The firm uses its Token Studio platform to create securities backed by property shares. By issuing tokens on Stellar, investors can gain access to fractional ownership with lower minimums, greater transparency, and around-the-clock trading.
Edward Nwokedi, RedSwan’s founder and chief executive, said,
The Stellar network’s architecture aligns perfectly with our mission to unlock real estate investing through blockchain.
He added that the partnership addresses challenges such as limited liquidity and high entry barriers that have long shaped commercial real estate.
Opening Real Estate to More Investors
Institutional property has traditionally been out of reach for most investors because of high capital requirements and limited exit opportunities. RedSwan’s approach seeks to change that by offering fractional, compliant securities backed by institutional-grade assets.
The company has estimated that in North America alone, more than $75 trillion in real estate could be opened to a wider investor base through tokenization. With this model, RedSwan looks to bridge the gap between large-scale property investments and retail participants worldwide.
Stellar’s network is designed to transfer value quickly and at low cost, making it suitable for tokenized real-world assets. The partnership shows how Stellar’s infrastructure can be used beyond payments to handle regulated investment products.
Denelle Dixon, CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation, said,
Stellar is purpose-built for moving value quickly, securely, and reliably across borders which is why it is the network of choice for so many real-world assets.
She added that real estate tokenization is the type of case the network was designed to support.
This step strengthens Stellar’s position in the tokenization sector at a time when more firms are testing blockchain-based investment models.
Network Upgrade Brings New Features
The Stellar Development Foundation has also released Protocol 23, the latest version of its software. The update, named “Whisk,” introduces improvements to transaction processing and tools for developers. It is aimed at scaling the network and supporting broader adoption.
Stellar assigns names alphabetically to each protocol release, with Whisk being the 23rd version. Future upgrades will continue with X, Y, Z, and return to A.
The price of Stellar’s token, XLM, was $0.3921 at the time of writing. Daily trading volume is about $279 million, with the token showing a 1% drop in 24 hours and a 0.30% decline over the past week.
