Stellar's market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has expanded by about 360% in 2026, reaching close to $4 billion, according to figures reported by BitKE.

The network's RWA value stood at $3.996 billion at the close of August 2026, up from $868.8 million at the end of 2025, based on a Stellar-maintained Dune Analytics dashboard. The growth comes even as the wider crypto market stays volatile.

Activity is concentrated among a small group of issuers. Spiko leads with $1.55 billion, followed by Realiz at $559 million, Tradable at $548 million, Franklin Templeton at $546 million and Ondo at $535 million. Together, those five make up roughly 93% of Stellar's tokenized RWA market.

The assets extend beyond U.S. Treasurys to include private and public credit, non-U.S. government debt and other tokenized instruments. Around $490 million was held in Mexican CETES and Brazilian government bonds alone as of August 20, 2026.

By a separate measure from RWA.xyz, Ethereum remains the dominant network with about $17.3 billion in distributed RWA value, ahead of BNB Chain at $5.7 billion and Solana at roughly $4.1 billion. Stellar ranks fourth at approximately $3.3 billion on that metric.

Institutional participation is also increasing. DTCC plans to connect its tokenization service to Stellar, while Tradable has said it intends to bring up to $1 billion in private assets to the network.
