XLM price jumps as DTCC taps Stellar for Wall Street tokenisation push

Stellar’s XLM token has posted one of the strongest rallies in the crypto market this week after the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) confirmed plans to connect its upcoming tokenisation platform to the Stellar blockchain.

XLM climbed more than 16% in 24 hours and traded around $0.171 on early Thursday.

Over the past seven days, the token has recorded a 17.5% gain, while daily trading volume has surged to more than $771 million.

DTCC plans tokenised equities, ETFs and treasuries on Stellar

DTCC has revealed that its Digital Custody Trust (DTC) tokenisation service will integrate with Stellar as part of a broader multi-chain strategy aimed at bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain networks.

DTCC said the new system is expected to support tokenised versions of blue-chip equities, exchange-traded funds, US Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and corporate bonds.

The rollout is scheduled for the first half of 2027.

Notably, DTCC plays a central role in the US financial system. It processes and safeguards securities transactions across American markets and oversees infrastructure tied to more than $100 trillion in assets.

The announcement of plans to tokenise equities, ETFs, and treasuries on Stellar immediately drew attention across crypto markets because it moves beyond experimental pilots and focuses on regulated securities infrastructure.

According to the details released this week, tokenised assets issued through the system would still maintain the same investor protections and custody standards used in traditional financial markets.

The initiative also follows a no-action letter granted by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2025, giving DTCC room to move forward with its tokenisation plans under defined regulatory conditions.

That regulatory clarity appears to have strengthened market confidence around the project.

XLM price forecast following the DTCC news

XLM’s breakout following the DTCC announcement has shifted the token into a critical technical range after weeks of relatively muted price action.

The rally pushed XLM toward the $0.1789 resistance level, an area that has historically capped short-term upside based on recent trading data.

The token briefly touched highs near $0.1776 before facing resistance as traders locked in profits after the sharp move.

In the near term, the bullish structure remains intact as long as XLM holds the $0.1436 to $0.1500 support region.

That area is technically significant because it aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level while also overlapping with key short-term moving averages that traders often use to gauge momentum strength.

If bulls continue defending that zone, the first upside target remains a retest of the recent swing high around $0.173 to $0.1789.

A confirmed breakout above $0.1789 could open the door toward the next resistance area near $0.2032.

Historical price data shows that previous moves above the $0.178 range have often led to accelerated upside momentum into higher trading zones.

Beyond that, the next major resistance sits near $0.2173, which would represent one of XLM’s strongest rallies in months if reached.

However, on the downside, weakening momentum below $0.1572 could trigger a deeper retracement toward the next support level around $0.1457, an area that has previously acted as a strong demand zone during earlier consolidation phases.
