XLM — Stellar

A rail for cheap transfers abroad, intended for people without a bank account.

What it is for

Set out to
cheap cross-border payments and access to financial services.
Today in addition
Smart contracts, tokenization of real-world assets, a network of more than 500,000 cash-in and cash-out points.
Notable
its own consensus, in which every node chooses its own list of trusted peers.
Strength
very low fees, fast finality.
Weakness
the contract platform is markedly younger than the payment rail.

Contract address

Stellar — its own chain, no contract.

The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

If the high of a window comes before the low, the rise is calculated from the low to the next interim high within the same window.

Finding

Fees in XLM and in practice dormant, but vanishingly small; minimum reserve 1 XLM per account

Investors and partners: $5.0 million. Stripe as the only named backer — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.

Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.

No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
