BVNK expands multi-chain stablecoin infrastructure with Stellar integration. * Blockchain * 22.09.2026 12:22 pm BVNK today announced the integration of the Stellar blockchain into its stablecoin payments platform, giving businesses access to another high-speed, low-cost payment rail through BVNK's single platform and API. The integration brings together leading stablecoin infrastructure provider BVNK, which processes $39B in annualized volume, and Stellar, the network which processed $55.6B in payment volume in 2025. It gives BVNK's customers an additional route for moving stablecoins globally, while enabling businesses to access multiple blockchain networks through a single API. This abstracts much of the technical complexity of connecting to individual blockchain networks. BVNK's customers can now access Stellar's network for high-volume cross-border payments, merchant payouts, and treasury disbursements. Stellar is one of the world's most established payment-focused blockchain networks, specifically designed for digital asset transfers and global payments. Stellar has an average settlement speed of 5 seconds, 99.99% network uptime and average transaction costs are a fraction of a cent. The integration reflects BVNK's multi-chain, multi-coin approach to stablecoin payments. By bringing this established network on to its platform, BVNK will offer payments teams another high-efficiency settlement route, all through a single integration. BVNK acts as the infrastructure layer connecting the stablecoin ecosystem, abstracting underlying blockchain complexity so businesses can access new rails without the engineering burden of building separate integrations or re-platforming as they scale. This integration, which connects BVNK customers to Stellar today, can also be extended to additional Stellar-native assets over time as BVNK adds support for them - without additional work needed on the customer's side. Kim Mescal Julien, Head of Partnerships at BVNK, said: "The future of global payments is multi-chain and multi-asset, but businesses shouldn't have to manage the underlying engineering burden of connecting to dozens of individual blockchains. "By integrating Stellar's established payment network, we are giving our customers another efficient, low-cost route to move money globally through a single platform and API. Businesses can choose the networks and assets that best fit their needs, without having to build and maintain the infrastructure to connect to each one themselves." Denelle Dixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation said: "Businesses moving money at scale need to know it works every time, in every corridor. Stellar has spent a decade building a payments network that financial institutions and regulated enterprises depend on for cross-border transfers, payouts, and stablecoin settlement. Stellar is a network financial institutions trust and now BVNK's customers will have access to the Stellar network's reliable payment rails." The integration further expands BVNK's role as infrastructure connecting businesses to the stablecoin ecosystem, giving customers access to a growing range of networks and assets through a single platform. The Stellar integration is live today for all BVNK enterprise customers across 130+ supported countries.

Pyth Pro and Pyth Indices deliver real-time pricing across Stellar's $4B RWA market. * Nicholet R. * Published: September 8, 2026 * 12:35 pm * Updated: September 8, 2026 * 12:35 pm Table of Contents * Stellar added Pyth Pro and Pyth Indices, bringing continuous pricing infrastructure to a tokenized real-world asset ecosystem already exceeding $4 billion in value. * Pyth Indices provide 24/7 marks for equities and commodities, helping Stellar applications update collateral, risk controls, accounting, and trading outside traditional market hours. * Pyth Pro offers more than 3,500 feeds with updates as fast as 50 milliseconds, supporting equities, futures, ETFs, commodities, FX, crypto, and fixed income. Stellar's tokenized real-world asset ecosystem has gained a new pricing layer as Pyth Pro and Pyth Indices go live on the network, which already hosts more than $4 billion in tokenized RWAs. The integration tackles a persistent mismatch between assets that trade onchain around the clock and underlying markets that still close overnight, on weekends, and during holidays. That gap can complicate collateral valuation, risk management, vault accounting, and trading, making continuous pricing increasingly important as traditional financial instruments become transferable through blockchain infrastructure at scale, especially for applications that cannot simply pause when legacy markets shut down entirely. Pyth Indices are designed specifically for that problem, offering 24/7 pricing for assets whose native markets operate only during exchange hours. The catalog includes constructed indices for Brent, natural gas, copper, and oil, alongside single-name equity indices for AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, MSTR, GOOGL, MSFT, MU, and SPCX. For Stellar applications, that means equity-linked and commodity exposure can keep receiving updated marks even when cash markets are closed, allowing perpetuals platforms and vaults to maintain collateral values, portfolio accounting, and risk controls without waiting for the next traditional trading session to reopen again globally. Pyth expands Stellar's data infrastructure for tokenized markets. Pyth Pro broadens the data layer further, giving developers access to more than 3,500 listed feeds spanning equities, futures, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange, crypto, and fixed income. The catalog includes more than 1,000 U.S. equity feeds and over 50 commodity and metals feeds, with delivery channels capable of updates as fast as 50 milliseconds. The breadth and speed are aimed at builders that need institutional-style market data across multiple asset classes, while coverage follows each market's own schedule, including 24/5 support for selected U.S. equities and continuous crypto pricing across global applications today. The rollout lands as Stellar's RWA infrastructure becomes increasingly composable. Centrifuge's deRWA launch introduced deJTRSY and deJAAA on Stellar, with Blend named as a lending and borrowing partner, creating scenarios where tokenized funds can move into DeFi as collateral. Continuous pricing becomes more consequential when tokenized funds are expected to interact with lending markets, diversified vaults, and payment applications rather than simply sit onchain. The same data layer can also support live foreign-exchange quotes for Stellar payment products, giving developers a broader foundation for building around the network's expanding $4 billion RWA economy today efficiently.
