Stellar Becomes the Third-Largest Chain for Tokenized RWAs, Overtaking Solana, Avalanche, and Aptos

Recent on-chain data shows a remarkable milestone: Stellar (XLM) has now secured the third spot among top cryptocurrencies by AUM in tokenized RWAs. According to data shared today by market analyst BSCN, Stellar has significantly increased asset holdings in the tokenization space. A massive $2.75 billion in real-world assets is currently tokenized on the network, making it the blockchain with the third-largest tokenized assets by AUM.

Currently, the total value of tokenized RWAs on public blockchains stands at $28.67 billion, up 79.8% since the beginning of the year, according to DeFiLlama metrics. This record highlights how fast tokenization is growing in the crypto industry – the process of converting traditional assets (like real estate, treasury bonds, gold, commodities, and several others) into digital tokens on a blockchain.

Stellar is becoming a hub for tokenization

Data shared today shows a unique narrative that is quietly developing around the Stellar network, becoming much bigger than the ordinary crypto craze. Based on the data, RWAs are significantly growing on the Stellar chain. Tokenized RWAs on the network have reached a staggering $2.75 billion in AUM, securing third place in the tokenization sector, surpassing Solana and Avalanche, and are even ahead of Aptos.

As the data shows, RWAs (from stablecoins, tokenized U.S. treasuries, equities, private credit, commodities, institutional-grade assets, and more) are moving massively on-chain, and Stellar is becoming a major hub for them. The network now holds the third-largest share of tokenized RWAs, behind BNB Chain and Ethereum, which hold the second and first positions, respectively.

Why Stellar is standing out among rivals

Stellar’s RWA market has grown more than four times since the start of the year, reaching $2.75 billion in value, according to the data. This growth shows rising activity across tokenized private credit, money-market funds, U.S. treasuries, and other traditional assets on the chain. This means the network is increasingly becoming a preferred ecosystem for powering regulated on-chain financial products.

The expansion is driven by the rising RWA trend, as financial institutions assess the capability of on-chain-based settlements and tokenized forms of traditional assets. As a result, Stellar is increasingly becoming a preferred platform because of its low-cost transactions, rapid settlements, and multichain interoperability. Its network, which specializes in financial services, cross-border payments, and asset issuance, has also set it apart from rivals and attracted real-world asset issuers and customers.
