Stellar Development Foundation Enterprise Fund Invests $10 Million in NetXD

SAN FRANCISCO — October 28, 2022 — The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) today announced a $10 million Enterprise Fund investment in NetXD Inc., a platform that enables businesses to manage their asset securitization and digital asset custody needs.

This investment will support NetXD to build out their asset securitization capabilities on the Stellar network. Stellar will serve as the public blockchain for NetXD clients, providing greater transparency and auditability, lower costs, and ultimately expanded access to, and distribution of, digital assets. NetXD clients will also benefit from native features offered by Stellar, including speed of transactions, asset clawback and authorization features, and leverage a growing ecosystem.

“We believe that the future of embedded finance under Web3 will be redefined via a set of fundamental building blocks that integrate Layer 2 permissioned financial services seamlessly with public chains.” said Aditya Menon, Head of Products and Strategy at NetXD Inc. “This can enable trustless ecosystems that distribute assets, lower costs, promote transparency, and ultimately give consumers, both institutions and businesses, more choice.”

“Stellar’s built-in compliance features provide asset issuers the best of both worlds—the safety and control often sought from a permissioned system, with the openness and interoperability of a permissionless network—making it an ideal public blockchain partner for NetXD.” said Denelle Dixon, CEO and Executive Director of SDF. “We look forward to their integration, and to welcoming new Stellar use cases to the network.”
