Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — XLM has no maximum supply.
New XLM is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.
Counting XLM that already exists but is not yet circulating, the market capitalisation at today's price would be about 1.4× what it is now.

Stellar in context
Stellar trades 77% below its all-time high of A$1.12, set in January 2018. Over the past 90 days it has lost 28.5% in AUD terms, trailing Bitcoin's +8.5% by 37.0 percentage points — one of the moves behind today's altcoin season index reading. Daily turnover runs at about 1.8% of its market value — comparatively thin trading, which can amplify moves in both directions.
