⚙️ Stellar ( $XLM): The RWA & Payments Engine in Motion As the tokenization wave accelerates, Stellar ( $XLM) is quietly securing its foothold as a blockchain for Real-World Assets (RWA) and cross-border payments. Its network processed $32B in payments during 2024, with over $10.6B tied to RWAs, numbers that rival many newer L1s. Stellar’s partnerships paint a clear picture: Visa for stablecoin payments, MoneyGram for crypto-fiat settlements, and Franklin Templeton for asset tokenization. This dual positioning in finance and payments gives Stellar one of the most diversified market plays in the space. Still, the competition is fierce. Projects like $ONDO and $PLUME are building compliance-first RWA ecosystems that could challenge Stellar's dominance. To stay ahead, Stellar must prove Soroban’s scalability and maintain institutional confidence amid growing regulatory scrutiny. $XLM $ONDO $PLUME @EdgenTech
