Tokenization giant Tradable has announced plans to move over $1 billion worth of private credit assets to Stellar.
Tradable turns to Stellar for tokenization ambitions
ParaFi Capital-backed tokenization platform Tradable is the latest institutional player to migrate its assets to Stellar. According to a press release, Tradable will bring $1 billion in private credit assets to Stellar, citing the blockchain’s advanced tokenization functionalities. Tradable CEO Alex Cordover said:
“We’re excited to partner with institutionally oriented ecosystems like Stellar. By bringing assets onto the Stellar blockchain network, Tradable is continuing to work toward its goal of building the next generation of alternative asset infrastructure.”
Tradable has emerged as the industry leader for asset tokenization since its launch in 2024. The company provides institutional infrastructure for private asset management on blockchain, focused on tokenizing private credit.
Last year, the company disclosed that it was tokenizing $1.7 billion worth of assets on ZKsync, pointing to the network’s cost efficiency. While the reason for the partial migration from ZKsync is unclear, Stellar has a streak of attracting finance heavyweights exploring tokenization to its blockchain.
Both Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree have turned to Stellar for their range of real-world asset tokenization and stablecoin pilots. Meanwhile, MoneyGram and US Bancorp have also leaned on Stellar to test run their stablecoin experiments.
“Stellar is the network that regulated institutions choose to tokenize real-world assets, and Tradable’s decision to bring up to $1 billion in private credit is a clear signal that enterprises are choosing Stellar to bring financial assets on-chain at scale,” read a statement by Stellar Development Foundation.
XLM price surges amid tokenization buzz
The report of Tradable’s migration to Stellar bumped XLM price. XLM rose by nearly 2% over the last day to trade at $0.1873 with daily transaction volumes climbing by 13%.
XLM’s rise mirrored the broader cryptocurrency market recovery, with Bitcoin (BTC) surpassing $65,000 for the first time in weeks. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is inching toward the $2,000 mark after a 3% surge over the last day.
Zooming out, Institutional and retail interest in tokenization has reached frenetic levels. Industry heavyweight Securitize had a successful IPO at the start of July, setting off a chain reaction of other tokenization firms exploring a public listing.
However, Securitize stock has fallen by over 30% since the IPO, but analysts say the drop has little to do with the company’s fundamentals.
