Key takeaways

• XLM is trading above $0.24 after adding 2% to its value in the last 24 hours.
• The cryptocurrency eyes a breakout as the Stellar blockchain hits a new TVL all-time high.

Stellar’s TVL hits a new all-time high

XLM has performed positively over the last 24 hours, adding 2% to its value during that period. The coin is now trading above $0.24 after adding over 10% in the previous two days.

The positive performance comes as Stellar’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has hit a new all-time high. According to DefiLlama, XLM’s TVL has reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $169.30 million on Tuesday. 

The surge in TVL suggests a growing activity and interest in the Stellar ecosystem, with more users depositing and using assets on XLM-based protocols. 

Data obtained from CryptoQuant also supports the positive outlook for XLM, with its spot and futures markets indicating large whale orders and buy dominance. These indicators point to a potential rally in the near term. 

XLM eyes $0.28 in the near term

The XLM/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Stellar Lumen has added over 2% to its value in the last 24 hours. The coin found support around the weekly support level at $0.221 on Friday, and has added over 10% to its value since then. 

Currently, XLM is trading at $0.248, close to the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level of  $0.256, a key resistance zone. 

If XLM surges past the $0.256 resistance level, it could rally higher towards the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.292 over the next few hours or days. 

The 4-hour RSI of 54 is above the neutral 50, indicating a growing bullish trend. For the recovery rally to be sustained, the RSI must continue towards the overbought region. Furthermore, the MACD exhibited a bullish crossover over the weekend, signaling a buy opportunity and reinforcing the bullish thesis.

However, if XLM faces a correction, the bearish trend could extend toward the weekly support level at $0.221.

• XLM gained by more than 6% to break above $0.29, with bulls battling off intraday lows of $0.27.
• The altcoin looked poised for a breakout above the $0.30 level.
• Key catalysts could include Stellar partnerships and sentiment around the spot XRP ETF going live in the United States.

Stellar (XLM) price gained 6% to surge past the $0.29 mark as bulls positioned for a potential breakout above the psychologically significant $0.30 level.

While price remains below the local peak above $0.35 seen this past month, the upside momentum over the 24 hours suggests buying pressure is mounting.

Key to this is a confluence of factors, including burgeoning partnerships in real-world applications.

There’s also heightened market optimism stemming from the imminent launch of spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.

Stellar price touches key resistance near $0.30

Stellar is among the altcoins to post minor gains in the past 24 hours as Bitcoin struggles with pressure in the $103,000-$100,000 range.

XLM shows resilience with price climbing over 6% to reach intraday highs of $0.297.

This has the token poised near $0.30 amid a spike in trading volume, which was up 58% to over $291 million at the time of writing.

Notably, prices hovered at a level above which the next major resistance will be around $0.35, only if there’s a decisive breach of the $0.30 level.

Consistent buying pressure in recent sessions means buyers have been able to ride minor pullbacks.

That’s critical as the token now consolidates between $0.27 and $0.30.

Short-term indicators, including a positive MACD crossover and an upsloping RSI at 47, suggest room for further upside.

However, traders might want to watch out for broader market sentiment and action around $0.31.

XLM gains amid ETF buzz, partnerships

As noted, the surge in XLM’s value comes amid fresh positive sentiment.

Other than regulatory tailwinds, strategic alliances that enhance Stellar’s ecosystem and the launch of spot crypto ETFs stand out.

The funds listing front has an impending spot XRP ETF debut, helping the Ripple token up, and also targets the crucial $3.00 market.

Targeted partnerships are also positioning Stellar at the forefront of the tokenized real-world assets trend.

The blockchain platform welcomed a landmark collaboration with Nasdaq-listed Turbo Energy.

In this deal, the Stellar Development Foundation and Swiss digital asset firm Taurus are working together to tokenize debt financing for hybrid solar and battery installations.

Built on the Stellar blockchain, the initiative kicks off with a proof-of-concept pilot at a supermarket in Spain, leveraging XLM’s blockchain to issue and manage tokenized Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

XLM could also benefit from SEC Chair Paul Atkins’s plans to create a framework for classifying crypto tokens.

On November 12, 2025, at the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, Atkins advocated for a comprehensive token taxonomy rooted in the Howey Test.

The goal is to offer greater regulatory clarity by distinguishing securities from commodities and collectibles.

SEC’s objective is to foster innovation without stifling growth.
