Stellar Lumens Climbs 1.5% as Volume Surge Hints at Institutional Accumulation
Stellar Lumens (XLM) advanced 1.53% over the past 24 hours to $0.3177, supported by a 134% spike in trading volume above its 30-day average — a move suggesting that institutional investors are quietly accumulating positions.
The token slightly outpaced the broader crypto market, consolidating between $0.315 and $0.325 after rebounding from a session low of $0.3162. Diminishing short-term volume pressure indicates that distribution may have eased, allowing a stronger support base to form near the $0.32 level ahead of Stellar’s upcoming Protocol 24 upgrade.
Notably, the sharp rise in volume without corresponding volatility points to steady accumulation rather than speculative trading. Such conditions often precede sustainable trend reversals or measured breakouts.
Stellar’s ecosystem continues to grow in parallel, with total tokenized assets reaching $639 million — up 26% month-on-month. The expansion is led primarily by Franklin Templeton’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, now valued at $446 million.
