The main significant news of the day was the hack of the Mercado Bitcoin exchange, from which part of its XLM coins worth a large sum was stolen. Events like this scare market participants, so the coin fell more than the general market weakness alone would explain.
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.

The top Stellar news of the day: first – official ones (the stellar.org blog, network status, stellar-core releases, protocol proposals), then loud partner announcements, then those with the most notable own XLM reaction.
+15 min · +1 h · +4 h · +24 h – how far the coin’s price moved this long after the story was published, net of the whole market, in percentage points. Green – up, red – down, “later” – the window has not closed yet.
Add CAP-0090: Custom signature payload for account contracts (#2050)
A document called CAP-0090 appeared in the official Stellar proposals repository (CAP), describing the ability to pass arbitrary data for signing to an account contract. The story itself contains only the proposal title and request number, so details on rollout timing and network impact are not visible. For the coin this is still a technical step under discussion, not a finished upgrade.

What happened to Stellar: how to read the daily result
This is Stellar's most recent full UTC day, updated each morning; earlier days are archived on the Stellar page. Read the XLM price change first, then the own move: XLM's change minus 1.35 times bitcoin's.
Two neighboring days from the bot's database show well how to read this. On October 30, 2026, Stellar took about 92% of the daily inflow into tokenized funds – XLM +5.36% while bitcoin fell, an own move of +6.52 pp. On October 31 the volume of USDT0 on the Stellar network passed $500 million – and XLM lagged the market by 1.24 pp. Good news about the network does not have to lift the coin's price on the same day.
Why did XLM go up or drop? Where to look
Tokenization. Inflows into tokenized funds on Stellar and new issues like the Securitize plans. Banks. Pilots like the U.S. Bank stablecoin and reports about DTCC. Network. Protocol upgrades: the Protocol 30 vote is in November 2026. Market. If the own move is near zero, it was a bitcoin day.
Stellar and XRP: compare the daily results
Stellar and XRP are relatives: Stellar was created by Jed McCaleb, one of the founders of Ripple, and both networks were made for fast transfers. So it is useful to look at their daily results side by side. If both coins moved away from the market in the same direction, there was most likely news common to payment networks – for example, about regulation or banks. If in different directions, each had its own day. The XRP result is on the What happened to XRP in 24 hours page.
The bot collects posts on X – the @StellarOrg account, Jed McCaleb, foundation head Denelle Dixon – once a day, so they are always in the daily result, even if they were not in the feed during the day.
The AI drafts the day's summary from the bot's data, so check it against the news table. For today, go to XLM price today; the formulas are in the methodology.
