Marketnode Gateway Expands to Stellar, Solana, and XRP Ledger: Accelerating RWA Tokenization
Marketnode Gateway’s Multichain Upgrade: Stellar, Solana, and XRP Ledger Join the Fold
Marketnode, Singapore’s digital market infrastructure provider, has expanded its Gateway tokenization platform to support Stellar ($XLM), Solana ($SOL), and XRP Ledger ($XRP). Announced on July 30, 2025, this upgrade enables seamless issuance and distribution of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) across both EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and non-EVM chains. For crypto newcomers, Gateway is Marketnode’s modular engine for tokenizing funds, securities, and debt, turning traditional assets into digital tokens that trade 24/7 with instant settlements. As Andrew Scott, Marketnode’s Head of Digital Assets, stated, “This enhances connectivity across the investment value chain, making tokenization accessible and interoperable.” With the global RWA market at $24 billion (up 380% in three years), this positions Marketnode as Asia’s bridge between TradFi and blockchain.
Seamless Issuance Across EVM and Non-EVM Chains
Gateway’s strength lies in its flexibility. It now handles EVM chains like Polygon alongside non-EVM powerhouses: Stellar for low-cost payments, Solana for high-throughput DeFi, and XRP Ledger for cross-border efficiency. Developers issue tokens once, then distribute across chains without silos. For instance, a tokenized money market fund (MMF) can launch on Stellar for remittances and Solana for yields, settling in seconds for pennies. This follows Marketnode’s Maybank MMF pilot, where T-class shares tokenized on these chains boosted liquidity 24/7. As the platform supports compliant issuance (MiCA-ready), institutions like BNP Paribas integrate as transfer agents. Thus, fractional ownership drops barriers, invest $10 in a bond fund, earn 4-5% yields, no brokers needed.
Accelerating Cross-Chain Institutional Infrastructure
This expansion accelerates institutional adoption. RWAs like Treasuries ($505.8M on Stellar alone) now flow multichain, reducing fragmentation. For example, a European fund tokenizes bonds on XRP Ledger for FX, then bridges to Solana for DeFi pools, all via Gateway’s unified API. As Ledger Insights reports, “Gateway’s integrations with Solana, Stellar, and XRP Ledger enable interoperable management, cutting settlement risks from T+2 to T+0.” In Asia’s $100B remittance market, this means instant, compliant flows. Stellar’s $4.2B quarterly volumes pair with Solana’s $682M RWA TVL for hybrid strategies. As a result, institutional trading surged 39% in Q3 2025, with Marketnode eyeing $1B+ tokenized AUM by 2026.
The Impact: Liquidity, Compliance, and $XLM Momentum
Gateway’s multichain support democratizes RWAs. Retail users access fractional assets via apps like Lumexo, trading $XLM or tokenized bonds with low fees. For institutions, it’s compliant scalability, MiCA-aligned issuance on Stellar ensures EU readiness. $XLM rose 3% to $0.32 post-announcement, as RWAs (94.8% Treasuries on Stellar) gain cross-chain liquidity. As CoinTrust notes, “Marketnode’s platform bridges EVM and non-EVM, unlocking Asia’s tokenized future.” Hence, even small investors win: Yields without borders.
Marketnode’s Horizon: Tokenization Takes Center Stage
In short, Gateway’s Stellar, Solana, and XRP support isn’t incremental, it’s transformative. Issuance unifies. Liquidity flows. Adoption accelerates. As Q4 2025 pilots scale, watch RWAs hit trillions. Blockchain isn’t niche. It’s the new market.
