Grayscale Filing Boosts Stellar Lumens (XLM) Price by 58%

Stellar Lumens (XLM) surged by 58% this week, reaching $0.53—its highest price since 2021. This sharp increase follows a 10-K filing from Grayscale Investments for its Stellar Lumens Trust. The filing, submitted on November 23, detailed a 10% growth in the trust’s net assets over the last fiscal year.

A 10-K filing provides detailed financial information and risk factors for publicly traded companies. The positive sentiment surrounding the filing likely fueled the strong market response for XLM.

“Stellar recently broke and closed above a key weekly horizontal resistance. Retesting the broken structure, the price broke a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern on a 4H time frame. It indicates a strong bullish potential and a highly probable coming-up movement. I expect a growth at least to 0.6 level,” popular crypto enthusiast Andrew Griffiths wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Ripple Stablecoin Approval Expected by December 4

Ripple is preparing to launch its regulated stablecoin, RLUSD, pending approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). As BeInCrypto reported, the stablecoin will likely debut on December 4 , marking Ripple’s entrance into New York’s regulated digital finance market.

This move puts Ripple in direct competition with stablecoin issuers like Circle and Paxos. Partnerships with platforms such as Bitstamp and Moonpay aim to ensure broad accessibility for RLUSD users.

Meanwhile, Ripple’s XRP token surpassed BNB in market cap , crossing the $100 billion mark for the first time in three years. XRP’s value has risen over 230% this month amid growing investor optimism.
