Stellar (XLM) hovered around $0.17 on July 28, dropping about 6% over the week and struggling below major resistance levels. To hit $1 by 2030, XLM must climb roughly 483% from its current price, demanding significant network adoption and persistent buying interest.
The network’s appeal largely hinges on growing institutional use. In May, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and Stellar Development Foundation announced plans to link DTCC’s tokenization platform with Stellar by early 2027. This integration could unlock tokenized US Treasuries, ETFs, and Russell 1000 equities, though no DTCC assets have launched on Stellar yet.
Meanwhile, Stellar strengthened its ties with the United Nations Development Programme, rolling out digital payment pilots in five countries and research projects across 17 markets. Such collaborations might boost activity on Stellar, but the demand for XLM itself may lag if stablecoins or tokenized assets dominate usage.
Technically, XLM faces headwinds. It traded between $0.1696 and $0.1831 this week, staying below its 50-, 100-, and 200-week exponential moving averages, which hover between $0.2087 and $0.2227. The $0.17 mark is now key support. A dip below it could push prices toward $0.15 or even the 2026 low near $0.14. On the upside, reclaiming $0.18 to $0.19 is key before challenging resistance near $0.21 to $0.22. Only surpassing $0.30 would signal a meaningful trend reversal.
At $1 per token, Stellar’s market cap would reach about $34.2 billion based on current circulating supply, or nearly $50 billion fully diluted. These figures highlight the scale of growth required for Stellar to meet its ambitious price target.
