Rhino.fi opens a new route to and from Stellar, backed by $2M in liquidity to guarantee instant settlement

Adding a new chain to Rhino.fi is not simply integration work.

Technical connectivity is only the starting point. For a chain to go live on Rhino.fi, the infrastructure must be able to support real-world financial activity at scale, particularly when businesses are moving high-value stablecoin balances across chains.

Today, Stellar goes live on Rhino.fi with that standard built in.

Platforms can now move up to $2 million in a single transaction, settling natively to and from Stellar in under ~10 seconds and across routes connecting more than 30 chains.

The launch is backed by Rhino.fi’s own liquidity, giving platforms a predictable way to move stablecoins without the complexity of bridges.

Bringing enterprise reliability to Stellar

Cross-chain transfers can introduce slippage, MEV exposure, fragmented liquidity, failed routes and settlement delays. There can also be a gap between a bridge transaction completing and funds becoming usable inside the destination product. For a fintech, payments platform, treasury operation or card programme moving hundreds of thousands, or millions, those execution differences can translate into financial and operational risks.

To guarantee settlement, liquidity should be available when it is needed. The amount received should match the amount expected. The destination asset must settle predictably. And the platform must be able to give its users confidence that the transaction will complete as expected.

Rhino.fi’s Stellar integration is designed around those requirements.

Every supported route is backed by committed liquidity and deterministic execution, providing:

• Settlement in under 10 seconds

• Zero slippage

• MEV protection

• 1:1 dollar value, regardless of market deviations

This means a platform can initiate a high-value stablecoin transactions with a clear understanding of the outcome before the transaction begins.

Instead of routing funds through a sequence of bridges, decentralised exchanges and intermediary assets, Rhino.fi manages the complexity underneath the experience. The user sees a straightforward movement of value from the origin to the intended balance to and from Stellar.

Configured around your product

Every platform has different requirements for assets, fees, compliance controls and transaction scale. Through the Rhino.fi console, teams can configure the assets they support, how fees are applied, the AML rules they need and the transaction limits aligned for their business model.

Our cross-chain infrastructure shaped around how platforms actually operates. For example, a platform can consolidate all transactions going through our SDAs in one chain into a single company or treasury wallet. This simplifies reconciliation and gives treasury teams clearer control over liquidity, cash positions and downstream settlement.

From cross-chain transfer to native settlement

With Rhino.fi, funds settle natively to and from Stellar.

A deposit originating on another supported chain can arrive as native USDC on Stellar, ready to be reflected in the user’s balance. Value held on Stellar can also move outward to supported assets and networks through the same infrastructure.

This creates a two-way connection between Stellar and the wider stablecoin economy.

For Stellar-native platforms, it opens access to users, assets and liquidity across more than 30 other chains.

For platforms operating outside Stellar, it creates a simple route into Stellar-native balances and financial products without requiring them to build and maintain separate integrations for every network, bridge and liquidity source.

This means more interoperable experience in which the network becomes an implementation detail rather than a burden placed on the end-user.

A simpler experience for end-users

The Stellar integration is live on our three core features:

Smart Deposit Address

With Rhino.fi’s Smart Deposit Address, a platform can accept deposits from any supported chain and automatically settle them into the required native balance on Stellar.

The user does not need to manually bridge funds or understand which network the platform uses behind the scenes. They send a supported asset to a deposit address, and Rhino.fi manages the movement and settlement.

For the platform, this creates a more flexible deposit experience while reducing the number of steps between a user holding value elsewhere and becoming an active user on Stellar.

Bridge & Swap

Platforms can move and exchange stablecoins to and from Stellar across more than 30 other chains and all major stablecoins and tokens.

The bridge and swap happen as part of one flow. Rhino.fi can route from the user’s starting asset and network into the destination balance required by the product.

This allows Stellar-native platforms to reach users who may hold USDT, USDC or other major assets across different networks without requiring those users to reorganise their balances first.

It also enables treasury and settlement teams to move liquidity between Stellar and other ecosystems through a single integration.

Automated Onchain Actions

Settlement does not need to be the end of the transaction.

Through Automated Onchain Actions, funds can arrive already prepared for their intended use. A balance can become card-ready, be staked, routed to a vault or deployed to earn yield within the same transaction flow.

This is the difference between simply moving funds and activating them.

For platforms looking to grow balances and activity on Stellar, reducing the gap between deposit and use is critical. The fewer steps users should complete after funds arrive, the more naturally those funds can become part of the product experience.

Supporting everyday finance across chains

Stellar and Rhino.fi share a similar view of how blockchain infrastructure should serve financial products.

The technology should not become the experience. It should make the experience faster, more accessible and more useful.

Stellar provides a strong foundation for payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets and everyday financial applications. Rhino.fi extends that foundation across chains by making it easier for value to move into Stellar and directly into the balances where it can be used.

With Stellar now live on Rhino.fi, platforms can access enterprise-grade cross-chain movement without giving their users a complex bridge experience.

Move up to $2 million in one transaction. Settle natively in under 10 seconds. Activate balances automatically.
