XLM
Updated
What it is
XLM, the lumen, is the native asset of the Stellar network, a public blockchain built for payments and issuing digital assets. Lumens pay network fees and account minimums. After a 2019 burn of about 55.4 billion lumens, total supply is about 50 billion.
Why it matters lately
Stellar has become a home for tokenized real-world assets: they passed $3 billion on the network in Q2 2026, and Circle's cross-chain USDC transfer protocol went live on Stellar on May 19, 2026. On May 27, 2026 DTCC and the Stellar Development Foundation said DTC-tokenized securities are expected on Stellar in the first half of 2027.
Asymmetric Analytics view
Inference (AA): It is the asset tied to Stellar, a payment and tokenization network the graph tracks alongside the XRP Ledger.
