Is It a Double-Edged Sword for XLM?
-
If the majority of Stellar's utility is driven by USDC and transaction fees remain exceptionally low, what factors truly contribute to the rise in XLM's price? Is there a connection between institutional adoption and token value, or is the network too efficient?

While USDC is a heavy hitter on Stellar, XLM’s value isn’t about fee-skimming—it’s about network security and utility. Prominent companies such as MoneyGram require XLM to maintain operational reserves essential for their payment infrastructures. This efficiency promotes real-world use, ensuring that as the ecosystem expands, the demand for its native asset increases.
