The Stellar Meridian event, as reported by Coinfomania, highlighted the network's dedication to real-world financial applications, drawing significant interest from the industry.

This strategic focus on practical use cases comes as Stellar's Total Value Locked (TVL) has seen a substantial increase of 19.5% over the past week, reaching $128.89M, according to DeFiLlama.

Despite the positive developments, the price of Stellar's native token, XLM, has not reflected the same upward trend. Over the last 24 hours, XLM has declined by 2.53%, currently trading at $0.167453, with a 7-day drop of 6.39%.

The broader crypto market context shows a mixed picture, with the total market cap at $2.74T and Bitcoin down 1.46% in the past day. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The event's emphasis on real-world applications could be a key factor in Stellar's long-term growth strategy, as it seeks to differentiate itself in the competitive blockchain space. Observers will be watching for any follow-up announcements or partnerships that could emerge from the event.
