Stellar (XLM) had Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams go live on October 14, 2026, bringing market-data infrastructure to a more than 4 billion USD tokenized real-world asset ecosystem, according to Stellar. The Stellar price is 0.17804 USD as of October 20, 2026, down 1.04 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 19, 2026, while market capitalization is 6.27 billion USD, according to Investing.com.
Chainlink feeds went live on October 14, 2026
The Stellar Development Foundation said on October 14, 2026, that Chainlink's Data Feeds and Data Streams were available on Stellar mainnet. Data Feeds provide regularly updated reference prices to smart contracts, while Data Streams are designed for lower-latency data when a contract needs a market value during an action, according to Stellar.
The official announcement listed lending markets, prediction markets, perpetual futures, automated liquidations and stablecoin reference rates as potential applications. It also quoted Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid, who said the infrastructure supplies market data for lending markets, stablecoins and tokenized assets. The statement describes a development capability rather than a reported change in XLM demand.
12 million transactions marked October 11 activity
Stellar processed 12 million transactions on October 11, 2026, at an average rate of 139.15 transactions per second, while the average transaction fee fell to 0.00012 USD, according to Coinotag, citing Chainspect data. The report described the figures as the network's busiest and cheapest day of the preceding seven-day period.
Coinotag also said the activity came after Stellar's Protocol 28 Adapter upgrade was activated. The report cautioned that one weekend of transaction and fee data does not settle whether the upgrade delivered a lasting performance change, leaving the October 11, 2026 readings as a dated network snapshot rather than a longer-term measure.
