Stellar Network Sees Record Activity Amid Critical Support Zone

The Stellar network has reached its highest level of on-chain activity in December 2025. Operations on the network, which represent desired changes to the ledger, have been steadily increasing throughout the year and hit a record high in December.

Total Value Locked (TVL) on the network surpassed $179.18 million for the first time in December, indicating a surge in asset transfers and smart-contract interactions. This growth coincides with institutional involvement, as US Bank began testing stablecoin issuance on the Stellar network.

XLM, the native token of the Stellar network, is currently trading near its critical support zone between $0.24 and $0.195. Analysts view this as an accumulation opportunity for those expecting a broader crypto recovery in late 2025 and early 2026, with a potential target at $0.40 to $0.49.
