DTCC builds on Stellar SEP-57

At the Stellar AMA, Tomer Weller stated:

"There are a few upcoming issuers building on SEP57, including DTCC. Given the complexity of these contracts I don't expect that we'll see them live before 2027. Realistically speaking though most issuers find that the classic Stellar asset controls are more than enough (allow lists, deny lists, clawback) for issuing regulated assets"

A few things about SEP-57

  1. Lifecycle Management of Securities

Simply moving a token from one wallet to another is easy, but stocks and ETFs involve complex corporate transactions:

Dividend Payment: Automatic and regulatory distribution of profits to token holders.

Voting Rights: Organizing general meeting votes directly on the blockchain.

Reporting: Real-time data transmission in accordance with regulatory requirements.

These require the programmability provided by Soroban smart contracts, which SEP-57 standardizes.

  1. Compatibility with the rest of the financial world (Interoperability)

Because SEP-57 is directly based on Ethereum’s ERC-3643 (T-REX) standard, it ensures that DTCC tokens created on Stellar are technically compatible with the systems of other institutions. This eliminates the need to build expensive and insecure bridges between different networks.

  1. Regulatory certainty and SEC conditions

DTCC operates under a No-Action Letter from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This license requires exceptionally strict oversight, where errors, lost tokens or abuse must be immediately remedied. SEP-57 brings a universal, audited and OpenZeppelin-verified framework to these regulated processes, ensuring full investor protection.

Stellar SEP-57 is a new standard that is also suitable for production use by DTCC

Bitget Wallet to Expand Global Stablecoin Payments on Stellar

Okay, okay, the announcement is a couple of months ago. But does anyone ever read these?

" Bitget Wallet has integrated Stellar across its payment infrastructure, including crypto card, QR payments, bank transfers, and on/off-ramps, to support seamless movement between digital assets and real-world financial activity. By leveraging the Stellar network's fast settlement and low transaction costs, the collaboration aims to strengthen cross-border transfers, merchant payments, and consumer cash-out scenarios within a self-custodial wallet environment. The rollout will begin in phases, with regional availability dependent on local payment integrations. "

So Bitget Wallet does the same as Kraken, it integrates MoneyGram off-ramps ( works only whit Stellar USDC ). And a lot more besides..

Bitget Wallet Serving more than 90 million users worldwide

https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/03/12/3254862/0/en/bitget-wallet-to-expand-global-stablecoin-payments-on-stellar.html

What about Mesh? " Mesh, the leading crypto payments network, today announced its integration with the Stellar network, establishing Stellar as a core Settlement layer across the Mesh Ecosystem and laying the groundwork for Deeper Collaboration to advance stablecoin-powered payments at a global scale. "

" Mesh has focused on scaling its infrastructure into regions such as Latin America, Asia, and Europe, fueling product development and strengthening a global network that already reaches more than 900 million users worldwide. "

Circle CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) is really necessary, and definitely supports these integrations.

Bermuda Financial Markets — Real Scale in USD Terms

Here is a more concrete breakdown of Bermuda’s financial market footprint in U.S. dollar terms.

Key Financial Metrics of Bermuda:

Bermuda total GDP ~9 billion USD

International business & financial sector contribution ~2.1 billion USD annually

Insurance & reinsurance sector contribution to economy ~2.6 billion USD annually

Annual premiums written by Bermuda-based ABIR reinsurers ~171 billion USD

Bermuda ILS / catastrophe bond market ~50–60 billion USD

Insurance & reinsurance capital managed in Bermuda ~several hundred billion USD

Combined assets of Bermuda-registered insurers ~over 1 trillion USD

What These Numbers Actually Mean

These figures are not all the same type of money, so they cannot be perfectly added together without overlap. But if you look at the scale of institutional financial infrastructure operating through Bermuda:

Annual Risk & Insurance Flows

~171 billion USD in insurance premiums

~50–60 billion USD in ILS/catastrophe bond markets

very large collateral, treasury, and reinsurance-related capital flows

Managed Capital & Balance Sheets

over 1 trillion USD in insurance/reinsurance assets

major treasury, bond, repo, and collateral portfolios

Simplified Big Picture

If we create a rough estimate of Bermuda’s overall financial market footprint:

Annual insurance/risk flows ~171 billion USD

ILS / catastrophe bond market ~55 billion USD

Managed insurance assets ~1 trillion+ USD

Rough Combined Scale

≈ 1.2–1.3 trillion USD

This does not mean Bermuda’s domestic economy is worth a trillion dollars. It means that around Bermuda’s legal, insurance, and financial infrastructure, roughly trillion-dollar-scale institutional capital is managed or routed.

That is why Bermuda matters far more than many people realize:

it is not financially “a small island,”

but one of the world’s most important hubs for risk transfer, reinsurance, and institutional collateral infrastructure.

It's not just buying a cup of coffee with a digital wallet. It's a huge market that Stellar is starting to tokenize.
