- Key Insight: Matrixdock, Asia's largest RWA tokenization platform, has expanded its flagship tokenized gold product XAUm to the Stellar network, receiving a direct investment from the Stellar Development Foundation, aiming to solidify XAUm's status as an on-chain reserve-grade asset.
- Key Elements:
- XAUm is now issued natively on the Stellar network, fully backed 1:1 by LBMA-certified physical gold and independently audited by Bureau Veritas.
- XAUm ranks among the top four globally and is the largest tokenized gold product in Asia, with an ecosystem boasting over 88,000 unique addresses and approximately 730,000 cumulative transactions.
- The Stellar Development Foundation made a direct investment in XAUm through a diversified on-chain treasury reserve allocation, further confirming its status as a reserve-grade asset.
- This expansion is part of Matrixdock's strategy to bridge traditional store-of-value assets with blockchain financial infrastructure, and includes integration with the Stellar DEX and lending markets.
- DTCC's previous announcement of integrating its tokenization services with the Stellar network provides greater infrastructure synergy potential for XAUm's institutional applications.
Matrixdock, a leading Asian RWA tokenization platform under BIT (formerly Matrixport), has announced that its flagship tokenized gold product, XAUm, is now officially live on the Stellar network. Through this integration, users on Stellar can access an institutional-grade tokenized gold product backed by physical gold, independently audited by Bureau Veritas, and based on LBMA-certified gold as its underlying asset.
XAUm is now issued natively on Stellar, further solidifying its role as a reserve-grade asset within the on-chain financial ecosystem.
Currently, XAUm ranks among the top four tokenized gold products globally and is the largest in Asia. Its ecosystem has accumulated over 88,000 unique on-chain addresses and facilitated approximately 730,000 transactions.
SDF Allocates to XAUm, Strengthening Its Reserve-Grade Asset Role
Matrixdock stated that this expansion reflects its ongoing strategy to bridge traditional stores of value with blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Stellar offers mature infrastructure for asset issuance, payments, and financial applications, while Matrixdock is focused on building a reserve layer for on-chain capital markets through institutional-grade assets that offer transparency, asset integrity, and real utility.
The Stellar Development Foundation will invest directly in XAUm as part of its diversified on-chain treasury allocation, further cementing XAUm's status as a reserve-grade asset for institutional treasury reserves.
Commenting on the development, Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation, stated that the introduction of XAUm provides institutions and treasury reserves with an asset that helps strengthen the real-world financial foundation of the Stellar network.
Notably, in May of this year, the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) announced a partnership with the U.S. securities infrastructure institution, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). DTCC's subsidiaries processed approximately $4,700 trillion in securities transactions in 2025. Under the plan, DTCC will integrate its tokenization services onto the Stellar network as part of its multi-chain strategy.
As a fully allocated, institutional-grade tokenized gold product, each XAUm token is backed 1:1 by 99.99% pure LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) certified gold, custodied by globally leading professional custodians Brink's and Malca-Amit. The reserve assets are independently audited by Bureau Veritas, which also serves as the independent auditor for the world's largest gold ETF. The relevant smart contracts on the Stellar network have undergone independent audits by OtterSec and Runtime Verification.
From Store of Value to Financial Infrastructure: Expanding the Use Cases of Tokenized Gold
As the tokenized asset market continues to evolve, industry focus is shifting from simply "putting assets on-chain" to building practical financial applications around these assets.
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock, noted that every chain they expand to must meet the same standards as the underlying asset, including institutional-grade trust, verifiable asset integrity, and real utility. Stellar has proven experience in connecting financial institutions with blockchain infrastructure and is playing an increasingly important role in the real-world asset space. By bringing independently audited gold assets, fully backed by physical gold, to Stellar, we are continuously promoting transparent, institutional-grade reserve assets across more leading blockchain ecosystems.
Going forward, XAUm will be integrated into the Stellar DEX liquidity pools and lending markets, with on-chain liquidity support from Wave Digital Assets. Additionally, Matrixdock will partner with Stellar to launch a dedicated XAUm Deposit Vault, enabling institutional clients to deposit, hold, and earn yields on XAUm natively.
Matrixdock stated that these infrastructure developments will position XAUm as a key RWA collateral asset within the Stellar ecosystem, offering users, protocols, and institutional treasuries a gold asset that combines physical gold backing, full allocation, and on-chain utility. By launching XAUm on Stellar, Matrixdock is continuously driving the adoption of transparent, verifiable, high-quality reserve-grade assets within on-chain capital markets.
