DTCC Integrates With Stellar, $344M USDT Frozen on Tron as XLM, XRP, USDT Dominate Weekend Crypto Sentiment

According to Santiment Intelligence, on this weekend (May 31), three major crypto assets—Stellar (XLM), XRP, and Tether (USDT)—are dominating market sentiment driven by institutional partnerships, exchange listings, and regulatory enforcement.

Stellar (XLM) surged in social activity after the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) began exploring integration of its tokenized securities infrastructure with the Stellar network, sparking renewed buying interest particularly in South Korea. XRP gained attention following its inclusion in the newly announced GCSE Global Currency Exchange System. Meanwhile, Tether (USDT) faced heightened scrutiny after reports of a $344 million freeze on the Tron network and approximately $100 million in additional crypto asset restrictions tied to sanctioned entities, intensifying compliance debate around stablecoins.
