Stellar Surges 5% As Altcoin Momentum Builds, Breaks From XRP

Stellar posted a 5% gain, surpassing XRP's growth and attracting investor attention across the altcoin market.

XLM showed signs of range breakout potential as it neared its 50-day moving average at $0.26.

XRP remains stable despite significant ecosystem moves, including Ripple's banking license application and on-chain asset expansion.

Stellar (XLM) recorded a 5% gain in the past 24 hours, rising to $0.25 and drawing notable attention from market participants. The increase in price pushed Stellar ahead of XRP, which posted a modest 0.59% uptick to $2.28 during the same timeframe.

On the other hand, XRP has only maintained its stand above $2.20 despite an array of ecosystem updates. Mercado Bitcoin has already pledged more than 200 million in real-world benefits on the XRP Ledger, and Ripple is already seeking a national banking charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This progress will affect the long-term
