Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset market has expanded to nearly $4 billion, marking one of the network’s strongest institutional-growth periods to date. Yet XLM continues to trade near $0.
Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset market has expanded to nearly $4 billion, marking one of the network’s strongest institutional-growth periods to date. Yet XLM continues to trade near $0.18, creating a widening gap between Stellar’s on-chain asset growth and the performance of its native token.
Stellar’s Tokenized RWA Market Jumps 360% to Nearly $4 BillionThe value of tokenized real-world assets on Stellar reached $3.996 billion as of Aug. 29, up about 360% from $868.8 million at the end of 2025. The increase spans U.S. Treasurys, private and public credit, non-U.S. government debt and other tokenized securities.

The RWA.xyz chart shows that Stellar’s tokenized-asset base remained relatively modest through much of 2023 and 2024 before accelerating sharply during 2026. Growth became particularly pronounced from the start of this year, when the total moved from below $1 billion toward more than $3 billion on the displayed chart.
The composition also shows that the expansion is not dependent on a single asset. Spiko Amundi products represent a major portion of the market, while tokenized products linked to Ondo, Franklin Templeton’s BENJI ecosystem and other issuers contribute to the broader increase.
The latest data nevertheless show meaningful concentration among several large issuers. Spiko accounted for about $1.55 billion of Stellar’s RWA value as of Aug. 27, followed by Realiz at $559 million, Tradable at $548 million, Franklin Templeton at $546 million and Ondo at $535 million.
Stellar has also built a notable position in non-U.S. sovereign debt. The network held roughly $490 million in tokenized non-U.S. government debt as of Aug. 20, including Mexican CETES and Brazilian government bonds issued through Etherfuse.
Institutional adoption is helping drive the growth. DTCC announced plans in May to connect its tokenization service to Stellar, with DTC-tokenized assets expected to become available on the network during the first half of 2027. Tradable separately announced plans to bring as much as $1 billion in private credit assets to Stellar.
The expansion comes as tokenization receives broader attention across traditional finance. Discussions at the 2026 Jackson Hole symposium focused on how tokenized markets could improve settlement and liquidity while also creating new regulatory and monetary-policy challenges.
XLM Holds Near $0.18 as Token Price Trails Stellar’s RWA BoomDespite Stellar’s rapid expansion in tokenized assets, XLM has yet to mirror that growth in price. The daily chart shows the token consolidating around $0.1806 after retreating from an August rally above $0.20.
XLM is trading slightly above its 50-day exponential moving average, shown near $0.1781. That makes the $0.178-$0.180 area an important near-term technical pivot.
Holding above the moving average would preserve the possibility that the recent pullback is consolidation rather than a renewed downtrend. A decisive break beneath it, however, could put the mid-August region around $0.16 back into focus.
Momentum is neutral. The 14-day RSI stands near 52, slightly above the midpoint but well below overbought territory. That suggests buyers retain a modest advantage without a strong momentum breakout.
The first meaningful resistance sits around $0.19-$0.20, where price stalled repeatedly during the latest rebound. A sustained move through $0.20 would improve the short-term structure and could reopen the August spike near $0.22. Above that, the chart shows heavier historical resistance around $0.23-$0.24.
The more important fundamental question is whether Stellar’s RWA expansion eventually translates into greater demand for XLM itself. Tokenized asset growth can increase network usage and institutional relevance, but it does not automatically create proportional buying pressure for the native token.
That distinction is visible in the current market. XLM remains around $0.18 and was down roughly 11% year to date in the latest reported data even as Stellar’s tokenized RWA market expanded more than fourfold.
For now, Stellar’s fundamentals and XLM’s price are telling different stories. Continued RWA growth strengthens the network’s institutional adoption case, while a confirmed XLM breakout above $0.20 would provide the first clearer technical evidence that token-market momentum is beginning to catch up.
