Mercado Bitcoin, Latin America’s largest digital asset investment platform, announced at Stellar Meridian 2025 that the company will be issuing $200 million of tokenized fixed income and equity financial instruments on the Stellar network.
The Stellar network is a leading network for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) with a robust Latin American ecosystem. The Stellar network’s strong global presence with a focus on real-world utility for blockchain technology has made it the ideal network for Latin American companies looking to expand their work with trusted, regulated global financial institutions.
“Latin America is a key region in global finance and as more real-world assets move onchain, it’s critical that the Stellar ecosystem continues to grow in this dynamic part of the world,” said Stellar Development Foundation Chief Business Officer Raja Chakravorti. “Mercado Bitcoin’s diverse array of permissioned, tokenized assets are a unique offering that will strengthen the Stellar network and bolster the network’s reputation as the preeminent blockchain for tokenized real-world assets.”
According to an IMARC Group report, the Latin American cryptocurrency market is expected to reach $442.6 billion by 2033.
“The Stellar network’s resilience and best-in-class native controls make it a network trusted around the globe by financial institutions and regulators,” said Fabrício Tota, New Business Development SVP of Mercado Bitcoin. “Our integration with Stellar allows us to bring Latin American real-world assets onchain and to the rest of the world.”
