Stellar is set to deploy its X-Ray zero-knowledge upgrade on January 22, introducing privacy-focused features ahead of broader institutional usage. The update follows stablecoin testing by U.S. banks on Stellar in November and Franklin Templeton adding XLM to its ETF in December. Despite XLM trading about 54% below recent highs near $0.214, the network continues to expand production-grade ZK infrastructure, with Poseidon hashing and BN254 curves expected to go live shortly after the upgrade, alongside existing banking integrations and on-chain activity.
