Stellar (XLM) added Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams to its mainnet on October 14, opening access to a 3.54 billion USD tokenized real-world asset ecosystem, according to U.Today. The Stellar price is 0.18493 USD as of October 16, 2026, up 2.84 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 15, 2026, according to Investing.com.
The integration brings oracle infrastructure to Stellar. Oracles supply external market data to smart contracts, and U.Today reported that the Stellar Development Foundation is covering the operating costs under Chainlink's Scale program. The source said the data feeds and streams add capabilities for lending, trading, stablecoins and tokenized equities on Stellar. These functions expand the network's potential use in financial applications without establishing a direct link to the XLM price.

The tokenized assets cited by U.Today include regulated products tied to government debt, money-market funds and other financial instruments. The article said the integration makes real-time data available to Soroban smart contracts, Stellar's smart-contract platform, for collateral calculations and liquidations. Stellar's native token XLM is used for network fees and account reserves, while the applications themselves can represent other assets.
