XRP rival gains amid rising adoption
This notable uproar of Stellar token over the past week has coincided with rising adoption of this network to facilitate RWA tokenization. Over the past 30 days, this network recorded a 3.49% increase in RWA holders to 19,139 on Tuesday, according to data from RWA.xyz.
Additionally, Stellar’s Distributed Asset Value (DAV), which shows RWA tokens using this blockchain as a distribution layer, edged 8.2% in 30 days, hovering at around $3.29 billion at the time of writing.
Worth noting that Stellar’s stablecoin holders were 698,290 at press time, up 2.56% in 30 days.
What’s next for the XLM price?
As XLM price gradually followed XRP in bullish sentiment, crypto analyst Celal Kucucker expects it to rally to reach $2.5 in this macro bull market.
Ultimately, XLM’s macro bullish outlook remains pegged to the performance of the broader crypto market and the network’s adoption rate in the near future.
