Stellar Lumens Gains 1.5% as Trading Volume Surges, Signaling Institutional Accumulation
Stellar Lumens (XLM) advanced 1.53% over the past 24 hours to $0.3177, supported by a significant 134% surge in trading volume above its 30-day average — an indication of institutional accumulation during a period of tight consolidation.
The token outperformed the broader crypto market by 1.23%, trading within a narrow $0.315–$0.325 range after rebounding from a $0.3162 low. Diminishing short-term selling pressure and consistent support near $0.32 suggest that distribution has eased, with market participants positioning ahead of the upcoming Protocol 24 upgrade.
The rise in volume without sharp price swings highlights controlled buying activity, often a sign of steady accumulation by large holders. Meanwhile, Stellar’s network fundamentals continue to strengthen, with total tokenized assets rising 26% month-over-month to $639 million. Franklin Templeton’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund remains the dominant contributor, accounting for $446 million of that total.
