Subscribe to our newsletter

Archax, the UK-regulated digital asset exchange, broker and custodian, has formed a strategic partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), which includes a direct investment from SDF. The collaboration aims to strengthen Archax’s mission of bridging traditional finance with blockchain, leveraging Stellar’s layer-one network to expand tokenisation opportunities.

Archax has already integrated Stellar into its tokenisation engine and platform, recently completing projects such as tokenising an Aberdeen Money Market Fund. Through its established network of financial institutions, Archax plans to introduce more tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) onto the Stellar blockchain.

The partnership comes amid rapid growth in the tokenisation market, which has risen from $15.2 billion in December 2024 to over $24 billion by June 2025. Archax is also working with Lloyds Bank and Aberdeen Asset Management to enable tokenised money-market funds to be used as collateral for FX trades through its Nest collateral transfer network.
