Securitize adds Stellar as fourth supported blockchain for tokenized assets

Securitize, the tokenization firm that issues and manages BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, is adding a fourth named blockchain to its platform. For readers tracking tokenized assets, the choice of network shapes where institutional funds, bonds and equities can be issued and traded.

• Securitize added Stellar to a supported-chain list that already includes Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche.
• Stellar assets can be configured for KYC, clawbacks and sanctions compliance, the firms said in Lisbon.
• Watch whether Franklin Templeton and MoneyGram activity on Stellar draws more issuers to Securitize’s platform.

• 4th Stellar’s rank among tokenized real-world asset ecosystems, per Securitize’s CEO
• $13.70 Securitize shares rose as high as this on the first day of trading
• 3 Named chains Securitize already supports before Stellar joins as another
• 2017 Year Stellar was founded

CoinDesk reported on Wednesday (October 28) that Securitize (SECZ) has added Stellar to its list of supported blockchains. Securitize converts real-world assets such as equity and debt into tokens that can be traded like cryptocurrencies. The news was announced at Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation’s annual conference in Lisbon.

Stellar joins Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche on Securitize’s list

Securitize already works closely with Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche. It is best known for issuing and managing BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized money-market fund. Stellar becomes the next network where the company can bring assets onchain.

The firms described Stellar as fast and scalable. Decentralized assets on the network can be configured for customer identification (KYC), clawbacks and sanctions compliance. Those controls are the features that regulated issuers tend to require before putting securities on a public chain.

Franklin Templeton runs a tokenized money market fund on Stellar, and MoneyGram moves money across it daily.

Domingo cites Stellar’s fourth-largest tokenized asset ecosystem

Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo framed the addition around demand from institutions, in a statement.

The Stellar network has built the fourth-largest ecosystem for tokenized real-world assets, which speaks to the strength of its network and the growing institutional demand for tokenization.

The source gives no data behind the fourth-place ranking, so it rests on Domingo’s statement alone. Tokenization, the process of bringing assets onto a blockchain, has drawn a growing number of companies in recent months. They say they offer, or plan to offer, versions of shares, bonds and commodities that trade around the clock with few, if any, geographic restrictions.

Only Securitize’s side is quoted directly. The Stellar Development Foundation, Franklin Templeton and MoneyGram are not quoted on the integration in the reporting, so their positions on it are not represented.

Securitize shares rose as high as $13.70 on debut, leaving Tuesday’s close as the comparison

CoinDesk’s report says Securitize went public on the New York Stock Exchange in July. Shares rose as high as $13.70 on the first day of trading.

A closing price for Tuesday (October 27) was not available in the source text. BlockWest therefore cannot say how far the stock sits from that debut high.

CoinDesk disclosed that Stellar paid for the reporter’s trip to Portugal to cover the conference.

The BlockWest read. We see this as a distribution move more than a technology one. Securitize’s value depends on issuers choosing it as their compliance layer, and Stellar’s built-in KYC, clawback and sanctions controls fit that pitch. Allocators will judge the deal by whether new funds beyond existing names launch there, not by the announcement itself.

Securitize has not said which issuers will first use Stellar or when they might launch. Franklin Templeton’s money market fund is the existing reference point on the network. The open question is whether a new Securitize-issued product follows it onto Stellar.
