Etherfuse Partners with Stellar: Accelerating RWA Tokenization for Global DeFi
Etherfuse’s Strategic Alliance with Stellar: RWAs Go Multichain
Etherfuse, the leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, has partnered with Stellar ($XLM) to expand its stablebond offerings onto the network, announced at the Stellar Meridian Conference in London on October 15, 2024. As Etherfuse CEO David Taylor revealed, the platform will launch on Stellar in 2025, bringing tokenized government debt from Mexico, Brazil, the EU, and the U.S. to the ecosystem. For crypto newcomers, Etherfuse specializes in “stablebonds” – yield-bearing tokens backed by short-term sovereign debt, offering 4-5% returns with blockchain liquidity. This partnership, backed by Etherfuse’s $3 million seed round (including SDF investment), positions Stellar as a key hub for emerging market RWAs. As Taylor stated, “Stellar is the best place for tokenizing real-world assets, trusted by global institutions.”
Stablebonds on Stellar: Tokenizing Sovereign Debt for DeFi
Etherfuse’s stablebonds are the star here: Digital tokens representing government bonds from LATAM (CETES, TESOURO) and beyond, fully compliant and redeemable. On Stellar, they’ll integrate with Soroban smart contracts for programmable yields, stake for automated interest or use in DeFi pools. Specifically, Etherfuse plans to tokenize over 3,500 RWAs in 18 months, including Mexican stock exchange assets, on both Stellar and Solana. This multichain approach enhances liquidity: Trade CETES bonds 24/7 on Stellar’s DEX, settling in 5 seconds for $0.00001. As the platform’s $5 million total funding (led by White Star Capital and North Island Ventures) supports expansion, it aligns with Stellar’s $639M RWA TVL, 94.8% in Treasuries like BENJI ($849M). Thus, for institutions, it’s compliant access to emerging yields; for users, fractional bonds from $10.
Why Stellar? Speed, Compliance, and Global Reach
Stellar’s network is tailor-made for Etherfuse’s mission. With 1,000+ TPS and sub-penny fees, it handles high-volume tokenization without Ethereum’s gas spikes. Etherfuse’s focus on sovereign debt, from Mexico’s CETES to Brazil’s TESOURO, fits Stellar’s remittance strength ($4.2B quarterly volumes). As Tomer Weller, Stellar’s CPO, praised, “Etherfuse’s innovative stablebonds are exciting additions, scaling tokenized assets securely.” The partnership leverages Stellar’s MiCA compliance for EU access, while Etherfuse’s emerging market expertise (valued at $12.5M post-seed) drives LATAM adoption. For instance, tokenized EU bonds from Germany and Spain will flow into Stellar’s RWAs, rivaling Ondo’s USDY ($176M). As a result, Etherfuse’s roadmap, 3,500+ RWAs in 18 months, could push Stellar’s TVL past $1B.
The DeFi and Adoption Boost: Yields Meet Liquidity
This alliance supercharges DeFi. Stablebonds enable lending/borrowing on Blend or Soroswap, with Etherfuse’s tokens as collateral for 5% yields. For remittances ($831B market), it means hedging with tokenized debt, send CETES-backed tokens from Brazil to Mexico, earn while transferring. Early metrics: Etherfuse’s Solana TVL hit $50M in Q3 2025; Stellar adds $639M RWAs for composability. As Messari reports, Stellar’s 380% RWA growth in three years aligns with Etherfuse’s vision. $XLM rose 3% to $0.32 post-announcement. For users, it’s inclusive: Fractional sovereign bonds democratize yields for unbanked LATAM/Asia populations.
Stellar’s RWA Horizon: Etherfuse as the Catalyst
In short, Etherfuse’s Stellar partnership isn’t incremental, it’s explosive. Tokenized debt meets efficient rails. DeFi yields globalize. As Q4 2025 launches near, watch TVL soar. For $XLM holders, it’s momentum; newcomers, easy entry. Platforms like Lumexo trade $XLM with low fees. Blockchain isn’t niche. It’s the new bond market.
