Stellar Quietly Sets New On-Chain Records in December — Is a Strong Price Rally Coming?
Stellar (XLM) hit record on-chain activity in December 2025, including peak operations and all-time high TVL, despite muted price action.Summary
The Stellar (XLM) network achieved significant on-chain milestones in December 2025, even as its price remained subdued. The number of network Operations reached its yearly high, indicating strong cash flow and rising real-world demand, supported by growing Chain Transactions. Furthermore, Stellar's Total Value Locked (TVL) hit an all-time high of over $179.18 million, suggesting investors are locking more XLM into ecosystems, possibly influenced by US Bank testing stablecoin issuance on the network. Despite this fundamental strength, XLM is currently testing a critical weekly support zone between $0.24 and $0.195. Analysts suggest this could be an accumulation opportunity, targeting $0.40–$0.49 if the broader market recovers, but caution that fundamental strength doesn't guarantee immediate price movement, recommending Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategies.
