- Stellar’s monthly stablecoin transfer volume climbed from $1.89 billion to $10.35 billion, while transactions increased to 21.7 million.
- Tokenized real-world assets on Stellar reached $4.12 billion, compared with $674 million a year earlier, raising its market share to 12.7%.
- Wallets holding tokenized assets nearly quadrupled to 15,956, while monthly smart contract calls increased from 37 million to 51.8 million.
Stellar adoption has accelerated across stablecoin payments and tokenized assets, with new research documenting substantial growth in financial activity over twelve months.
Stablecoin Transfers Record Strong Annual Growth
ALLINCRYPTO has drawn attention to Allium Labs’ latest research on Stellar’s expanding network activity. The figures show substantial annual increases in stablecoin transfers, transaction counts, and circulating supply. Monthly stablecoin transfer volume reached $10.35 billion, compared with $1.89 billion previously.
That represents growth of approximately 447% within twelve months. Monthly stablecoin transactions also climbed from 7.7 million to 21.7 million. The latest figure represents nearly three times the previous transaction count.
Meanwhile, Stellar’s stablecoin supply increased from $286 million to $546 million. This represents an annual increase of approximately 91%. The figures show that more stablecoin value is circulating across the network.
However, adjusted measurements provide another view of the payment activity. Monthly adjusted transfer volume reached $2.42 billion, up from $1.07 billion. Adjusted transfer counts increased from 4.63 million to 5.7 million.
Tokenized Real-World Assets Expand Their Market Share
The report also records considerable growth in Stellar’s tokenized real-world asset market. Its RWA market capitalization increased from $674 million to $4.12 billion. This represents an increase of approximately 511% over the measured period.
Stellar’s share of tracked tokenized RWAs also moved considerably higher. It increased from 4.9% to 12.7% within one year. That change reflects a larger position within the tracked tokenization market.
Wallet participation followed the same upward direction during the reporting period. Wallets holding tokenized RWAs increased from 4,037 to 15,956. The latest count is almost four times the previous year’s figure.
The value of RWAs held by smart contracts also increased. Those holdings reached $17.38 million, compared with $2.22 million previously. This represents growth of more than sevenfold across twelve months.
Smart Contract Activity Adds Another Adoption Measure
Stellar’s monthly smart contract calls increased from 37 million to 51.8 million. That represents growth of approximately 40% compared with the previous year. The figures provide another measure of activity beyond stablecoin transfers.
Adjusted stablecoin payment volume also recorded an annual increase. Monthly payment volume reached $186 million, compared with $154 million previously. However, this growth was smaller than the increase in headline transfer volume.
The distinction between adjusted and unadjusted figures remains important when assessing network activity. Headline transfer totals can include movements that do not represent separate end-user payments. Allium’s adjusted measurements therefore offer additional context when examining the reported growth.
The numbers combined represent some of the aspects of Stellar’s financial operations. These include payments, smart contracts, wallet participation, payments, and stablecoin circulation. The research is a comparison of September 2026 activity to September 2025 measurements.
XLM’s network expansion does not guarantee matching demand for tokens. Volume of stablecoin transfers and RWA activity can increase without corresponding increases in the volume of native asset purchases. It is still, however, a fact that there is more money going through Stellar’s infrastructure.
These numbers may rise again in the next reporting periods. Research records have shown significant annual growth in a number of network measures for the time being. The main takeaway is that payments and tokenization is a key part of Stellar’s growing footprint.
