Summary

Stellar (XLM) is a payments-focused blockchain co-founded by Jed McCaleb in 2014, ranked #22 by market cap (~$5.4B). The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is a non-profit with active institutional adoption including Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund ($1.98B AUM) and MoneyGram integration. No regulatory enforcement actions exist. Key risks include McCaleb's prior associations (Mt. Gox, eDonkey), SDF centralization (~30B XLM retained), a 35-day undetected Soroban Protocol 23 bug in October 2025, and third-party wallet/phishing incidents.
