Stellar (XLM) Charges Toward $0.25 Upon Official DTCC Deal

The DTCC has just picked their winning horses - and its Stellar Lumens (XLM). The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) processes a mouth-dropping $4.5 quadrillion in securities payments annually, but the kicker of the story is that DTCC actually plans to onboard their tokenized securities platform on-chain.

This is the first time ever for DTCC-securities to go live on a public blockchain. The assets deployed on Stellar Lumens (XLM) include Russell 1000 stocks, ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries. According to Stellar Foundation’s official press release on the matter, this provides four positive outcomes for current market participants:

Commenting on this, Nadine Chakar, DTCC’s Head Of Digital Assets had this to say: “The Stellar Network’s emphasis on compliance, transaction throughput and low cost operations meet our rigorous standards & will help ensure we’re ready for growth as usage of blockchain networks for Real-World Asset (RWA) transactions increases”.

Price-wise, the deal between DTCC & Stellar has caused a massive upswing for XLM, even as the broader markets are absolutely soaking in the red area. As previously reported by DailyCoin, XLM’s price technically broke out once it sustained the $0.16 resistance level - market watchers are now marking $0.25 as a plausible next target for XLM.

While DTCC is rolling out their multi-trillion dollar tokenized security platform on Stellar (XLM) by the end of first half of 2027, some related capital could rotate into the chain before that as the preparations continue. This might easily be one of the biggest Stellar (XLM) chain developments in years, while XLM just proved to everyone that BTC correlation isn’t the main driver.

With RWA being Stellar’s (XLM) secret sauce, the network’s growth past the current range of $7 billion in terms of market capitalization is a rational thing to expect. According to SoSoValue, XLM’s Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) is already at $10 billion, which puts Stellar Lumens (XLM) above a few higher-ranking privacy chain solutions, including Monero (XMR) & Zcash (ZEC).

Another huge tell is the trading volume - Stellar’s massive $1.35 billion XLM trading volume on Thursday hints at returning market demand, even though the broader market sentiment is utterly fearful. If the market structure-defying rally carries on, Stellar’s XLM could make waves by returning to the TOP 10 by crypto’s global market cap after years & years of absence.
