$XLM hit $0.464 today, massively outperforming the market +2.72%

Three key drivers:

Regulatory clarity - Ripple-SEC settlement boosts payment crypto confidence

Smart contracts incoming - Protocol 23 launches Sept 3, opening DeFi/RWA potential

Technical momentum - Clean break above $0.45 resistance
