Pontoro and Archax announced the launch of an Automated Liquidity Pool on Stellar during Meridian 2026. The pilot combines liquid money-market assets with private-market fund exposure and uses predefined pricing and allocation rules to manage liquidity. It does not make every private holding instantly redeemable: the model depends on available liquid assets, credible valuations and a disclosed process for handling stress.
Archax issues the pool interests as permissioned tokens held in identity-verified wallets, while the fund manager retains control over asset selection, valuation and governance. The Stellar Development Foundation disclosed that it invests in both companies. Sustained investor use and performance under withdrawal pressure remain unproven.
