Stellar News

Stellar is a payments network with the goal of democratizing financial transactions through its native token, Stellar Lumens (XLM). Whereas Ripple markets itself as a tool for banks, Stellar claims to represent the everyman—reducing transaction fees across borders and thereby reducing barriers to entry for the world’s unbanked population. Jed McCaleb, also the inventor of Ripple, created Stellar in 2014.

    Tokenization is Already Helping the World's Vulnerable. Here's How

    The tokenization of real-world assets has captured the imagination of financial institutions worldwide—delivering faster payments at lower cost, complemented by greater levels of automation. Stablecoins, digital assets that can be redeemed for fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio, now have a total market capitalization above $220 billion as Washington spearheads efforts to introduce clearer regulations.

    Stellar Network Brings DeFi to the Unbanked With Smart Contract Platform

    Banking the unbanked has been touted as one of the core use-cases of crypto since its inception—but the industry’s faced challenges in the form of high transaction fees and a lack of dedicated infrastructure. The launch of the Soroban smart contract platform on Stellar is aiming to change that. Launched earlier this year with the Protocol 20 update, the upgrade to the Stellar network introduces smart contracts into the Stellar ecosystem—and aims to bring the industry closer to its goal of becomi...

    Several proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies have increased in price since Elon Musk backtracked on Bitcoin two days ago.  In a tweet earlier this week, Musk announced that Tesla had suspended vehicle purchases made in Bitcoin. “We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel,” he said.  Since that tweet, the Tesla CEO doubled down, saying that it is “high time for a carbon tax,” and that wh...

    Stellar and XRP Surge 20% While Bitcoin and Ethereum Stagnate

    Stellar (XLM) has surged by 20% overnight to reach 63 cents a coin.  The last time XLM crossed 60 cents was, very briefly, back on February 13, but for the three years prior its price has stayed below 50 cents. In fact, the last time XLM traded above 50 cents was back around the time it reached its all-time high of 93 cents back in January 2018. Stellar co-founder and CTO Jed McCaleb is surely doubly happy this morning. XRP, the coin of the other project the American crypto entrepreneur founded...
