Stellar (XLM) just activated institutional exposure to gold. Via Matrixdock, Asia’s currently largest Real World Asset (RWA) platform, the XAUm tokenized gold arrives on XLM Network. These are backed 1:1 by LBMA-accredited 99.99% pure gold bullion, stored with Brink’s and Malca-Amit custodians and independently audited by Bureau Veritas.
Stellar Matches On-Chain Gold Launch With Own Bid
Additionally to hosting the on-chain gold, The Stellar Development Foundation is making a direct investment in XAUm in a move to diversify their portfolio. Besides, XAUm is closely tracking the actual gold price with each token representing 1 troy ounce of physical gold. Driven by stablecoins, Stellar’s RWA market capitalization just breached $3.35 billion.
The two leading denominators in the field are Franklin Templeton’s BENJI fund & Spiko, offering an extensive list of tokenized EU T-Bills (EUTBL), US T-Bills (USTBL), UK T-Bills (UKTBL) & more. Franklin Templeton’s team recently offered very positive feedback on Stellar’s ways of operation during the five years since BENJI launched on-chain.
XLM’s Gaining Trust Across Traditional Finance Giants
Sandy Kaul, the Head of Operations at Franklin Templeton, explained how the hedge fund comfortably uses Stellar’s XLM network to pay out interest on the BENJI token “every single day for the last five years, operating flawlessly”. Then, Kaul explained the multi-faceted challenges the digital asset manager had to go through to get it launched.
While these catalysts definitely sparked a long-term bullish stance for many, the biggest breakthrough everyone’s waiting for is the DTCC’s deployment of tokenized traditional stock. They’re holding an enormous amount of traditional stock, approximately worth $114 trillion – a figure roughly 50 times larger than the current crypto market cap.
Elite Stocks Coming To Stellar: Will XLM Price React?
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s project is slated for 2027, but doesn’t necessarily imply that a majority of these stocks will actually be deployed on-chain. However, they’re most definitely up for consideration. This includes: stocks, foreign & government bonds, ETFs, private treasuries, specifically components of The Russell 1000 prioritized.
For Stellar’s (XLM) price, the current stabilization phase finds the OG altcoin at $0.174, a long term major support territory. Given that history repeats itself and it serves as a local bottom like back in mid May, 2026, market watchers are setting their sights on $0.29 during the next leg-up, potentially positioning XLM in the crypto’s TOP 10 by market cap.
