Crypto pundit X Finance Bull recently highlighted remarks by Stellar CEO Denelle Dixon that suggest major blockchain partnerships can remain undisclosed for years before becoming public knowledge. In a tweet, X Finance Bull pointed to Dixon’s statement that Stellar had been working with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) since 2018, even though the relationship was only publicly announced recently. The pundit used the revelation to ask XRP holders which major entities could be working with Ripple behind the scenes without public disclosure. The post highlighted a video interview with Dixon, in which she discussed Stellar’s relationship with DTCC and the role the network has played in supporting institutional blockchain initiatives. Have you watched this $XRP holders? Stellar’s $XLM CEO said they’ve been working with DTCC since 2018, but only announced it publicly last month. THINK ABOUT THAT. So which major entities do you think have been working with Ripple secretly? pic.twitter.com/k8xSAXJHl9 https://t.co/sAnSgDsu6F — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) June 4, 2026 Dixon Details Long-Term Collaboration During the interview, Dixon addressed questions about how Stellar’s involvement with DTCC differs from the broader engagement the financial market infrastructure provider has had with dozens of other participants. According to Dixon, members of DTCC’s digital assets team have been working with Stellar since 2018 and 2019. She explained that the collaboration helped develop the protocol to meet the requirements of large financial institutions seeking to build on blockchain infrastructure. Dixon stated that the work focused on incorporating institutional-grade features directly into the network. These included compliance-related functions such as clawback, asset freeze mechanisms, and privacy features. She emphasized that these tools are at the protocol level, reducing the need for institutions to create custom smart contracts for certain regulatory and operational requirements. She also described DTCC’s decision to utilize an open public blockchain network as significant, noting that Stellar was designed with institutional use cases in mind from its inception. Focus on Institutional Adoption Dixon argued that institutions ultimately choose blockchain networks based on the strength and reliability of their technology. She stated that Stellar’s technology stack has been tested and proven for years of development aimed at serving enterprise and institutional users. As an example, she referenced financial services giant Franklin Templeton, which launched a money market fund on the Stellar network in 2019. Dixon noted that the company selected the network because of its technical capabilities rather than through direct coordination with the Stellar Development Foundation. She further stated that some individuals involved with DTCC contributed to Stellar’s development over the years, helping the network evolve into a platform capable of supporting large-scale institutional activity.

By emphasizing that a collaboration reportedly existed for several years before becoming public, the commentator suggested that other blockchain firms may also have longstanding institutional relationships that have not yet been disclosed. X Finance Bull specifically directed that question toward Ripple, asking XRP holders to consider which major entities could potentially be working with the company privately. While no evidence was presented of undisclosed Ripple partnerships, the post highlighted a growing belief among some market participants that significant blockchain integrations and institutional collaborations may quietly develop over the years before companies choose to announce them publicly.
