Stellar Lumens Gains 1.5% as Institutional Buying Lifts Volume 134% Above Average

Stellar Lumens (XLM) showed signs of renewed strength on Tuesday, advancing 1.53% over the past 24 hours to $0.3177. The move came alongside a sharp 134% increase in trading volume compared with its 30-day average — a sign of institutional accumulation rather than retail speculation.

The token slightly outperformed the broader crypto market by 1.23%, consolidating between $0.315 and $0.325 after rebounding from an intraday low of $0.3162. Analysts noted that easing short-term volume pressure points to reduced distribution, while strong support appears to be forming above the $0.32 level ahead of Stellar’s upcoming Protocol 24 upgrade.

Despite the heavy trading activity, XLM’s price remained stable — a pattern often associated with steady accumulation by larger players. The underlying network also continues to expand, with total tokenized assets climbing to $639 million, up 26% month-over-month, led by Franklin Templeton’s $446 million tokenized U.S. Treasury fund.
