In just a week: we’re hosting TokenizeThis Lisbon. As an official side event of @StellarOrg’s Meridian conference, we’ll welcome a curated crowd of institutional decision-makers and builders on October 27. Doors open at 4 PM. From there, panels and networking over drinks.

Elbruz Yılmaz will be speaking at #Meridian# 2026 in Lisbon on October 28. @elbruzyilmaz will take part in “Issuance to Deployment: How Assets Are Put to Work” alongside Oya Celiktemur, EMEA Director at @Ondo, and Angie Dobbs (She/Her), SVP of Operations at @rails_xyz, with Kate Montgomery, Director of Product, Partner, Ecosystem Marketing at @StellarOrg, moderating the discussion. The panel will explore how institutions issue, move and deploy tokenized assets across collateral, yield and settlement.

Q3 was another big quarter for @stellarorg: $25.1B in stablecoin volume [+314% YoY) and $4B+ in RWAs (+548% YoY). So, the assets are here, and will continue to grow. Now, we focus on making them more useful, usable and used. More distribution. More utility. Payments, lending, collateral, repo and beyond. And more to come next week at Meridian 2026. See you in Lisbon.

A little light reading for the trip to Meridian? The Q3 report is here: 🔥 Stablecoin volume grew 121% QoQ 🔥 RWAs on Stellar reached $4.1 billion 🔥 Monthly active developers hit 3,922 🔥 New Tier 1 validators and 2 protocol upgrades 🔥 99.99% uptime

a lot has happened across @StellarOrg over the last couple of weeks. figured i’d put some of the coolest stuff in one place 👇 - @chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams went live on Stellar mainnet.

Hard to do better than that. - @BVNKFinance integrated Stellar. $39B in annual stablecoin volume now moving through 5 second settlement and sub cent fees. - @pwc_de put EOS Group’s securitization payouts on Stellar smart contracts. payout cycle went from 30 days to 1 day, settled in @AllUnityStable MiCA regulated euro stablecoin. - The @IMFNews Global Financial Stability Report names Stellar as one of the handful of networks where tokenized activity actually concentrates. - @centrifuge launched $HYB and $deHYB: NY Life’s actively managed US high-yield corporate bond strategy, tokenized, with a transferable version built for DeFi collateral. - @ZenithProtocols went live as the first onchain perps exchange on Stellar. - @spectra_finance brought yield tokenization to Stellar. principal and yield tokens trading from day one. - @ultrastellar launched 1:1 bridged ETH, BTC, SOL, and XRP on Stellar via Axelar. Hold them, earn yield on them, redeem anytime. - @axis_dex , a smart contract limit order book from the @StellarExpert team, hit testnet. No signup, no custody, no fees. Mainnet launch soon. probably missed some cool shit too, so drop anything I missed in the replies 👀
