Stellar's XLM token trades between $0.15 and $0.17 in May 2026, significantly below its 2018 peak despite tokenizing $1.2 billion in real-world assets and strong institutional partnerships with PayPal, Franklin Templeton, Visa, and others. The platform supports major stablecoins like PYUSD and USDC and offers advanced smart contract capabilities via Soroban, positioning it as a leading compliant infrastructure for payments and tokenization. Regulatory clarity and CME futures launch have reduced uncertainty, but XLM's price lags due to limited token demand capture and supply pressure from the Stellar Development Foundation's large holdings. Future price depends on growth in tokenized assets, stablecoin volume, bridge currency usage, and smart contract ecosystem development, with scenarios ranging from $0.10 to $3.50 by 2030.
