Stellar (XLM) Leaps Ahead in RWA Tokenization Race—Leaves Solana Eating Dust

Move over, Solana—Stellar’s blockchain just pulled a classic tortoise-and-hare move in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sprint. XLM’s infrastructure, long dismissed as ’boring’ by degens, is now processing more asset-backed tokens than SOL’s high-speed playground. Guess slow and steady does win the race—or at least outflank the VC-darling chains.

Behind the surge: Stellar’s rails are handling everything from carbon credits to private equity shares, while Solana’s congestion issues keep plaguing institutional pilots. The irony? Banks—yes, those same legacy dinosaurs—are quietly adopting XLM for its compliance-friendly design. Cue the sound of crypto purists screaming into their Ledgers.

Closing thought: When the ’institutional adoption’ narrative finally plays out, will it be the chains you mocked at parties that end up holding the keys? (Spoiler: Your ape JPEGs won’t care either way.)
