Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) leadership indicates a decisive push in regular financing for the rest of 2025, so that he points out that “some of the biggest names in payments and asset management” will go live on the network in the coming weeks and months.
Speaking next to SDF CEO Denelle Dixon, José Fernández da Ponte-Die came to SDF in mid-July and now serves as president and chief growth idate agent-framed The acceleration as the highlight of one year spent the laying of technical and go-to-market basic work.
Biggest names in payments that come to Stellar
“We are the Blockchain for financial services on scale,” said Fernández da Ponte, adding: “In the coming months you will see some of the biggest names in payments and asset management that keep going live on the network.”
He underlined the claim with growth figures of the on-chain economy: “If you look at TVL and Defi in the past year, TVL grew in aggregate twice. TVL on Stellar grew 9x … I have not seen any blockchain that grew so fast there.” The Executive credit portfolios and protocols and protocols of the community, and the continuous work of the team on ‘sanitary’ for an open source, permissionless stack, as catalysts for that momentum.
Dixon, for its part, positioned the first half of 2025 as ‘laying the base’, and said that the back should deliver the back ‘large gear’ on the technical side, which eliminated protocol 23 if the upgrade that makes Stellar ‘stronger, faster and developers’ life easier. ‘

She also marked the expansion of the Stablecoin universe network “Pyusd on Stellar was announced, new assets are coming and others keep scaling”-plus tangible user victories of wallet programs that have converted one-off registrations into weekly activity. Those comments follow with SDF’s public route map and adoption goals for 2025, which emphasize payments from the real world, Defi-depth and pushing at the top of the Top-Tier ranking.
The payments-stablecoin pillar is central to that strategy. In June, PayPal revealed plans to make his dollar Stablecoin, Pyusd, available on the Stellar Network, awaiting approval of the legal of the New York State Department of Financial Services. The move would add another controversial issuer to Stellar’s rails and broaden the distribution of Pyusd outside its current locations. Neither PayPal nor SDF has provided a sturdy Mainstet date, but the companies have publicly repeated the intention throughout summer.
On the protocol side, the release of Stellar ‘Whisk’ release protocol is 23-the second half of the implementation plan. SDF documentation describes a package of eight core development proposals with parallel processing, uniform events, reimbursement and transit improvements and refiners on developers-oriented Soroban Smart Contracts.

SDF planned test network and governance mile poles during the summer, and focused on a minstet mood around the beginning of September. The intention is simple: to increase performance and ergonomics to meet the expectations of the institutional quality of payment processors and asset managers who are now circulating in the network.
The organization will try to convert that pipeline this week into concrete announcements on Meridian – SDF’s flagship annual conference – 17-18 September in Rio de Janeiro. With builders, policy votes and potential enterprise adopters on site, the timing of the event is neatly in line with the “coming weeks” guidance of leadership, although neither Dixon nor Fernández da Ponte mentioned specific partners.
Will XLM price respond?

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel (@Cryptopatel) shared Via X on September 15: “Testing zone tested – XLM Bulls ready to charge. Why this Setup? Price that withdraws into a Bullish Orderflowzone → Question area in the game. Strong rejection expected near the current support.
