Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is pushing forward with its vision for real-world asset tokenization by <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/business-and-professional-services/ficcai-secures-grant-from-stellar-development-foundation-to-bring-995281" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">supporting ficc.ai</a>, an AI-driven pricing platform for fixed-income securities.

The foundation has given ficc.ai a grant to create a blockchain-based pricing oracle for U.S. Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) and municipal bonds. This project will improve market transparency with decentralized and tamper-proof pricing data on the Stellar blockchain.
Ficc.ai’s first stage is to integrate its AI-powered municipal bond pricing engine with Stellar’s network. Leveraging Stellar’s low cost and highly scalable network, the project will provide low cost real time pricing information, reducing reliance on traditional central pricing systems.
This initiative can be a major step in revolutionizing fixed-income markets to bring greater access to important financial information. Additionally, ficc.ai is collaborating with large industry participants like asset managers and banks to enable seamless migration to blockchain based pricing.
As a few large participants typically dominate the fixed income market, this decentralized process can democratize access to information in the bond market and provide a more open finance system.
<h3 id="strong-stellar-s-rapid-growth-in-rwa-tokenization-strong">Stellar’s Rapid Growth in RWA Tokenization</h3>
Over the past month, Stellar’s presence within real-world asset (RWA) tokenization has expanded exponentially, with a <a href="https://scopuly.medium.com/stellars-rise-in-rwa-tokenization-the-future-of-institutional-finance-84fde02a0376" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">37.5% increase in TVL in RWA assets</a>. This is a reflection of its capacity to transform institutional finance with blockchain technology.
Franklin Templeton, a leading international investment management company, is one of the most significant drivers for this expansion. Franklin Templeton has utilized Stellar’s blockchain to tokenize U.S. Treasury debt with significant cost efficiencies and cost savings. 
By embracing Stellar’s network, Franklin Templeton has set a new benchmark for institutional adoption of blockchain-based asset tokenization.
According to data from rwa.xyz, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/cryptocurrencies/stellar/'" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Stellar</a> is one of the top three blockchain networks for RWA tokenization with a market share of 5.15% and a total RWA value of $380.85 million.
Apart from this, Franklin Templeton’s $593 million on-chain U.S. Government Money Fund is greatly reliant on Stellar, with $372.50 million out of its overall market cap being kept on the network. 
This dominance places the network ahead of competitors such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche in institutional-grade asset tokenization.
<h3 id="strong-low-fees-and-speed-make-stellar-a-top-choice-strong">Low Fees and Speed Make Stellar a Top Choice</h3>
Stellar’s greater presence in the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/transforming-finance-stellars-xlm-at-the-forefront-of-tokenization/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RWA sector </a>is a result of several significant advantages. Financial transactions in large quantities are far more cost-friendly due to low transaction fees in the network.
Stellar transactions are settled in seconds, a speed that is hard for banks to match. Its security system is also in conformity with institutional regulations for compliance, making the network a popular choice for big finance firms who want to integrate blockchain into their systems.
Franklin Templeton’s move could be only the beginning. With mounting pressure to provide greater efficiency and transparency in markets, more institutions will increasingly turn to Stellar’s blockchain as a viable alternative for tokenizing assets.
