Sentora brings curated vaults to Stellar
Institutional DeFi platform @SentoraHQ has launched its curated vault product on @StellarOrg, making it live now through Ultrastellar's Stellar DeFi Hub and yield.xyz. It marks Sentora's first integration with the Stellar network, aimed squarely at fintechs and financial institutions looking to access onchain yield without sacrificing risk controls.
The timing is deliberate. The total market cap of tokenized real-world assets on Stellar has surpassed $3 billion, representing roughly a 300% increase from where the network stood in early 2025. That growth has been driven by a range of institutional issuers, with Spiko accounting for over $1 billion in assets on the network, Franklin Templeton's BENJI token sitting at approximately $654 million, and Ondo Finance's USDY contributing around $529 million.
Sentora describes itself as a DeFi infrastructure and strategy partner for institutional capital allocators. Its vault platform is built around the idea that risk controls come first, with yield as the output rather than the starting point. The firm has allocated over $2 billion across onchain strategies and shaped more than 300 strategies across multiple market cycles.
Risk-first design for regulated institutions
The Stellar integration is specifically structured for institutions and fintechs that need onchain yield with compliance and risk management baked in from the start. Sentora's vaults operate through audited smart contracts on a non-custodial basis, meaning client assets remain under their own control throughout. The platform also incorporates KYC, AML, and jurisdictional screening as standard parts of the onboarding process.
Sentora says this is the first step in a broader @StellarOrg roadmap, with additional DeFi and RWA strategies planned. The integration positions the firm at the intersection of two converging trends: rising institutional demand for compliant onchain yield products, and Stellar's rapid growth as a primary settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets.
