- Tradable integrates with Stellar to bring up to $1 billion in private credit assets onchain.
- The Stellar network's native asset controls and low costs make it a fit for institutional adoption.

- The partnership aims to improve liquidity and interoperability for tokenized real-world assets.
Tradable, a platform for private asset tokenization, has announced a major integration with the Stellar network that will bring up to $1 billion in private credit assets onto the blockchain. The move is part of Tradable’s broader push to help traditional asset managers adopt blockchain technology for institutional-grade investment opportunities. By leveraging Stellar’s infrastructure, the company aims to offer a compliant, secure, and efficient way to handle private credit deals onchain.
The integration covers the full lifecycle of private credit assets, from deal origination to investor onboarding and ongoing operations. Tradable’s platform already supports workflows like compliance controls and AML/KYC checks, and now those processes will run on Stellar’s decentralized network. Alex Cordover, CEO of Tradable, noted that the partnership aligns with the company’s goal of building next-generation alternative asset infrastructure, and that Stellar’s institutional focus was a key factor in the decision.
Why Stellar for Tokenized Private Credit?
Stellar’s blockchain is designed with features that appeal to regulated financial institutions, including native asset controls, privacy options, and low transaction costs. These capabilities are critical for tokenizing real-world assets like private credit, where compliance and security are paramount. Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation, emphasized that the network is the choice of regulated institutions looking to bring financial assets onchain at scale. She called Tradable’s decision a clear signal that enterprises are choosing Stellar for real-world asset tokenization.
The Stellar network has processed billions of operations since its launch and is known for its speed and scalability. Its smart contract functionality, combined with a protocol optimized for payments, makes it suitable for handling large volumes of tokenized assets. Tradable’s integration will also ensure that the assets are interoperable and composable across different platforms, potentially increasing liquidity and user engagement.
Previous Tokenization Milestones
Tradable had already tokenized $1.7 billion in assets across close to 30 institutional-grade private credit positions before this latest announcement. The company’s technology helps asset managers reach a new on-chain investor audience while maintaining a high bar for asset quality. The new partnership with Stellar expands that reach by adding a blockchain network that is already trusted by many financial institutions.
The move is part of a broader trend of traditional finance moving toward blockchain-based solutions. Private credit, which involves lending to companies outside of public markets, has seen growing interest from institutional investors seeking yield. Tokenizing these assets on a public blockchain like Stellar could make them more accessible and liquid, while still adhering to regulatory requirements.
Looking ahead, the integration is expected to drive further adoption of tokenized real-world assets in the private credit space. Tradable and Stellar are showing that institutional-grade assets can move on public blockchain infrastructure with the compliance, security, and efficiency that real markets demand. The partnership represents a significant step toward bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized technology.
