Stellar’s XLM rises as BVNK adds Stellar to its global payments platform

Stellar’s native token XLM increased 2.7% to $0.2135 following BVNK’s integration of the Stellar blockchain into its stablecoin payments platform. The addition enables BVNK customers to route cross‑border payments, payouts, remittances and treasury transfers through Stellar without building a separate blockchain connection.

Integration details

BVNK made Stellar available via its existing API, allowing businesses to use the same technical setup they already employ for other payment rails. The Stellar rail is supported in over 130 markets, and BVNK manages the blockchain connection internally, so users do not need to modify their current payment infrastructure.

Impact on XLM market data

CoinGecko reported XLM trading at $0.2135, a 2.7% rise over 24 hours and an 11.2% gain over the past week. Daily volume stood at approximately $403.3 million, with a circulating market value of about $7.46 billion. Roughly 35 billion XLM are in circulation out of a maximum supply of 50 billion.

BVNK’s broader payment ecosystem

BVNK’s platform recorded $55.6 billion in volume and 3.6 billion transactions in 2025, with 99.99% uptime and an average settlement time of five seconds. The Stellar addition joins other settlement options, giving businesses a low‑cost, fast‑transfer channel alongside existing stablecoin and digital‑asset rails.
