Stellar’s XLM token jumped nearly 30% after Wall Street clearing giant DTCC named Stellar as the first public blockchain to connect to its upcoming tokenized securities settlement platform. The price hit $0.2443 in the 24 hours following the announcement.

DTCC, which oversees more than $114 trillion in assets, said tokenized securities held through its Depository Trust Company could become available on Stellar starting in the first half of 2027.

The partnership is not new. It traces back almost a decade to Securrency, an institutional tokenization firm that DTCC acquired in 2023, which is now known as DTCC Digital Assets. Securrency had worked directly with Stellar developers to build compliance tools into the network, including clawback functionality, transfer restrictions and identity controls.

Stellar Development Foundation CEO Denelle Dixon said Franklin Templeton was an early believer. The asset manager started exploring Stellar in 2019 and launched its BENJI tokenized U.S. Treasury fund on the network in 2021. BENJI was one of the first regulated tokenized funds and helped show that compliant assets could work on public blockchains.

CoinGecko reported on X that $XLM pumped 33.7% as momentum continued from Stellar’s DTCC partnership, sharing a chart showing the price spike.

Derivatives Markets React

Futures markets reflected the excitement. Open interest jumped 21.36% to $384.49M, while trading volume rose 2.31% to $4.26B. Higher open interest suggests new money entered the market, backing the rally with fresh positions.

The MACD remains bullish, with the MACD line sitting at 0.0269 above the signal line at 0.0209. The RSI pulled back to 65.15 after entering overbought territory, which suggests some buying pressure has eased since the initial spike.

Price Levels to Watch

XLM faced rejection near $0.30, where sellers have been active. A clean break above $0.30 could open the path toward $0.35, with $0.40 as the next target beyond that.

If XLM fails to hold above $0.23, the price could pull back to retest $0.20. Deeper support sits at $0.18 and $0.15.

The Stellar integration is designed to support issuance, settlement and lifecycle management of tokenized securities, with future projects potentially involving U.S. Treasuries and major indexes.
