The Stellar Development Foundation said it had made a strategic investment in Marketnode, announced on October 29, to widen institutional access to tokenized investment products in Asia-Pacific. The announcement did not disclose the investment amount or ownership stake, so it does not establish Marketnode’s valuation or how much capital the foundation committed.
Marketnode provides technology and services for issuing, distributing and servicing investment products. The announcement cited discussions about access to select BNY Investments funds on Stellar, not a completed launch. Tokenized products remain subject to investor eligibility, onboarding, local laws, transfer restrictions and redemption arrangements; the investment does not show how many products or assets will use Stellar.
