Stellar’s recent pre-announcements have sparked speculation among traders about potential developments for XLM, but the impact on the price may be short-lived. The token experienced a significant 11.5% increase in value between Sept. 2 and Sept. 8, while Bitcoin and most altcoins were down for the week. This surge followed a cryptic announcement from the Stellar organization, hinting at something significant happening on Sept. 12.
On Sept. 7, Stellar further fueled expectations by teasing a potential partnership, suggesting a rebranding and a shift toward real-world assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate. However, no specific details were provided.
Rumors circulated about Elon Musk’s X potentially integrating XLM after obtaining a currency transmitter license from regulators. However, XLM’s current market capitalization falls short of making it a top contender in the cryptocurrency market.
Stellar recently became a minority investor in payments provider MoneyGram International, aiming to expand its digital business and explore blockchain technology.
Stellar is preparing to deploy a smart contract platform called Soroban on its mainnet, positioning itself to compete in the decentralized application market.
While investors eagerly await the Sept. 12 announcement, the likelihood of achieving significant gains for XLM remains uncertain until concrete evidence emerges.
