XLM rallied after US financial giant DTCC announced a partnership with the Stellar Network, but it still risks a sharp downside in the coming weeks.

The U.S. market infrastructure giant targets connecting tokenized stocks, ETFs and Treasuries to Stellar in the first half of 2027.

XRP plunges to a low of $1.26 amid a broader crypto market rout, while XLM bucks the trend with a 22% surge on major DTCC partnership news.
