Over the past seven days, XLM has gained more than 100.95%, reaching its highest level since January 16, 2025. The rally is largely driven by the release of Stellar Core v23.0.0rc2, a major protocol upgrade that has boosted network performance and scalability. As a result, XLM has consistently topped the gainers list across major exchanges.

• Cardano（ADA) has gained more than 26%

The momentum reflects growing investor interest in blockchain-based payment solutions, especially as Stellar’s smart contract capabilities and institutional integrations continue to expand.
