Stellar (XLM) continues its upward trajectory mid-week, gaining nearly 5% so far and trading around 0.260 on Wednesday. The bullish outlook is fueled by strong on-chain data, with Total Value Locked (TVL) hitting record highs and stablecoin activity rising this week. On the technical side, XLM could be gearing up for a push toward the $0.285 level.
Stellar’s TVL reaches all-time highs of over $97 million
Data from crypto intelligence tracker DefiLlama shows that Stellar’s TVL increase reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $97.7 million on Wednesday.
