Stellar (XLM) Sets New All-Time High in Price Performance

Stellar (XLM) has achieved dual all-time milestones in its historical price performance, surging 75.7% in July and 74.8% in Q3 2025. It has maintained a six-year streak of closing in the green zone and posted a record-breaking 11% average growth rate for July. The asset's performance is also the best quarter on record, nearly double its previous highest gains in 2016 and 2018. Despite a 13.46% decline in the last seven days, Stellar remains bullish and may lead market momentum with the Bitcoin price facing bearish consolidation.

Stellar (XLM) has achieved significant milestones in its historical price performance, surging by 75.7% in July and 74.8% in the third quarter of 2025. This performance marks the best July and Q3 gains in Stellar's history, according to Cryptorank data [2]. The asset has maintained a six-year streak of closing in the green zone, with a record-breaking 11% average growth rate for July [2].

Despite a 13.46% decline in the last seven days, Stellar remains bullish. The asset's performance is the best quarter on record, nearly doubling its previous highest gains in 2016 and 2018 [2]. The recent decline may be attributed to a death cross, which has led to a significant decrease in trading volume by 44.16% to $609.15 million [2]. However, the asset's strong fundamentals and technical indicators suggest a potential recovery.

The Stellar ecosystem is also experiencing significant upgrades. Protocol 23, set for a mainnet vote on August 14, includes eight key upgrades, such as enhancements in smart contracts, transaction scale, and user capacity [1]. These upgrades could reshape Stellar's place in the cryptocurrency industry and bring more use cases and adoption, aligning with the timing of the technical breakout.

Moreover, Stellar has broken out of a multi-month descending channel, confirming a significant trend change [1]. The price is now consolidating above its former resistance line, which often precedes continuation. This healthy consolidation suggests that Stellar's rally may be far from over.

The Bitcoin price facing bearish consolidation may also contribute to Stellar leading market momentum. With XRP dominating the week's narrative and surging by over 16.6% in the past seven days, the golden cross on the ratio chart could signal a change in relative strength, potentially leading to a price rotation [3].
