XRP Market Cap Surpasses Stellar

XLM Price Decline

XRP Price Decline
XRP is down 61.8% from its July 2025 peak, but still holds more institutional demand than XLM.
Tokenized Assets Don't Drive XLM Value
Stellar's tokenized assets don't boost XLM demand because transaction fees are only fractions of a cent.
XLM Lacks Institutional Demand
XLM has no spot ETF or corporate treasury buyers unlike XRP, which has $1.57 billion in spot funds and 473 million XRP held by Evernorth.
XRP Benefits from Institutional Demand
XRP has spot ETFs and corporate treasury buyers, including Evernorth holding 473 million XRP.
Why XRP Remains More Valuable
XRP's institutional demand makes it 12.8 times more valuable than Stellar despite hosting fewer tokenized assets.
Stellar's Tokenized Assets Won't Close Gap
Stellar's tokenized assets won't close the value gap without a spot XLM fund, corporate treasury adoption, or protocol changes.
What Happens Next
The 12.8x gap between XRP and XLM will persist unless XLM gains institutional demand through new funds or treasury adoption.
At a glance
Stellar hosts more tokenized real-world assets than XRP Ledger but XRP remains 12.8 times more valuable due to institutional demand for XRP versus XLM's low usage in tokenized transactions.
