Curve Launches StableSwap on Stellar, Expanding DeFi Capabilities

Curve has deployed its first non-EVM StableSwap protocol on the Stellar blockchain, enabling permissionless asset swaps.

Curve has deployed its first non-EVM StableSwap protocol on the Stellar blockchain, enabling permissionless asset swaps. Stellar (XLM) is trading at $0.1694, up 0.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by NewsBTC, with live market data added, as of Sun, 01 Nov 2026 08:45:03 UTC.

Why it matters

This integration expands Curve's DeFi presence beyond EVM-compatible chains, providing Stellar users with access to efficient stablecoin trading and liquidity pools.

Key takeaways
  • Curve launched its first non-EVM StableSwap on Stellar mainnet.
  • The deployment enables permissionless asset swaps on Stellar.
  • Stellar's XLM token shows minor gains amid the announcement.

Curve, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol, has expanded its DeFi footprint by launching its StableSwap functionality on the Stellar blockchain. This marks the first time Curve has deployed its protocol on a non-EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible network.

The integration brings permissionless liquidity pools and asset swaps to Stellar, allowing users to trade compatible stablecoins and other assets with low fees and slippage. This development is significant as it extends Curve's capabilities beyond EVM-based chains, tapping into Stellar's ecosystem.

According to DeFiLlama, Curve's total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $1.25 billion, representing a 4.6% decrease over the past week. Despite the new deployment, this decline indicates potential market headwinds or a shift in investor sentiment.

In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap remains at $2.68 trillion, with Bitcoin showing a modest 0.81% gain in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index remains in 'Fear' territory at 34, reflecting ongoing market caution.

Stellar's native token XLM has seen a slight 0.33% increase in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.169106. This modest movement suggests the market is still evaluating the long-term implications of the Curve integration.
