Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), elaborates on Stellar’s pioneering work in tokenizing real world assets (RWAs) such as Fiat-backed assets and tokenized bonds, positioning Stellar as a crucial player behind Ethereum in this domain. She discusses the network’s utility in enhancing equitable access to global finances by making it easier to deliver aid and payments through innovative use cases onboarded by organizations like Franklin Templeton and the UNHCR. The conversation touches on the regulatory challenges faced under the prior US administration and highlights the recent openness towards blockchain technology adoption. The UN partnership using Stellar for aid distribution and MoneyGram’s initiatives as a payment infrastructure partner are emphasized.
