Franklin Templeton has tokenized nearly $1B of Treasuries on Stellar. Hex Trust sees 2026 as the year DTCC tokenizes "hundreds of billions." The "pilot phase" is over. Major financial plumbing (DTCC) and asset managers are moving from proof-of-concept to commercial scale on specific chains (Stellar mentioned explicitly for Treasuries). LONG. Stellar is a specific beneficiary of the regulated RWA thesis. Banks building private blockchains instead of using public networks like Stellar. |

"Canton is one of the projects that is really kind of bringing some of the traditional Wall Street players together... we invested along with Goldman Sachs and Citadel." While retail crypto is depressed, institutional adoption is quietly accelerating (UBS hiring crypto heads, banks tokenizing assets). These institutions will not use public, permissionless chains for core settlement due to privacy/compliance needs. They will use "Cabal" chains like Canton. WATCH. This represents the "adult" table of crypto. It may not have a retail-pump token immediately, but it represents the infrastructure that survives the purge. Slow adoption cycle; "Corporate blockchains" have a history of failing to gain network effects. |
