XLM Advances 2.3% as Institutional Interest in Blockchain Payments Builds
October 28, 2025

Stellar Lumens (XLM) rose 2.3% over the past 24 hours to $0.3314, extending its recent rally amid renewed institutional focus on blockchain-based payment systems.

The token broke above the $0.3250 resistance level at 06:00, supported by 71.5 million in trading volume, and reached an intraday high of $0.3383 before consolidating. Activity peaked during the European session at 190.5 million, suggesting participation from larger investors.

Despite a brief pullback from $0.333 to $0.331 on 11.8 million in selling volume, XLM maintained its bullish formation of higher lows, ranging from $0.3219 to $0.3314.

Market sentiment was buoyed by discussions at SWIFT’s SIBOS conference, where analysts underscored Stellar’s growing role in payment infrastructure, positioning it as a bridge between traditional banking and blockchain settlement.
