As of today, August 29, 2025, Stellar (XLM) is trading near $0.36, down slightly on the day but still holding above key support levels.
Earlier this month, the Stellar Development Foundation announced an investment in Archax, a UK-regulated digital asset platform, which has integrated Stellar into its tokenization tool. This move included the launch of the Aberdeen tokenized money market fund directly on the Stellar blockchain, signaling a significant step in real-world asset tokenization.
In parallel, Visa has expanded its settlement platform to include Stellar, alongside Avalanche, Ethereum, and Solana. This integration brings additional stablecoin settlement capabilities to Stellar, further solidifying its role in the global payments infrastructure.
On the organizational side, Stellar has strengthened its leadership team with high-profile hires, including PayPal’s former blockchain lead José Fernández da Ponte and Jason Karsh, an experienced executive from Block and Blockchain.com. These developments reflect a concerted effort to position Stellar as a competitive player in institutional finance and blockchain-based payment systems.
Market-wise, XLM has experienced volatility through August, posting both strong rallies and sharp corrections. Despite the near-term weakness, Stellar has continued to attract attention for its consistent progress in bringing real-world assets on-chain, with estimates suggesting more than $3 billion in tokenized assets could flow into its network by the end of 2025.
