Veteran trader Peter Brandt calls Stellar (XLM) a speculative bet for the next few years. His comment comes as the token is rising, while new technical signals and more institutional activity are drawing more attention to the network.
Brandt Looks at the Chart
Brandt, who has more than 1.3 million followers on X, said Stellar fits his idea of a long-shot bet. By that, he means a position with uncertain odds, but with potentially big upside if it works out. He stressed that he does not need to understand an asset first in order to trade it. For him, the price is what matters most.
The trader tied his comment to chart analysis rather than a firm prediction. That fits his reputation as a classic technical analyst who has spent decades studying price patterns across multiple markets. According to BeInCrypto, XLM was trading around $0.2309 (€0.20).
The token rose about 11% in 24 hours. Over the past month, it added another roughly 28%. That means Stellar is continuing to recover from earlier lower levels.
More Attention for Stellar
Other chart watchers also see room for more gains. Dark Defender shared a new chart on September 28 and pointed to extra upside potential, after an earlier analysis in mid-September.
At the same time, the network is getting more real-world use. On September 22, Mastercard subsidiary BVNK integrated the Stellar network into its stablecoin payments platform. That gives business customers access to Stellar's fast and low-cost rails through a single API. Those rails are now used in more than 130 markets for cross-border payments, payouts, remittances, and treasury transfers.
Why This Matters for Europe
For European crypto followers, the key point is that Stellar is increasingly positioning itself as infrastructure for payments and tokenization. That fits the broader shift where institutional players are not only watching price moves, but also looking at real use cases on-chain. The mix of technical interest and business adoption makes XLM more visible to a wider group of market watchers.
