XLM PRICE JUST EXPOSED, MAJOR BOMBSHELL (10X LEAK?!)

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]XLM just exploded at $220 on Upbit. What the heck happened here?

[00:00:06]We also get a grand look at the plan with Stellar and the DTCC as the CEO of the Stellar Development Foundation jumps on crypto in America and says that we're going to disrupt everything. You guys need to hear what this plan is going to be. I got it all for you here. We're also going to discuss XRP 2 and how it fits into all of this. So, let's have a little bit of fun here and understand, do we need to move our XLM to Upbit?

[00:00:31]What is going on here? Here's the full scoop and story. The screenshot is showing a massive one candle wick on Stellar on the Korean exchange up where the price briefly spiked to $2.20 before returning to the prior range. The giant XLM wick on up is almost certainly a micro structure issue on that venue.

[00:00:52]Liquidity and mechanics, not some fundamental oneoff about token supply.

[00:00:57]The core ingredients of why this happened are as follows. Local liquidity plus trap capital. After up its late 2025 hacked, it moved 99% of customer funds into cold storage. And when liquidity is constrained on exchange and they explicitly warned that some altcoins can even double or triple in price relative to the global market because of arbitrage is hard or impossible. very strong XLM specific demand right now. XLM volume on uppit has exploded off the back of the DTCC and stellar tokenization news with 24hour volume there running into the hundreds of millions or even surpassing XRP at some points. We did see XLM being the number one traded asset there on Upit and I would imagine as more news comes out as people learn about XLM and get more bullish you will see a lot more demand there. And of course, we do talk about uh thin fragmented cell walls.

[00:01:51]This is what could cause any crypto asset to explode in price because there might not be enough in the order book there. If most resting asks are, let's say, between 30 cents and $2.20 20 cents and they have already been chewed through by momentum buying or are sitting only in tiny size. A single large market buy or a cluster of market buys will walk the book straight up to the next real liquidity pocket leaving a vertical wick. Of course, limited arbitrage and back pressure when deposits and withdrawals are periodically suspended for seller upgrades or security procedures. traders outside up can't instantly send into XLM to sell into the overextension and close the gap versus global price. So the spike can overshoot hard before the internal sellers step in. So I think this is just an issue that uh you know a bit did make some security changes after they had issues last year in 2025. uh the the the book there was extremely thin and it wasn't prepared for the demand that was coming in for XLM and that's why you saw this one wick up. Now will this happen in the future? Anything is possible in the crypto space? I would imagine now that they understand that there might be a lot more demand for seller. They'll probably have more liquidity there in the order book as well as you know people might say hey maybe I'll move some XLM to to up it just in case uh this does happen. But this really asked the question like what happens if you get a sudden rush in billions of dollars in demand for any crypto asset. This is like the Shane Ellis theory in the XRP space where a lot of money coming in at once could send you know the token price to 20 30 $50 $100 if there's enough uh upward demand and not enough selling. And so uh this person says a similar move on X would place us at $20. So they're commenting on the XLM just wicked to 220 on Upit. Uh I I don't know if people actually got to sell at $2.20. It's it's a possible it's possibility, but this was very brief from what I understand.

[00:03:52]Still holding this range. Net inflows of XLM have flipped back to green at 3 3 million 3.43 million on the day. So you did have uh after it doubled in price, you did have some heavy profit taking here and now we're kind of building back up. It looks like there's a lot of chart analysts that think it could go back below 20 cents and there's a lot of people that believe it's got about to run really hard. Uh, you know, I I I I don't ever pay attention to the day-to-day price. Obviously, if I feel it's an opportunity to get in before the public does, I'll do that. I was buying Stellar at 14 cents on Tuesday, you know, and then the thing was announced on Wednesday. We did talk about it, right? I was buying Stellar on the live stream. I told you I was buying Stellar that day and it was just really good timing. I loaded up on Stellar right before the move and then right as the news happened since I was like on X I was buying at 15 cents and 16 cents and you know you know it's just if you're connected to the news and you have access to this stuff you can see and make moves in real time and I was talking to the community. I was telling to you guys about this. This is why you need to subscribe uh and turn the bell notification on because I'm going to put out videos as this stuff is happening.

[00:04:56]If you don't want to miss the next opportunity, make sure that you have that turned on. People are raving about Uphold's latest technology, allowing you to do even more with your crypto. Nancy beaten highlights the Exa credit card, allowing you to take out loans against your crypto without having to sell.

[00:05:15]Widely and vitally important in case you need some extra spending cash and you don't want to exit your position. So, with our new instant credit feature, our users can use their crypto as collateral to get access to a Visa Signature card.

[00:05:32]What this allows them to do is unlock the value of that crypto without having to sell that crypto and use it in everyday spending. The best thing is there are no credit checks. Your crypto is the collateral. You can access the value of that and start spending it every day.

[00:05:50]>> That is truly amazing. I know that people come up to me all the time saying, "Sensei, where's a good place to be able to borrow against my crypto?"

[00:05:57]Now, one of the most favorite exchanges in the XRP space allows you to do that with Bitcoin, ETH, USDC, and they're trying to add even more. All right, so take a look at this from Chart Nerd.

[00:06:07]We're going to disrupt everything. The CEO of Stellar, Denell Dixon, joins Crypto in America. Listen closely.

[00:06:14]>> How should people actually be thinking about this? And is there anything that didn't really make the story, quote unquote, uh, that you want to highlight here? Well, I mean, from our standpoint, DTCC is going to explain why they've made decisions around the networks that they're building on, and there will be others to follow, uh, for sure. But I think >> there will be others to follow for sure, which means I believe they're going to announce something around XRP. I'd imagine they'll probably announce stuff around Ethereum, maybe even Salana and a few other networks that are going to be pre-approved to operate uh, in the DTCC systems. The thing that is most exciting to me, and this is the the reason why I look at Stellar as being such strong financial software, is that having compliance at the base layer, being able to, you know, one of the things when I first came into crypto and and what I saw in the market was we're going to disrupt everything on the financial services side and we're going to take all of that infrastructure and make it go away and we're going to replace it with this new infrastructure. I always felt like there was this need for this interoperability because we even at that time and even when we came out and we talked about money being an on and off ramp for us and why that was so important. It was important because you can use this infrastructure once you're there, but getting on the infrastructure, you need to get there.

[00:07:25]So, you need the on-ramps, right? So, you need that combination with traditional financial infrastructure and that interoperability to really make this work. And I think the biggest signal to me is that having that compliance at the base layer, allowing institutions to be able to choose which things work for them as they issue these assets. thinking about compliance and thinking about the regulatory environment as you're building the software. That's how we always did it.

[00:07:50]One of the things that I used to say is that we let the perfect be the enemy of the good all the time at Stellar in the early days. We built for institutions when institutions weren't there. And so, yeah, it's taken time for us to get there. But all of those things and and those even like when I think about privacy and how you need to think about institutional privacy and allowing them to have choices around it, all of those things are part of this story even though they've happened, you know, seven years ago or 14 years ago if you think about the early days of when Stellar came to play. So, I think it's um there's so much to this and it's a true signal about the value of the tech stack, but it's also a true signal of what's been happening in our industry for a really long time that we've been building these things and now it's finally coming to fruition that that folks see the value.

[00:08:37]>> All right, Denell Dixon said something really important there. She's talking about compliance at the base layer. If you're not familiar with compliance, this is what is Denell Dixon talked about something very important there. She talked about compliance and I know you and I are thinking sensei who cares about compliance. Well, financial institutions do and they need this baked in so they can build at scale. Listen closely. A compliant base layer on stellar matters because it lets banks and financial institutions plug into a public chain without bolting on a Frankenstein stack of external controls. They can also meet KYC AML audit and messaging standards by design rather than a workaround. Know your customer and anti-moneyaundering.

[00:09:19]Why compliant at the base layer matters for financial institutions. Regulation is not optional. It is existential.

[00:09:27]Stellar bakes a lot of that into the protocol and ecosystem standards. Native asset controls, authorization flags, clawbacks, transactions approval, standardized AML and KYC data sharing and compliance workflows are part of the core institutional offering. That means banks and issue stable coins or tokenized assets manage whitelist or blacklist and enforce jurisdictional rules directly on chain instead of relying entirely on off-chain databases.

[00:09:54]So, it's already there, everything that they need to be successful. Because the ledger is open by default, regulators and auditors can verify flows and behavior at any time while still allowing privacy tools on upper layers when needed. This balance of transparent base layer plus configurable privacy is exactly what regulators expect.

[00:10:15]Traceability and first then selective confidentiality. So all of these things is what helps uh empower XLM to have financial institutions come and build because they need all of these things to you know stay compliant. And then DTCC has filed patents for a modular bridge that uses public blockchains and move assets through a multi-chain strategy.

[00:10:36]More details coming. The depository trust and clarity corporation filed and published patents outlining a cross-ledger liquidity framework that explicitly identifies both XRP and XLM as compatible digital liquidity tokens.

[00:10:50]Those patents describe how the feature and financial system could bridge value between traditional finance and distributed ledgers. So, this is how we know something is coming down the lines for the XRP ledger. Uh, and of course, I did want to see if this was like brand new or this was old news. Uh this was back in 2024 2025. So I just want to let you guys know that. All right. Now let me show you this here. thing that is most exciting to me and this is the the reason why I look at Stellar as being such strong financial software is that having compliance at the base layer being able to you know one of the things when I first came into crypto and and what I saw in the market was we're going to disrupt everything on the financial services side and we're going to take all of that infrastructure and make it go away and we're going to replace it with this new infrastructure. I always felt like there was this need for this interoperability because we even at that time and even when we came out and we talked about money being an on and off ramp for us and why that was so important it was important because you can use this infrastructure once you're there but getting on the infrastructure you need to get there so you need the on-ramps right so you need that combination >> all right that was great little comment there Verson Black Swan Capital says DTCC isn't choosing sides it's building a multi-chain future stellar XLM for broad public tokenization, Ripple XRP for regulated high volume institutional flows. Today's news is a validation. And so he's commenting on his post back here in 2024. Asset digitization, peer-to-peer payment app, sharing economy, and decentralized exchange. All right, now let me show you this. Yes, Stellar plugs directly into Swift's traditional banking rails. Stellar's anchors directory includes ZM and blind pay as swift connectivity through XLM and USC across Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and the United States. Stellar is in fact like Ripple and XRP. Uh you can move value pretty much in and out of all of these maybe exotic places um you know more exotic corridors. Sometimes not all banks operate between let's say the US and Brazil or the US and Argentina. And when you can use Stellar to move that money instantaneously to like very little cost, this is going to allow you know a level playing field and uh money to move seamlessly and freely. And of course when you take a look in order of XLM to match XRP you would only need a 10x from 25 cents range. So if XLM got to the same market cap is XRP you'd be looking at a $2.50 stellar price. Of course, the uh heading into June leading up to the launch day of the DTCC, this could easily be anywhere between today's price and that target. This is just retail speculation phase of XLM. The actual utility phase of XLM is actually coming.

[00:13:31]So, a lot of really great features here, guys. Make sure you're supporting the content at home. I hope this was valuable to you. Thank you so much for your time and uh aloha.
