Stellar’s (XLM) monthly 10% run is outpacing XRP’s performance over the same period, raising speculation about Stellar’s TOP 10 entrance by global market cap. Both of these OG altcoins have stem from the same roots & battle with the same confluent resistance levels on the charts.

The big difference is the market cap: XRP is nearly $100 billion, while Stellar Lumen’s overall market capitalization is currently at $7.43 billion. It would take Stellar to quadruple that figure for a return to the TOP 10 by crypto’s global market cap, and one catalyst makes that possible.
Stellar Lumen’s Present Outlook Hinges On This Level
Stellar’s (XLM) price has crossed several moving averages, including the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.2015 & the 50-week moving average at $0.2150. Staying above the $0.2145 on the daily charts will likely determine how far the altcoin’s rally can go this month.
In case of a pullback, Stellar Lumens has massive support at $0.164, aligning with the lower tier of the Bollinger Bands (BOLL), presented in green color. The Bollinger Bands were expanding, which typically hints at big price fluctuations incoming. Contrastingly to XRP, Stellar’s volatility may not be trading-volume driven.
Real-World Asset Ecosystem Earns Gains For Stellar
On Wednesday, Stellar’s daily trading volume kept below $452 million, while peers in global crypto ranks inked above $1 billion each, including Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Near Protocol (NEAR) & Uniswap (UNI). XRP’s 24-hour volume stood above $7B.
This implies Stellar Lumen’s ongoing rally is less of a speculative nature with foundational chain traits playing the main part.
The RWA growth is already massive in figures. Stellar’s RWA ecosystem whipped up 400% gains since 2025, pushing the valuation to roughly $3.5 billion. Derivatives traders have also flipped the sentiment to bullish. The long-versus-short scales have flipped to 1.0833, meaning more leveraged traders choose to bet on Stellar’s (XLM) upward price movement.
On the other hand, those who picked the other way didn’t see a beatdown in liquidations. Per CoinGlass data, the balance of liquidations between XLM bulls and bears is nearly equal. Out of $494K, beyond $249K were short-selling XLM price liquidations, with bulls taking in a $246.45K deficit.
The overall volume soared by 10% to $395 million, but couldn’t edge Spot markets.
