A major traditional finance infrastructure provider has set its sights on the 
Stellar blockchain, and market watchers say the timing could not be more 
significant. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, better known as 
the DTCC, announced plans to connect its tokenization platform to the Stellar 
network as part of a broader multi-chain strategy. The move is aimed at 
supporting tokenized representations of assets held within the traditional 
financial system. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Prolonged Downtrend Through

candle now visible at what analyst MikybullCrypto labels point E on a long- 
term chart structure he has been tracking across several market cycles. The 
chart maps a series of repeating highs and lows on the monthly timeframe 
dating back to 2017. Points B and D mark previous peaks near a horizontal

— MikybullCrypto (@MikybullCrypto) May 31, 2026 Point E marks the latest 
successful test of that same support line. XLM has bounced from the trendline 
once again, staying within the broader structure that has defined its behavior 
across multiple cycles. The Setup Behind The Call MikybullCrypto, a widely 
followed crypto analyst, says the current positioning mirrors conditions that 
preceded strong rallies in the past. He is calling for a bull market target 
range of $5 to $11 for XLM, projecting that the upcoming altcoin season will 
be significant. The analyst expects a breakout above the long-standing 
resistance zone to serve as the next major technical milestone. A move above 
that level, according to his chart, would put XLM on a path toward 
substantially higher ground. What The Pattern Suggests The structure 
MikybullCrypto references has repeated itself across different market 
environments over roughly nine years. Each time XLM has tested the rising 
support line, a recovery followed — though the magnitude has varied. Bullish 
sentiment around XLM has been building in recent weeks. Reports indicate that 
separate analysts have pointed to the DTCC integration alongside the technical 
setup as factors strengthening the case for a larger move ahead. Related

XRP Price Slips Back Into Danger Territory With Bears In Control

On-chain data shows exchanges recently received the largest XRP deposit wave 
of 2026, before withdrawals completely flipped the trend. XRP Has Seen Massive 
Outflows That Reversed The Earlier Deposits As pointed out by on-chain 
analytics firm Santiment in an X post, exchange-activity related to XRP has 
occurred on a notable scale in both directions recently. The indicator of 
interest here is the &#8220;Exchange Flow Balance,&#8221; which measures the net amount of 
a given asset that&#8217;s moving into or out of the wallets connected to 
centralized exchanges. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Falls, But Whales Push 
Holdings To 10-Week High When the value of the indicator is positive, it means 
traders are depositing a net number of tokens to these platforms. As one of 
the main reasons why investors their transfer their coins to exchanges is for 
selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can be bearish for the 
cryptocurrency. On the other hand, the metric being below the zero mark 
suggests the outflows are overwhelming the inflows and a net amount of the 
asset is exiting exchange-associated addresses. Such a trend can be a sign 
that holders are accumulating, which can naturally have a bullish effect on 
the coin. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in 
the XRP Exchange Flow Balance over the last few months: As displayed in the 
above graph, the XRP Exchange Flow Balance observed a huge positive spike on 
Thursday, suggesting that a notable amount of the asset entered into 
exchanges. Interestingly, this move from traders arrived as the cryptocurrency 
slumped to a local bottom around $1.27. In total, the spike in the Exchange 
Flow Balance observed 22.80 million tokens shift to exchanges, representing 
the largest daily net inflow of 2026. Given the timing, it&#8217;s possible that 
investors made these deposits to participate in panic selling as the coin&#8217;s 
price went down. Contrary to what these traders may have feared, though, the 
cryptocurrency&#8217;s price actually saw a rebound after the inflows. The analytics 
firm noted: The massive flow of coins moving on to exchanges occurred right at 
the local bottom for $XRP’s price, leaving many retail traders who decided to 
sell off at the lowest price in 15 weeks… wishing they hadn’t. Related

From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that as the rebound started, other investors, or 
some of the same traders, decided to take XRP supply off exchanges instead. 
This negative spike, involving the withdrawal of 25.24 million tokens, more 
than made up for the massive inflows, thus reversing the trend in the exchange 
supply. XRP Price XRP breached the $1.36 mark during its recovery surge, but 
the coin has since retraced again as its price is now trading around $1.30.
