XLM Falls 7.74% as Institutional Selling Pressure Increases

Stellar's native token XLM experienced significant selling pressure, declining from $0.39 to $0.36 between August 28 and August 29. Over 41.89 million XLM were traded as large holders reduced their positions.

The Stellar Development Foundation reported nearly 10 million registered accounts, with a daily addition of 5,000–6,000 corporate wallets. Ongoing partnerships with MoneyGram International and Circle Internet Financial support Stellar's adoption in cross-border finance.

On August 29, XLM faced sharp intraday volatility, dropping 1.38% before recovering 1.27%, closing at $0.361 after hitting a low of $0.357.
