Stellar's Denelle Dixon on hitting $5B in RWAs and Project Thruput

Stellar’s Denelle Dixon discussed the network’s push to reach $5 billion in real-world assets, or RWAs, as well as an initiative called Project Thruput, according to CoinDesk. The report did not specify a timeline for the $5 billion figure or provide further details on the project’s technical design.

RWAs are blockchain-based representations of assets or financial instruments that exist outside a blockchain, such as funds, bonds or other forms of value. They have become a major focus across the digital-asset industry as firms explore using blockchain networks for issuance, settlement and recordkeeping.

Stellar is a blockchain network associated with payments and asset issuance. Dixon’s comments place RWAs and transaction throughput at the center of Stellar’s stated development priorities, reflecting broader competition among blockchain networks seeking institutional and financial-market use cases.
