Stellar Price Prediction – XLM Eyes $0.35 as DTCC’s $114 Trillion Tokenization Push Excites Market

Highlights:

• Stellar volume jumped to $1.57 billion, indicating strong momentum despite broader weakness in the crypto market.
• DTCC’s tokenization push continues to lift investor interest in Stellar as a long-term blockchain play.
• Analysts say a breakout above $0.259 could push XLM toward $0.35 soon.

Stellar (XLM) continues its impressive performance from recent days. This is even as the broader market continues to record sluggish performance in the short term. When writing, XLM was trading at $0.253, up by 8.15% in the day.

Stellar trading volumes are also rising intraday, up 24.49% to $1.57 billion. Rising trading volumes alongside the price indicate that bulls are firmly in control and that Stellar could keep pushing higher in the short- to medium-term. There are several factors that support such price action for Stellar.

DTCC Deal Could Send Stellar Price Higher

One of them is the weight of the news around Stellar. The primary reason for the ongoing pump is the news that the DTCC will use the Stellar network for asset tokenization, an initiative that will launch in 2027.

While altcoins tend to pump after big news and then dump, Stellar is different. That’s because of the weight of the DTCC news. Asset tokenization is expected to be the future of finance, and Wall Street is betting on it. The DTCC, one of the most critical players choosing Stellar, means it is the network that will be in the middle of a $114 trillion asset tokenization push. 

"The deal is a significant step toward connecting the regulated core of U.S. capital markets to public blockchain infrastructure, and reinforces @The_DTCC's stated strategy of building across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks."

It also signifies that  Stellar will be deeply integrated with traditional finance going into the future. With such a future ahead, investors increasingly believe that Stellar’s price action will be less dependent on the cryptocurrency market fluctuations.

Several other altcoins have shown such decoupling with Hyperliquid, which is also quite heavy in real-world assets, leading the way. As such, investors could get into Stellar more confidently regardless of what is happening in the broader market. The result is that Stellar could be headed higher in the short to medium term as retail and institutional demand converge. 

Stellar’s Credentials in Cross-Border Payments Add to Bullish Sentiment

Then there is the fact that Stellar also has the potential for cross-border transfers, where it can get adoption by banks. Stellar has already recorded strong adoption in this space over the years. The finance industry is increasingly pro-cryptocurrencies, thanks to changing market dynamics.

With regulations improving in Asia and Europe, and soon in the US through the CLARITY Act, Stellar could see even deeper integration with the banking industry. Markets are pricing this in and expect Stellar to head even higher going into the foreseeable future. The result is that FOMO could send Stellar rocketing to new highs in the short to medium term. 

Analysts Giving Positive Outlook for Stellar Adds to FOMO

Technical analysts are also adding to the excitement around Stellar in the short term. Since the parabolic price rally began, analysts have been hyping its potential to reach $0.50 in the short term.

Such an outlook, when the rest of the market is largely quiet, could send retail FOMO into Stellar in an unprecedented way. The fact that the broader market is not moving much means investors could start pulling capital from other cryptocurrencies and move more into Stellar. The result is that the price could rocket even higher in the short- to medium-term. 

Soon, people will discover the true value of XRP and XLM. It will be such a huge shift that many will try to jump on the bandwagon, but it will be too late.

Technical Analysis – Stellar Price Holds Near Key Multi-Month Resistance

After the recent parabolic price move, Stellar is starting to consolidate at $0.259, a 7-month resistance level. If bulls gain enough momentum to push through the $0.259 resistance, Stellar could rally to $0.35 in the short to medium term.

On the other hand, if bulls fail, two scenarios are likely. The first is range-bound trading around the $0.259 resistance in the short term. The second scenario is where bears take control and push Stellar to $0.210, which is now support. Of these scenarios, Stellar price could be headed much higher due to the magnitude of the DTCC deal.
