PRNewswire
Singapore, June 24: Matrixdock, Asia's leading Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform, today announced the expansion of its flagship tokenized gold product, XAUm, to the Stellar network, extending institutional-grade access to physical gold through Stellar, an established blockchain platform for payments, asset issuance, and real-world asset innovation.
The expansion to Stellar reflects Matrixdock's continued commitment to connecting traditional stores of value with blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Institutional-grade tokenized gold is now natively issued on Stellar, extending XAUm's role as a reserve-grade asset in on-chain financial systems. XAUm has grown to rank among the top 4 tokenized gold products globally and Asia's largest, with over 88,000 unique on-chain addresses and 730,000 lifetime transactions across its ecosystem.
The Stellar Development Foundation is making a direct investment in XAUm as part of its on-chain treasury diversification, reinforcing XAUm's growing role as a reserve-grade asset for institutional treasuries.
Stellar's established infrastructure for asset issuance, payments, and financial applications makes it a natural home for XAUm as Matrixdock complements this foundation by serving as the reserve layer for on-chain finance, bringing institutional-grade assets on-chain with transparency, asset integrity, and real utility.
This follows a May 2026 collaboration between the Stellar Development Foundation and The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), whose subsidiaries processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025. DTCC announced plans to connect its tokenization service to the Stellar network as part of its multi-chain strategy.
"Bringing XAUm to Stellar gives institutions and treasuries access to an asset that strengthens the network's foundation for real-world finance," said Raja Chakravorti, Stellar Development Foundation Chief Business Officer.
XAUm is a fully allocated, institutional-grade tokenized gold asset. Each XAUm token is backed 1:1 by 99.99% purity LBMA-accredited physical gold, securely stored with leading custodians Brink's and Malca-Amit. Reserves are independently audited by Bureau Veritas, the same firm that verifies the world's largest gold ETFs, with Stellar smart contracts audited by OtterSec and Runtime Verification.
Expanding the Utility of Tokenized Gold
As the tokenized asset market continues to evolve, attention is increasingly shifting from simply bringing assets on-chain toward enabling practical financial applications around them.
"Every chain we expand to must meet the same standard as our assets do: institutional trust, verifiable integrity, and real utility," said Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock. "Stellar's proven track record in connecting financial institutions to blockchain infrastructure and its growing role in real-world assets make it a natural fit for Matrixdock's vision. By bringing fully allocated, independently audited gold onto Stellar, we're expanding access to transparent, institutional-grade reserve assets across leading blockchain networks."
XAUm will be integrated with Stellar DEX liquidity pools and lending markets, with on-chain liquidity support provided by Wave Digital Assets. XAUm-dedicated deposit vaults will also be launched in partnership with Stellar, enabling institutional clients to deposit, hold, and earn XAUm natively.
These integrations are designed to establish XAUm as a core RWA collateral asset across the Stellar ecosystem, providing users, protocols, and institutional treasuries with access to a physically-backed, fully-allocated gold instrument with on-chain utility.
By issuing XAUm on Stellar, Matrixdock is advancing a vision of bringing transparent, verifiable, high-quality reserve-grade assets into on-chain capital markets.
