Stellar (XLM) is experiencing a surge in trading activity in the last 24 hours, with volume up by more than 303%. Trading volume for XLM is up 303% in the last 24 hours to $873 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
This is noteworthy as most major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, saw a drop in volume over the last 24 hours, falling 20% and 15% respectively. Dogecoin's trading volume fell by nearly 26% in the same timeframe. Stellar's 303% volume surge while its price fell, however, remains an outlier.

The main trigger behind the volume increase is not evident, but some factors might have contributed. Stellar's third major protocol upgrade has taken place so far in 2026, with a corresponding rise in trader activity.

The upgrade introduces authentication delegation for custom accounts (CAP-0071-01), which adds a first-class protocol mechanism for custom (smart contract) accounts to delegate their authentication logic to other addresses. It also introduces two new host functions and a new credential type. These are, however, additive changes, with existing contracts and credential types remaining valid.
A new credential type introduced by the upgrade allows all delegated signers and their (potentially nested) signatures to be bundled into a single authorization entry. This eliminates the need for a separate authorization entry per delegated signer, reducing transaction size and simplifying simulation.
Address-bound Soroban address credentials (CAP-0071-02) included in the upgrade introduce a new credential type that uses the same signature payload introduced in CAP-0071-01.
