XLM Pushes Through $0.32 Mark, Gaining 1.5% Amid Renewed Institutional Interest

Stellar Climbs Above $0.32 as Institutional Activity Intensifies

Stellar Lumens (XLM) edged 1.53% higher in the past 24 hours to $0.3177, extending its steady advance as trading volume surged 134% above its 30-day average — signaling renewed institutional participation during a period of price consolidation.

The token traded between $0.315 and $0.325 after rebounding from an intraday low of $0.3162, outperforming the broader crypto market by roughly 1.2%. Analysts said the combination of modest price gains and unusually strong volume points to accumulation rather than speculative buying, a pattern often seen ahead of sustainable uptrends.

Support remains firm near $0.316, while resistance at $0.325 continues to cap upside attempts. A decisive breakout above that range could set the stage for a move toward the $0.35–$0.40 zone, with downside risk limited to $0.31.

On-chain data also supports the strengthening outlook. Stellar’s ecosystem of tokenized assets expanded 26% over the past month to $639 million, led by Franklin Templeton’s $446 million tokenized U.S. Treasury fund. The upcoming Protocol 24 upgrade has added to optimism, with traders expecting it to further enhance network efficiency and liquidity.
