What it is
Stellar is a public blockchain built for payments and for issuing digital versions of money and assets. It reaches agreement through the Stellar Consensus Protocol, in which each node picks validators it trusts, with no mining.
Why it matters lately
Tokenized real-world assets on Stellar passed $3 billion in Q2 2026, and Protocol 26 shipped on May 6, 2026. DTCC chose Stellar as a venue for DTC-tokenized securities, announced May 27, 2026 and expected in the first half of 2027, and Franklin Templeton, U.S. Bank, MoneyGram and Societe Generale use the network.
