Stellar (XLM) processed 14.16 million transactions on October 25, 2026, according to U.Today. The Stellar price is 0.17016 USD as of October 26, 2026, down 4.34 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 25, 2026, according to Investing.com.

XLM records 14.16 million transactions

The October 25 figure marks the network's busiest day of the month in the U.Today report. The same report said Stellar reached a peak of 217.4 transactions per second over a 100-block window on September 26, 2026, and identified the October 14, 2026, launch of Chainlink price data feeds as another recent development.

Transaction activity measures ledger operations rather than the number of individual users. Stellar uses a distributed ledger, a shared record of transactions maintained by network participants, to settle transfers and smart-contract operations.

Bell sets November vote dates

The Stellar Development Foundation introduced Bell, also called Protocol 30, on October 20, 2026. According to the Foundation's upgrade guide, the proposal includes three changes: contract addresses that can serve multiple customers, post-quantum signature verification for smart contracts, and millisecond timing in ledger headers.

The Foundation scheduled a testnet validator vote for November 3, 2026, at 1700 UTC and a mainnet validator vote for November 23, 2026, at 1700 UTC. The guide says the dates are subject to change and that the upgrade takes effect if validators approve it. The testnet vote concerns a testing network; the mainnet vote concerns Stellar's primary network.

Chainlink feeds went live on October 14

Chainlink listed XLM/USD and USDT/USD Data Feeds on Stellar on October 16, 2026. Data Feeds supply application-readable market information to smart contracts, while the documentation says Stellar feeds use one proxy contract and a 32-byte data identifier for feed selection.

The dated network activity and the Bell schedule describe separate developments. Bell's proposed address format and ledger-header changes create an integration task for wallets, exchanges and other infrastructure that reads Stellar data, while the Foundation's vote timetable remains conditional on validator approval.
