The Stellar Development Foundation integrated MoneyGram, Figure Markets, and Range as Tier 1 validators on July 16, 2026, with full deployment expected by mid-August. MoneyGram serves over 60 million people across more than 200 countries as part of a partnership established with Stellar in 2021. Figure Markets, specializing in regulated tokenized asset issuance including the YLDS stablecoin, strengthens Stellar’s positioning as a settlement layer for tokenized financial instruments. Range monitors and secures assets across more than 200 networks with 30 billion dollars under management. This integration meaningfully changes the network’s fault-tolerance profile through improved geographic distribution and enhanced resilience against single points of failure.
