Stellar is evolving from a simple payments blockchain to a broader institutional payment infrastructure, integrating stablecoins like USDT0 and USBDC for cross-border settlements. BVNK now uses Stellar for payments across 130+ markets, and U.S. Bank pilots stablecoin settlements on the network.

The future of XLM depends on whether network expansion translates into more token use or if Stellar succeeds mainly as stablecoin infrastructure.
