Stellar pitches onchain FX rail as Q2 volume hits $2.78 billion

  • —Onchain trading volume on Stellar reached $2.78 billion in Q2 2026
  • —The network supports 17 stablecoins and more than nine fiat currencies
  • —Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund held $605 million on Stellar as of Oct. 6
  • —Aquarius has processed over $780 million in cumulative volume on the network
Why it matters: Stellar is intensifying competition for institutional payment flows and onchain FX, which could support demand for XLM and stablecoins on the network.
