Tokenization platform Tradable plans to bring up to $1 billion in private credit assets onto the Stellar blockchain, the company announced Thursday. The initiative will start with $500 million in notional value available at launch, with plans to increase to $1 billion over time, expanding institutional access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
Stellar’s institutional push
Tradable will use Stellar’s network to support compliance, investor onboarding and asset lifecycle management. Stellar Development Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon said the agreement reflects growing institutional interest in using the blockchain for tokenized RWAs. Stellar, one of the oldest public blockchains, has been focusing on tokenized assets and has attracted partners like the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, which plans to connect its tokenization service to the network.
The move builds on Tradable’s existing business, which has already tokenized $1.7 billion in private credit assets across nearly 30 institutional-grade positions. The Stellar integration will expand the availability of those assets to a broader investor base.
Tokenized RWA market momentum
The tokenized RWA market has grown rapidly, with its total value exceeding $34 billion, according to RWA.xyz. Private credit dominates the sector, accounting for roughly 44% of that value, Bernstein analysts estimate. Financial institutions are increasingly using blockchain to originate, service and settle private loans more efficiently.
Token Terminal recently highlighted private credit as a key driver of the tokenization boom, attributing the expansion to the continued migration of traditional financial assets onto blockchain infrastructure. The Tradable-Stellar deal adds to a wave of institutional tokenization activity that has accelerated since early 2025.
