaluate blockchain technology, understanding this gap, and how to bridge it, remains essential.
