The partnerships, integrations, RWAs, stablecoins and financial infrastructure being built today are on a completely different scale.
Yet $XLM is still around $0.20.
The last ATH was set before most of this even existed.

XLM’s last ATH was in 2018.
Now look at what has been built since:
MoneyGram
Franklin Templeton
WisdomTree
Circle / USDC / EURC
PayPal / PYUSD
Mastercard
Visa
Paxos
Archax
Ondo
Centrifuge
RedSwan
BVNK
Coinme
Bitso
Mercado Bitcoin
Wirex
Samsung
U.S. Bank
DTCC
Amundi
next...
...
Société Générale
Kenanga
Marketnode
UNDP
Bermuda
And this is only the major institutional/payment layer.
Stellar is no longer the same network that made the 2018 ATH.
In this article, I explain the design choices behind our confidential token work at @OpenZeppelin and how this architecture addresses the practical needs of stablecoin issuers. ⤵️ ⤵️

Good Morning Stellar $XLM Fam. ☀️
Big things are coming.
The pieces are moving.
The infrastructure is being built.
The world is waking up to what Stellar is becoming.
Stay patient. Stay focused. Stay accumulating.
$XLM
Lebo pride! I feel like someone like @mcuban might be interested.
For years, blockchain hasn’t produced enough applications that are materially better than what existed before. I think something changed.
It’s not about crypto - it’s about financial infrastructure. Banks are issuing money on public chains, @Visa transactions are settling in stablecoins, and regulated securities are becoming programmable. That’s what’s happening on @StellarOrg .
Here’s sample of some of the exciting things that have happened on Stellar lately:
@BVNKFinance , a payments company now owned by @Mastercard , plugged into Stellar. Now a business can now pay suppliers or staff in 130+ markets using digital dollars, without having to stitch together a different system for every country.
@usbank sent its own digital dollar across borders between North America and Europe on Stellar. It’s a sign that one of America’s biggest banks sees blockchain as a way to move money internationally in seconds, while keeping the safeguards customers expect.
Nuvanté built a prototype that links Stellar to the @bankofengland core settlement system. It points to a future where digital dollars can be as safe and final as money moving between banks today.
@tether ‘s digital dollar @USDT0_to , the most widely used one in the world, is now live on Stellar. It means more people can hold and send dollars on the network, which matters most in places where the local currency is unstable.
And @MoneyGram launched a Stellar powered Visa card in Colombia. If your family sends you money from abroad, you no longer have to stand in line to pick up cash. It lands in your app as digital dollars, and you can spend it anywhere Visa is accepted with a tap of your phone.
Businesses, banks, central banks, and everyday people are all getting better access to the same financial system. That’s the whole point of what we are building, and it’s all here.
Hold the line, retail peepz. 🫡
Every pullback under $0.20 per $XLM is another opportunity to accumulate.
Don’t let volatility shake you out of the position you believe in.
Seven years ago, @FTDA_US set out to tokenize.
Open source technology allowed Franklin Templeton to start building onchain, on Stellar.
Seven years later, openness is still the foundation of the Stellar network and the launchpad for the future 🚀
Are we finally moving from meme season to payments season?
The infrastructure is already being built.
Stellar is seeing real payment volume, stablecoin growth, institutional deployments, and new payment integrations.
$XLM isn’t waiting for payments season.
It’s ready for it.
The big players are at it again.
They can move the market, but they can’t move our conviction.
The deeper the dip, the more opportunity retail gets to accumulate.
Stay patient. Stack $XLM . ⚡
P28's mainnet launch brings performance gains to Stellar:
→ Ledgers close in ~5s, down from ~5.7s
→ Throughput up 10-15% on mainnet
→ 216.1 TPS across 100 consecutive blocks
→ Up to 2x fewer instructions on some contract calls
Are we expecting MORE announcements this week, @StellarOrg? 👀
BVNK just went live on Stellar.
And we still have the ecosystem moving.
Something tells me September isn't finished yet. 🏦🌎
$XLM
New SEP-40 feeds on @StellarOrg.
earnUSDC is @GamiLabs' yield-bearing USDC vault token. Its NAV is now published onchain.
@USDT0_to brings Tether's $USDT to Stellar as a multichain asset.
Users can now post both as collateral in Stellar's DeFi ecosystem.
We all know $XLM has a stellar future.
But the way $SDF is suddenly talking tokenomics?
Makes me think the bigger plan hasn’t even been revealed yet.
Stay awake. 👀🚀
