Deploying the euro-pegged stablecoin on Stellar will allow for its integration into the global financial ecosystem.
“Our upcoming integration with Stellar represents a pivotal moment in bridging traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem. Stellar’s approach and established connections with asset managers and TradFi institutions align perfectly with our mission to achieve broader adoption of stablecoins within the financial system,” Guillaume Chatain, chief revenue officer at SG-FORGE, said.
Stellar’s blockchain technology features have seen it attract partnerships and integrations from acoss the financial and tech markets. One of the earliest is the collaboration with IBM that saw the company tap Stellar for its IBM World Wire project.
While this didn’t pick up, Stellar has received fresh attention after asset manager Franklin Templeton first launched its OnChain US Government Money Fund on the network.
Although FOBXX has since expanded to six other networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Base, and Aptos, the majority of the $586 million money market fund remains on the XLM network.
