XLM's potential to reach $1 in 2026 depends on various factors, including a strong crypto bull market and increased adoption of Stellar's payment-focused blockchain network.
With a current price of around $0.23, XLM would need to rise by approximately 4.3 times to hit the $1 mark, implying a circulating market cap of about $33.7 billion and a fully diluted valuation near $50 billion.
A strong bull market, growing adoption of stablecoins and tokenised assets, and renewed interest in payment-focused crypto assets could support XLM's demand and potentially drive its price towards the $1 target.
