This is exactly how the game works. Torture retail enough to where they give up and sell. imagine selling looking up at XLM prospering. Ive been through the highs and lows on this project a few years before you. I’m thrilled every time the price goes down because of the sale opportunity to buy more. Nothing but positive news for XLM. So why doesn’t the price go up? Because it hasn’t been used anywhere near its potential in the way it was designed to be used. That times‘s coming. When clarity finally happens the top 2 coins to bank from that are XRP and XLM imo. Might be months, might be a couple more years. They can’t keep pushing it down much longer. The world is innovating in a way for XLM to scale to the masses and prosper, and a lot of changes have already been implemented. Fear from some price turmoil shouldn’t get us to sell one of the greatest investment opportunities out there. Hang in there, or don’t. But I’m sure you’ve done your research and know what you hold. These low prices should excite the Gen pop, not deter them. There’s no announcements like the Stellar Development Foundation is giving up, is illegal, or shutting down. In fact it’s actually growing mightily. The price is much more likely to reflect this growth, development, potential in the future rather than fizzle out to nothing. The SDF and XLM are really just getting warmed up. Enjoy it and take advantage of adding to your bag at great buying times like these. I don’t feel bad for XLM holders one bit. I feel bad for the ones who don’t know about it or don’t believe/see what’s coming.

Bull for Stellar Network, neither Bull nor bear for XLM

Imagine shilling XLM in late 2026. It's dead and burried, just cut your losses and move on.

Same Price, Different Stellar: 69% Growth Outruns XLM On a Red-Day

That explains why XLM keeps testing the floor despite the $127M headline.

If Thruput is successful leading to high leverage adoption, demand for XLM may increase as the key to network prioritization. If Stellar can sustain and accelerate the current trajectory of adoption and players like DTCC or an agentic economy take network usage to a new paradigm, this effect may be significant in a way that  the market currently does not understand. This kind of demand was always the original bull case of XLM, there just was not a mechanism for it to be realized.

Well, discussion about tokenomics is open. https://stellar.org/xlm-utility If you have good ideas on utility for XLM, and how for example lockups and rewards could have a flywheel effect on ecosystem, please share!

The DTCC part doesn't go live until next year. That being said, the bear part for me is that XLM has a great use case, low fees, fast, etc. That does not make it a good investment. Just because something is useful in this space, doesn't mean it will be a great financial instrument.

Many things to be bullish about with XLM, bank adoption, the rwa’s, DTCC, etc. Some very positive amendments being voted on right now also.

One thing that I've noticed is the FUD that people throw out about XRP is basically the same thing they say about XLM. In my eyes landing a deal with the DTCC tells you they are a major player in the changes in the financial overhaul that crypto is about to pull off. To me it seems like a no brainer for a long term hold. If you're just trying to trade to make money fast it may not be the best bet.

With more multi-billion dollar assests integrating Stellar, i'm curious to hear the bear and bull case for XLM

ZCash, XRP, XLM

XRP, Sol, TAO, QNT, XLM, HBAR, HYPE, Zcash to name a few. Look into coins with ETFs and big institutional adoption. What the big guys are buying into is what will succeed. Retail is no longer the driving force, we’re just a small push. Also look into TAO & its subnets. There’s a subnet for anything & everything in AI. They’re cheap, fairly new with tons of growth potential. When TAO goes up you make money, when subnets go up, you make money. And you earn crazy APY on the subnets too so that’s 3 ways you can earn crazy amounts of money. If TAO does a 3x & your subnets does a 3x, that’s a 9x return PLUS whatever APY subnets pay.

XRP, LTC, XLM, LINK and SC (Siacoin).

I think BTC and ETH are the strongest long-term bets, with LINK being interesting because of its role in connecting blockchain infrastructure with real-world data and tokenized assets. XLM could benefit from cross-border payments, while XMR has a different use case centered on financial privacy. The real question is whether adoption translates into lasting value for the tokens themselves. I also think most altcoins will eventually fade away, especially those that rely entirely on hype rather than solving a genuine problem.
