Stellar Surges to $3.5B in RWA Tokenization, Outpacing Competitors

Stellar's rapid growth in real-world asset tokenization leaves other blockchains like XRP Ledger, Solana, and Avalanche trailing.

Stellar's rapid growth in real-world asset tokenization leaves other blockchains like XRP Ledger, Solana, and Avalanche trailing. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.37. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by ZyCrypto, with live market data added, as of Wed, 14 Oct 2026 01:45:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This development highlights Stellar's growing dominance in the RWA tokenization space, potentially shifting market dynamics and investor interest away from competing blockchains.

Key takeaways
  • Stellar's RWA tokenization value hits $3.5B, a new record.
  • XRP Ledger faces scrutiny over critical vulnerability.
  • Avalanche's TVL at $144.32M, up 0.8% in 7 days.
  • Stellar's growth could attract more institutional interest.

Stellar has achieved a significant milestone in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market, with the total value of tokenized assets on its network reaching a record $3.5 billion. This surge positions Stellar as a leading player in the RWA space, outpacing competitors like the XRP Ledger, Solana, and Avalanche.

In contrast, the XRP Ledger Foundation has recently acknowledged a critical vulnerability that could have allowed for the creation of an unlimited amount of XRP, potentially destabilizing the cryptocurrency. This revelation comes at a time when Stellar is making strides in the RWA market, further highlighting the challenges faced by other blockchains.

Avalanche, another competitor, has seen its Total Value Locked (TVL) increase by 0.8% over the past week, reaching $144.32 million, according to DeFiLlama. Despite this growth, Avalanche's TVL remains significantly lower than the value of tokenized assets on the Stellar network.

The broader crypto market is currently experiencing a period of growth, with the total market cap at $2.87 trillion and Bitcoin up 1.68% in the last 24 hours. This positive market sentiment may be contributing to Stellar's success, as investors increasingly look for opportunities in the RWA sector.

Stellar's achievement in RWA tokenization could attract more institutional interest and investment, potentially driving further growth in the sector. As other blockchains like the XRP Ledger, Solana, and Avalanche seek to catch up, they will need to address security concerns and demonstrate their own capabilities in the RWA space.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹141.76 (about $1.37), up 1.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
