🔹 XLM Overtakes BCH in Market Cap
A major shift in crypto rankings: Stellar (XLM) has officially surpassed Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in market capitalization.
According to CoinMarketCap:
➡️ Stellar (XLM) market cap: $8.4B
➡️ Bitcoin Cash (BCH) market cap: $8.25B
➡️ Stellar is now #16, BCH drops to #17
🔹 XLM Joins Nasdaq Crypto ETF Index
In a big boost for Stellar, the Nasdaq Crypto U.S. Settlement Price Index (used by the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF) has restructured its portfolio.
✅ Newly added assets: Stellar (XLM), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), XRP
✅ Joining legacy giants: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)
This move gives Stellar stronger exposure to institutional investors.
🔹 Stellar’s Silent Rise in Real-World Adoption
Stellar is quietly becoming one of the most practical blockchains in the space:
🚀 Over 70 countries use Stellar for cross-border payments
📊 Billions of transactions processed
🌍 $17B in RWA volume, with $522M currently on-chain
💡 Leading in tokenized financial assets and stablecoin integrations
🧠 Smart contract upgrades with Soroban: improved speed, caching, and concurrency
🔹 Can Bitcoin Cash Make a Comeback?
While Stellar climbs, BCH remains in the top 20—but questions remain:
📉 Can BCH evolve beyond being a legacy Bitcoin fork?
📈 A major buying surge could help BCH retake its position—but for now, momentum is with XLM.
📌 Final Take:
Stellar’s consistent progress, real-world utility, and new institutional support signal a long-term climb.
👀 All eyes now on whether XLM can crack the top 10... and whether BCH can keep up.
