Matrixdock Expands Tokenized Gold XAUm to Stellar

Matrixdock expanded its tokenized gold product XAUm to the Stellar blockchain on June 24, 2026, with the Stellar Development Foundation simultaneously announcing a direct investment in XAUm as part of its own on-chain treasury diversification strategy. The deployment adds Stellar to XAUm's existing multi-chain footprint and brings Bureau Veritas-audited, LBMA-accredited gold to the Stellar ecosystem for the first time. XAUm, introduced in September 2024, is a gold-backed token where each unit represents one troy ounce of 99.99% purity gold meeting London Bullion Market Association standards. Physical gold is held with custodians Brink's and Malca-Amit, reserves are independently audited by Bureau Veritas — the same firm that verifies the world's largest gold ETFs — and the Stellar smart contracts have been audited by OtterSec and Runtime Verification. Physical redemption is available in Singapore and Hong Kong starting from 1kg bars. The Stellar Development Foundation's investment in XAUm follows a May 2026 collaboration it concluded with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, whose subsidiaries processed $4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025. That partnership had already established Stellar's credentials as a platform for institutional-grade settlement infrastructure ahead of this gold token deployment. According to CoinDesk's coverage of Stellar's RWA targets, the Stellar Development Foundation set a goal of holding $3 billion in RWA value on-chain in 2025, representing more than a 10x increase from the $290 million recorded at the end of December 2024.

Matrixdock, founded in Singapore in early 2023 as part of the Matrixport Group, launched its first product — the Short-Term Treasury Bill Token (STBT), fully backed by U.S. Treasury securities and short-term repurchase agreements — in July 2023. XAUm followed in September 2024 and has since grown to rank among the top four tokenized gold products globally and the largest in Asia, with over 88,000 unique on-chain addresses and 730,000 lifetime transactions across its ecosystem. In late 2025, Matrixdock also architected TER, a sovereign-backed gold token issued by Gelephu Mindfulness City of the Kingdom of Bhutan.

The Stellar deployment follows XAUm's earlier expansion to Solana, which was announced via Solana's official news channel and detailed the product's DeFi integration roadmap. On Stellar, XAUm is expected to integrate with DEX liquidity pools, lending markets, and dedicated deposit vaults, with liquidity support from Wave Digital Assets. Matrixport, Matrixdock's Singapore-headquartered parent, serves over 500 institutional clients across Asia and Europe and has built over US$10 billion in assets under management and custody.

The announcement, distributed via PR Newswire and picked up by The Manila Times, does not disclose the size of the Stellar Development Foundation's investment in XAUm, the valuation at which the investment was made, or the total assets under management in XAUm at the time of the Stellar launch. The press release does not specify the fee structure for Stellar-based redemptions, the minimum subscription threshold for institutional participants on Stellar, or the timeline for DEX and lending market integrations to go live.

The immediate effect of the announcement is that XAUm is now deployable on Stellar, with the Stellar Development Foundation holding XAUm tokens as part of its treasury. The announcement does not establish the volume of gold assets that will migrate to Stellar, confirm regulatory approval specific to the Stellar deployment in any jurisdiction, or demonstrate that the DEX liquidity pools and lending market integrations are operational as of the announcement date.
