Stellar (XLM) is experiencing a key consolidation phase this October 24, 2025. The asset is trading near $0.32 after breaking significant resistance. The move was backed by an extraordinary 350% increase in XLM volume and institutional activity, according to market data. This surge suggests possible accumulation by large funds or treasuries.
XLM’s price showed a 2.5% rise, moving from $0.3131 to a high of $0.3229. This action broke the technical level of $0.3170. However, the most notable aspect was the trading volume. It multiplied 3.5 times compared to the previous day. Now, the price is stabilizing in a narrow range while technical indicators appear neutral. The RSI stands at 36.72, leaving room for a new impulse if buying resumes. The market capitalization remains stable, fluctuating between $9 billion and $10.5 billion.
This renewed interest does not arise in a vacuum. The Stellar network has recently strengthened its fundamentals. Since July, the network integrated the PayPal USD (PYUSD) stablecoin. Furthermore, it shows notable growth in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). These factors, added to the upcoming Protocol 23 update, reinforce its value. The adoption of the ISO 20022 standard also aligns Stellar with traditional finance. This fundamental backdrop could be attracting the attention of long-term investors.
Are large companies preparing Stellar’s next move?
A volume spike of this magnitude is often interpreted as institutional accumulation. When large investors buy, they reduce the available liquidity in the market. This can lead to future corrections being shorter or less deep. Interest from large companies and funds seems linked to Stellar’s capacity for RWA and cross-border payments. The increase in XLM volume and institutional activity is a signal that traders do not often ignore.
Analysts are closely watching key technical levels. The next resistance levels are found at $0.36, $0.38, and crucially, $0.41. On the other hand, the $0.32 zone acts as immediate support. A firm daily close above $0.41 would confirm a new bullish phase. Otherwise, the price could stagnate or face a more severe correction toward lower supports. The developments regarding Protocol 23 will be decisive for market sentiment in the coming weeks.
