Stellar Partners with Chainlink to Drive DeFi App Innovation: Can XLM Soar?

Jakarta, Pintu News – The Stellar Development Foundation, which oversees the development of Stellar (XLM), has officially established a partnership with Chainlink (LINK) through the innovative SCALE program.

The collaboration aims to strengthen Stellar’s Layer-1 network by utilizing Chainlink’s data streams, data feeds, and cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP).

With this integration, developers can access off-chain secured databases and perform seamless cross-chain transfers – unlocking huge potential for the development of more complex, cross-ecosystem connected decentralized applications (dApps).

Chainlink Opens New RWA Feature for Stellar

Stellar Lumens is making a comeback in the Real World Asset (RWA) sector after the veteran network entered the $24 billion RWA market through a partnership with Archax. Last summer, the Stellar Development Foundation made a strategic investment in the UK-based crypto custodian company, which focuses on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).

With this sector continuing to grow rapidly, the new partnership with Chainlink (LINK) gives developers in the Stellar ecosystem the advantage of production-ready infrastructure.

“Once this integration is complete, Stellar will be one step closer to a unified on-chain financial system, where real-world assets and DeFi can co-exist seamlessly,”
said Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer at Stellar Development Foundation.

Some of the key features of this integration include programmable token transfers, support for cross-chain programming, and customizable token pool contracts.

Chainlink, through its Decentralized Oracle Network (DON), provides Oracle-based high-level security, currently securing over $100 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) in the DeFi sector – making it a reliable foundation for interoperability and expansion of real-world assets on the Stellar network.

Will Stellar’s RWA Deal Accelerate XLM’s Price Rise?

Despite managing to return to the $0.30 level, Stellar Lumens’ performance still fell short of market expectations during the “Uptober” period, with a 23.20% drop from its peak.

However, with annualized returns still at 230%, many market analysts expect XLM to score one more strong rebound in the fourth quarter of 2025. The initial target is $0.37, before heading towards the main cycle target of $0.50.

XLM briefly hit a high of $0.50 on July 17, 2025 and has since been moving in a descending triangle pattern. But now, the 4-hour chart shows a bullish setup, with the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) turning positive, and a buy signal appearing on the Parabolic Stop & Reverse (SAR) indicator.

Despite XLM’s optimistic technical structure and the integration of oracle-based Chainlink already underway, XLM’s 24-hour trading volume remains stagnant at around $183 million. However, after bouncing off the $0.29 level three times – on October 11, 17, and 31, respectively – XLM seems to have formed a strong price foundation in that area.

Analysts predict that trading volumes could increase in November, driven by SWIFT’s ISO 20022 global financial messaging system update. As a network that is inherently compatible with this standard, Stellar along with Ripple (XRP) are also taking part in the instant cross-border payment system trial scheduled to take place in Q4 2025.

With the combination of strong technical sentiment, strategic RWA partnerships, and macro momentum from the SWIFT initiative, XLM could potentially enter a price acceleration phase in the near future.
