Stellar Foundation Backs Marketnode to Expand Tokenized Funds Across Asia-Pacific
Summary
The Stellar Development Foundation announced a strategic investment in Marketnode, an Asia-Pacific digital-market-infrastructure company backed by Euroclear, HSBC, SGX Group and Temasek. Marketnode supports issuance, distribution and servicing of funds, credit products and structured investments, including work exploring access to select BNY Investments funds on Stellar. The investment aims to expand institutional access to tokenized products, but its amount and the stake acquired were not disclosed. Tokenization still depends on compliance, investor eligibility and integration with traditional systems; actual adoption will depend on product launches, active institutions and transaction volumes.
