Stellar technical analysis

The XLM/USD price trades at $0.16732 as of 12:32pm UTC on 2 November 2026, below its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), at approximately $0.17, $0.19, $0.18 and $0.18 respectively.

The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) reads 38.76, indicating subdued momentum without reaching oversold territory. The 14-day average directional index (ADX) stands at 28.30, indicating some trend strength without establishing its direction.

On the upside, the 100- and 200-day SMAs near $0.18 provide initial resistance references, followed by the classic pivot at $0.19. Beyond these levels, R1 stands at $0.21 and R2 at $0.26.

On the downside, the classic S1 level at $0.14 provides a lower support reference. A move above the central pivot could bring R1 into view, while further declines could shift attention towards S1 (TradingView, 2 November 2026).

Stellar latest and upcoming macro and sector news

MetaMask–Stellar integration

MetaMask added Stellar as a default network on 29 October 2026, allowing users to manage XLM and Stellar-based assets without manually adding the network. Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams launched on 14 October, expanding access to market data for Stellar-based applications (MetaMask, 29 October 2026; Stellar Development Foundation, 14 October 2026).

Bell upgrade vote

The Bell (Protocol 30) upgrade faces a testnet validator vote on 3 November, followed by a mainnet vote on 23 November. Proposed changes include expanded smart contract functionality, support for post-quantum signature verification and groundwork for faster ledger processing. Implementation depends on validator approval (Stellar Development Foundation, 20 October 2026).

$6.3bn Binance cyberattack

Binance resumed withdrawals following its reported $6.3bn security breach in late October, during a period of wider cryptocurrency market volatility (Reuters, updated 2 November 2026).

Capital.com analyst view: Stellar

MetaMask's addition of Stellar as a default network and the launch of Chainlink Data Feeds have expanded access to Stellar-based services, although their effect on demand for XLM remains uncertain.

The Bell (Protocol 30) upgrade could influence network activity and sentiment, depending on validator approval and implementation.

Tokenisation partnerships may encourage wider use of Stellar, although higher activity does not necessarily lead to higher XLM prices. Broader cryptocurrency market conditions could also affect demand, with continued outflows potentially weighing on prices while stabilising flows may provide support.

FAQ

What could affect Stellar’s (XLM) price by 2030?

Third-party Stellar forecasts for 2030 vary considerably. CoinCodex projects $0.37, while crypto.news gives a base case of $0.54. CoinDataFlow estimates an average of $0.82, compared with CryptoTicker's $0.27. CoinLore outlines a potential price of $0.31. These estimates use different methodologies and assumptions rather than representing a consensus forecast. XLM's future price could be influenced by network adoption, token demand, regulatory developments and broader cryptocurrency market conditions. None of these projections guarantees future performance.

Who owns the most Stellar?

Stellar does not have a single owner or controlling shareholder. It is an open blockchain network, while the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) supports its development and manages substantial XLM allocations for ecosystem initiatives. Exchanges and custodians also hold large amounts of XLM, sometimes on behalf of multiple customers. This makes identifying the largest individual beneficial owner difficult from wallet balances alone. Holdings can change as tokens are distributed, transferred or sold.

How many Stellars are there?

Stellar has approximately 50 billion lumens (XLM) in existence, with around 35.25 billion circulating as of 2 November 2026. The remaining supply includes tokens allocated to ecosystem development and other non-circulating holdings. Stellar originally created 100 billion XLM and operated an inflation mechanism before ending inflation and reducing its total supply in 2019. No new lumens will be created, although circulating supply can change as existing tokens enter the market.

Could Stellar’s price go up or down?

Yes. Stellar's price could rise if network adoption increases, tokenisation partnerships expand or broader cryptocurrency market conditions improve. Developments such as MetaMask integration, Chainlink Data Feeds and the Bell upgrade may also influence demand. Conversely, weaker adoption, regulatory changes, delayed upgrades or wider market declines could weigh on XLM. Increased network activity does not necessarily translate into higher token demand, while technical indicators cannot reliably predict future price movements.

Is XLM better than XRP?

Stellar (XLM) and XRP operate on separate blockchain networks, each supporting payments and asset transfers. Stellar focuses on cross-border payments and asset tokenisation, while the XRP Ledger also supports payments and tokenised assets. Neither is inherently better, as their suitability depends on factors such as intended use, transaction costs, network features and adoption. From an investment perspective, both face market volatility, regulatory uncertainty and changing demand. Network activity alone does not reliably indicate future token prices.

Should I invest in Stellar?

Whether to invest in Stellar depends on your financial circumstances, objectives, risk tolerance and investment horizon. Network developments, including the Bell upgrade and expanding tokenisation partnerships, could influence future adoption, but competition, regulatory uncertainty and broader cryptocurrency volatility present risks. Stellar has experienced substantial price movements in both directions, while third-party forecasts vary considerably. These estimates cannot establish future returns, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. This information does not constitute investment advice.

Can I trade Stellar CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade Stellar CFDs on Capital.com. Trading crypto CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
