The Stellar blockchain has officially launched Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams oracle infrastructure on its mainnet. The Stellar Development Foundation has fully covered the operating costs of running the oracles, a decision that opens access to a $3.54 billion ecosystem of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) that had remained isolated until now. Stellar currently ranks fourth worldwide for RWA volume, behind Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. The Chainlink integration now enables Soroban smart contracts to verify the real-time value of financial instruments, making automated lending, secure liquidations, and prediction markets on tokenized stocks possible. With RWA transfers growing 25% and stablecoin capitalization rising 10% over the past month, the foundation’s subsidy aims to establish Stellar as the main platform for structured DeFi.
