Stellar’s native token, XLM, posted a 2.32% gain in the 24-hour window from September 7 at 09:00 to September 8 at 08:00, climbing from $0.36 to $0.37. The cryptocurrency traded within a narrow $0.01 band, with lows at $0.36 and highs at $0.37, marking a 2.66% intraday range.

Trading activity peaked at 14:00 on September 7, when 129.15 million tokens changed hands. Analysts note that maintaining support above $0.36 reflects sustained institutional buying interest, a trend that has underpinned the asset’s recent stability.

For Stellar, Paxos’ entry into its ecosystem marks a strategic milestone. With a decade of experience in regulated stablecoin issuance and a recent acquisition of Molecular Labs, Paxos is positioning USDH to comply with both the GENIUS Act and Europe’s MiCA regulations.

While ongoing debates around the GENIUS Act create some uncertainty, analysts say Stellar’s ability to hold above the $0.36 support level leaves room for further upside. Technical indicators suggest that a push beyond the $0.37 resistance could open the door to additional gains, supported by institutional flows and strengthening corporate confidence in blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
