Stellar (XLM) price rose slightly on Tuesday, with about 4% gains pushing the XLM value to above $0.37.
The XLM token, which has gained amid upticks for Ripple’s XRP, outpaced the rival as several coins looked to put Monday’s rout in the rearview mirror.
Even though Stellar remains well off its all-time high reached in 2018, the latest spike signals a potential resilience as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP hold onto gains.
NEAR Protocol is among the outperformers on Tuesday morning.
Stellar’s XLM token is trading at $0.39, with a price increase of over 4% in the past 24 hours.
According to market data by CoinMarketCap, XLM’s price gains come as daily trading volume experiences a 10% down flip.
The volume of over $297 million is nonetheless robust.
Other than ETF buzz, Stellar has benefited from milestones such as asset tokenisation and regulatory shifts.
Stellar has also seen a major institutional interest in real-world assets.
During Meridian25, the Stellar Development Foundation announced access to more than $3 billion in RWA on Stellar.
Issuers tapping into XLM’s ecosystem include PayPal, Ondo Finance, Mercado Bitcoin, Centrifuge and RedSwan Digital Real Estate.
The recent launch of PayPal USD on the Stellar network has bolstered transaction activity.

Meanwhile, the increase in Stellar’s total value locked signals growing institutional confidence.
Technical indicators and network developments are key metrics to watch when looking at Stellar (XLM) price.
From a technical analysis perspective, XLM is poised at the key support level near $0.35.
The broader picture remains largely negative with XLM in a descending triangle pattern.
Both the daily RSI and MACD signal weakness, and prices could fall to $0.30 and revisit $0.21 in the short term.
However, analysts say crypto is still bullish despite the bloodbath seen on Monday.
If sentiment flips positive, analysts project that a significant upward move will materialise.
The RWA traction and partnerships like those with Mastercard and MoneyGram strengthen Stellar’s appeal for institutional adoption.
With institutional interest rising and technical upgrades enhancing its network, XLM is well-positioned for potential growth.
Bitcoin’s holding above $112k has bolstered bulls, though analysts suggest investors should remain vigilant of market volatility.
If bulls break to $0.41, a potential breakout will unfold and contribute to XLM’s march to $0.58.
Crypto analysts have pointed out that current Stellar price levels could be a great buy-the-dip opportunity.
