Stellar (XLM) is currently trading near $0.17, but crypto analyst Celal Kucuker argues that a strong bullish phase across the broader market could carry the token dramatically higher—especially if XRP reaches the $6 level. Kucuker described XLM as having “one of the best charts in the market,” and his long-term projection ties Stellar’s potential upside closely to XRP’s performance.
According to Kucuker, if XRP reaches $6, XLM could break above $1.50. In a more aggressive bull-market scenario, he sees a move toward $5 as possible. While those targets are far above current levels, he frames them as scenarios based on capital rotation and the historical relationship between XRP and XLM, two payment-focused networks with shared roots through Stellar co-founder Jed McCaleb.
The required moves are substantial. From $0.17, XLM would need to rise roughly 782% to hit $1.50, or about nine times its current price. Reaching $5 would require an increase of approximately 2,840%, or nearly 30x. This makes $1.50 the more relevant first target, and Kucuker’s monthly chart shows a long-term descending resistance line and an ascending support line that have compressed XLM’s price into a multi-year tightening structure since around 2018.
His blue projection anticipates a rebound from the lower part of that structure, followed by a breakout through descending resistance. The first major destination is around $1.43, consistent with the $1.50 target, while a later consolidation and breakout projects toward approximately $5.41. Still, Kucuker’s targets remain dependent on XLM finally overcoming resistance that has halted previous rallies; a move back toward the $0.40–$0.60 region would be an important test of a larger trend reversal.
Beyond the technical setup, Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset market has been expanding. Ecosystem data cited in the report shows the value of tokenized RWAs on Stellar approached $4 billion by August 29, an increase of roughly 360% since the end of 2025. Spiko reportedly accounts for about $1.55 billion of that total, while Franklin Templeton and Ondo are also part of Stellar’s growing RWA ecosystem. Recent developments include RedStone deploying price feeds for several Centrifuge tokenized assets and tokenized agricultural credit being built on the network. This activity does not guarantee equivalent demand for XLM, but it strengthens the fundamental case for Stellar as blockchain infrastructure.
