最新报道:According to Bijie.com, in August 2025, Stellar (XLM), one of the earliest blockchain platforms focused on cross-border payments and financial inclusion, set several records. What are these records, and what do they mean for XLM's price? This article will analyze these records in detail. 1. Stellar's Total Value Locked (TVL) reached a new all-time high. The first record is Stellar's total value locked (TVL), which reached a new all-time high of $152.11 million. Data from DeFiLlama shows that Stellar's TVL soared from $84 million in July to over $150 million in August, an increase of over 80%. This growth was primarily driven by protocols such as Blend, Stellar DEX, and Aquarius Stellar. Blend is a modular liquidity protocol that allows anyone to create flexible lending and borrowing markets. Stellar DEX and Aquarius Stellar are emerging decentralized exchanges on the Stellar network, attracting new capital inflows. While this figure is still modest compared to DeFi protocols with multi-billion dollar TVL, it represents impressive growth. It reflects the growing interest in the Stellar ecosystem within the DeFi space. 2. XLM Accounts Reach a New All-Time High. The second record saw the number of XLM accounts reach a new peak of over 9.69 million. Data from Stellar Expert shows that the network has expanded significantly. Despite significant market fluctuations since 2016, Stellar continues to demonstrate widespread adoption. Additional data from Artemis indicates that approximately 5,000–6,000 new addresses are created daily, adding to the growing account base. A recent report from BeInCrypto noted that XLM has a strong correlation with XRP. The two altcoins have considerable overlap in their investor bases. Therefore, XRP's boom in 2025 also helped attract new users to XLM. This record is crucial to Stellar's mission. It demonstrates that the platform is on track to democratize finance, with millions of new users joining to transfer funds, store value, or participate in DeFi. However, the rapid growth of accounts poses challenges for the network to improve scalability to avoid congestion, especially amidst surging transaction volume. 3. XLM on exchanges reached a new all-time high in August. Not all records are positive. The third record is the all-time high in the amount of XLM on exchanges, with over 1.03 billion XLM available for sale. Binance's Proof of Reserves report publicly disclosed its XLM wallet address as "GBAI...GPA." According to Stellar Expert data, the balance in this address surged from 2024 to 2025, peaking at 1,033,411,975 XLM in July-August 2025. This record serves as a warning. A large supply of XLM on exchanges can trigger sell-offs, especially during market volatility or negative news. In such situations, Stellar's Protocol 23 upgrade plays a crucial role. According to an announcement on X, the timeline includes a testnet reset on August 14 and a mainnet upgrade vote on September 3. Protocol 23 is expected to bring significant performance improvements, lower costs, and expand the functionality of the Stellar blockchain.
