Stellar Weekly News; Stellar XLM Struggles to Break Free From XRP Whilst Based Eggman Draws XLM & XRP Whales

The crypto market continues to evolve, with Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) often compared as leaders in cross-border payments. Stellar (XLM) recently implemented its Whisk upgrade (Protocol 23), adding parallel execution and faster transaction speeds. Yet despite strong fundamentals, Stellar (XLM) has struggled to break free from Ripple (XRP)’s shadow in both visibility and price momentum. Against this backdrop, Based Eggman ($GGs) is drawing new attention as whales from both Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) communities shift capital into the presale.

Based Eggman ($GGs): The Presale That’s Turning Heads

While Stellar (XLM) pushes forward with upgrades, the spotlight is shifting toward Based Eggman ($GGs). The project is one of the top crypto presales of 2025, launching with a fixed supply of 389 million tokens priced at just $0.006389. Designed to combine meme culture with Social-Fi and gaming, $GGs offers a scarce asset model compared to multi-trillion-supply meme tokens. Analysts highlight that if Based Eggman ($GGs) climbs toward $1 post-launch, early backers could see returns well beyond 100x.

Whale activity is already evident. Reports of large six-figure buys during the presale suggest that early capital is flowing in with confidence. For Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) holders accustomed to slower, incremental gains, Based Eggman ($GGs) represents an asymmetric play with short-term profit potential and long-term ecosystem growth.

Stellar (XLM) Battles Market Indecision

The Whisk upgrade was expected to act as a major bullish driver for Stellar (XLM). By introducing smart contracts and parallel executions, the upgrade positions the network for more advanced DeFi and tokenization projects. On-chain data also shows growth, with institutional adoption up 39% and real-world asset transactions surpassing $4 billion in Q2 2025.

Yet large XLM holders have been selling. Whale movements drove the Chaikin Money Flow into negative territory, signaling pressure despite the Parabolic SAR flashing “buy.” RSI remains neutral, showing indecision. The $0.35–$0.37 range has become a battleground, with analysts arguing Stellar (XLM) needs a close above $0.37 to target $0.50. Until then, price remains capped.

Ripple (XRP) Still Dominates Liquidity

Ripple (XRP) continues to maintain dominance in liquidity corridors and institutional adoption, making it difficult for Stellar (XLM) to break free in narrative terms. Coinbase’s reduction of XRP reserves in September created mixed sentiment, but Ripple (XRP)’s price still hovers near $2.80 with projections to climb toward $5 if ETF approvals go through. For Stellar (XLM), competition with Ripple (XRP) is a constant challenge.

Conclusion: Whales Look Elsewhere

As Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) battle for institutional attention, whales are voting with their wallets. Based Eggman ($GGs) is emerging as the fresh opportunity in the market, offering scarcity, culture-driven branding, and exponential upside potential. While Stellar (XLM) fundamentals remain strong, price stagnation is frustrating investors. Ripple (XRP) may provide stability, but Based Eggman ($GGs) offers momentum. For those chasing the next breakout, the presale may prove to be the smarter play.
