XLM fell over the day, and its own move was weaker than the broader market. The one news item that carried weight was the Mercado Bitcoin hack, after which Stellar proposed freezing the account the attacker used, alongside an exchange outage that came as the coin dropped. The rest were mostly market overviews and technical fixes that have little effect on price.
Each line is one story of the day, left to right in time. The line’s height shows how far the coin’s price moved in the 4 hours after the story, net of the market: up – a rise, down – a fall. A lime band marks an hour with a sharp spike or drop.

Stellar proposes freezing account used in Mercado Bitcoin exploit
An official Stellar protocol proposal (SLP-0008) describes freezing an account on the Stellar network that, according to the proposal title, was used in an exploit against Mercado Bitcoin. The source text contains only the title and technical lines, so details of the attack, the amount and the outcome are unknown. For the coin, this is news about measures to block stolen funds, not about a change to the network technology itself.

Stellar: nested delegate typing fixed in Soroban signatures (CAP-0090)
The developers of proposal CAP-0090 changed the type of nested delegates in the Soroban signature structure from version 1 to version 2. Before this, delegates below the first level could not carry the customPayload field described in the semantics section. This is a technical fix that makes the structure match the document's description.
Ripple and Stellar outlook: XRP and XLM slide as bearish sentiment grows
FXStreet analysts write that the prices of XRP and XLM are falling, and that more bearish, meaning negative, indicators are appearing in the market. Only the headline is available, so the details and reasons for the drop are unknown. The news describes the decline and trader mood, but gives no new facts about the Stellar network itself.
Why XLM's bearish bias persists despite Stellar's recent positive updates
Analysts say a healthy market pullback may be the start of a bearish trend for Stellar. Open Interest (the total of open futures positions) barely moved, which points to weak speculative interest, even though the project has had recent positive updates. For the coin this is mainly a negative tone about market sentiment, not a price forecast.

How the daily recap works
The day page collects everything the bot recorded for the UTC day: every story with the time of first publication, sources and the price reaction after 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours, without the market move. Spikes and drops are marked separately – with the news published three hours before them and three hours after. The recap text is written by the AI Claude from this data, and code checks every number.
We record a match and leave the conclusions about the cause to you. The formulas and thresholds are in the methodology. Market news for this day is on the market day page.
A free experiment. The bot is learning and improves based on your feedback, so it can make mistakes. It helps you spot a serious story or problem in time; the decision and the risk are yours. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
