USDT XLM ZRO

The launch of USDT0 stablecoin on Stellar via LayerZero has sparked a significant surge in XLM's price. The integration connects Stellar to USDT liquidity across over 25 networks, offering sub-penny fees and near-instant finality.

This development landed on top of months of improving fundamentals around Stellar's real-world assets (RWA) and payments positioning. Stellar's tokenized RWA market has ballooned from under $1 billion at the end of 2025 to roughly $3-4 billion by late August 2026, led by tokenized treasuries, money-market funds, and non-US government bonds.

The technical setup also played a role in the price move. XLM had been bouncing from support near $0.17-0.18 and eyeing prior highs around $0.22. Traders were watching for a catalyst to push the trend higher.
