bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that BVNK has integrated Stellar for cross-border payments across more than 130 global business markets. Additionally, USDT0 now operates on Stellar, allowing firms to move dollars without holding or using XLM directly. U.S. Bank is also piloting its USBDC stablecoin on Stellar for transfers from North America to Europe.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XLM, measured when this story was written up on 27 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XLM is trading at $0.2165 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 46.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 48.9%, both falling below the 24-hour ratio of 49.0%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term relative to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is -$71,191 and the 4-hour delta is -$62,642, showing that sellers are currently outweighing buyers in recent short windows. Over the last 24 hours, the volume delta stands at -$303,296 with a CVD of -$96,456, confirming net selling activity despite a 24-hour spot volume of $14,789,143 across 68,982 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.1% sits at the 31st percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 50.7% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XLM, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 50.6%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 49.0% lower by 1.6 percentage points. Weekly volume was 0.42x the average, indicating significantly reduced trading activity compared to the recent norm. While the price rose 10.3% over eight days with a total volume delta of +$2,357,808, today’s negative delta suggests a reversal from that broader trend. Net buying occurred on only 4 of the past 7 days, marking this as an unusual day of net outflow compared to the weekly positive accumulation.
