XLM Price Faces Major Test as Stellar Joins MetaMask

XLM price is testing the top of a downtrend channel that has held since late September. Stellar is now a default network in MetaMask’s mobile app and browser extension. A fresh death cross keeps the broader trend tilted toward sellers. Wallet access on its own does not create on-chain demand for XLM. The XLM price is holding at $0.1727 on Thursday, almost flat on the day, after MetaMask switched on Stellar as a default network across its mobile app and browser extension, a launch announced at the Stellar Development Foundation’s Meridian 2026 conference in Lisbon.
