The post Stellar Slides Late as Volatility Returns Despite Institutional Milestone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stellar Lumens (XLM) experienced pronounced volatility during the 23-hour trading session ending Oct. 16, moving within a 5% range between $0.32 and $0.33. After early weakness, institutional buying helped the token rebound toward midday, with volumes signaling renewed corporate participation. The momentum faded late in the session, as XLM fell from $0.33 to just under $0.32 in the final hour of trading, erasing earlier gains. The decline marked a key break below established support levels, highlighting the market’s sensitivity to shifting liquidity conditions. Institutionally, Stellar’s ecosystem advanced as WisdomTree launched Europe’s first physically backed Stellar Lumens ETP, trading across Swiss SIX and Euronext exchanges. The move enhances regulated exposure to XLM, underscoring growing institutional interest despite near-term volatility. Meanwhile, competitive pressures are mounting in the digital payments space. New entrants like Digitap are leveraging streamlined compliance models to challenge incumbents such as Stellar and Ripple, reshaping the enterprise blockchain payments landscape.
