Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange specializing in stablecoin trading, has expanded its StableSwap protocol to the 
Stellar mainnet. This marks the platform's first deployment on a non-
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain, signaling a strategic move to diversify its ecosystem.
The launch, which took place on October 29, 2026, provides users with access to permissionless pools and swaps for supported assets on the Stellar network. According to Curve, the expansion was driven by strong institutional demand, highlighting the growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions beyond the Ethereum ecosystem.
This development is corroborated by multiple outlets, including The Cryptonomist and NewsBTC, which both confirm the launch date and the significance of Stellar being Curve's first non-EVM deployment. While The Cryptonomist emphasizes the institutional demand aspect, NewsBTC provides additional details on the technical features of the integration.
Curve's expansion to Stellar comes at a time when the platform's Total Value Locked (TVL) stands at $1.25 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This figure represents a 7-day decline of 4.8%, indicating potential market challenges despite the strategic growth initiative.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap is at $2.69 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a 24-hour increase of 0.84% and Ethereum at $2,271.65, up 1.19% in the same period. Stellar (XLM) has seen a modest 0.08% increase in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.169114.
