Ripple’s Main Rival Stellar Sees 92% Increase In Operations This Year

December 28, 2022 by Mishal Ali

The main rival of Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), a decentralized peer-to-peer network, recorded around 3 billion operations this year, approximately a 92% increase from last year, which was 1 billion.

On December 26th, the network tweeted a thread in which SDF CEO and Executive Director Denelle Dixon summarized 2022 by outlining end-of-year stats, milestone achievements, and other information.

According to the Twitter thread, Stellar handled an additional billion operations in just two quarters of last year. This year, Stellar reached almost 1 billion operations in a single quarter and attained the milestone of having more than 7 million accounts on the network. 

Additionally, the network saw a massive growth of about 172% to 3.45 million from the previous year regarding total payments. The network reported a 1.9x increase in the number of daily transactions, steadily rising since the start of this year.

This rise occurs even though they’ve tightened their reporting criteria to exclude outdated relevant assets and noticed a little drop in the number of relevant assets on the network.

2022 New Developments Of Stellar (XLM)

As they said earlier this year, the network will soon support smart contracts. Soroban, a testnet with incentives, is now operating on Futurenet and is scheduled to be live on Mainnet in the middle of 2023.

In addition, they have set up a $100 million adoption fund with the sole purpose of aiding developers who are utilizing Soroban. However, Soroban is only the beginning of the excitement.

MoneyGram launched MoneyGram Access in June as a first-of-its-kind worldwide on/off-ramp service for digital wallets, collaborating with SDF.

According to the tweet:

One real-world use case showcasing the power of MoneyGram Access is Stellar Aid Assist, a tool that enables humanitarian aid organizations to deliver cash assistance quickly, affordably, and transparently.

Since the previous year, the number of anchors has doubled from 30 to 60, continuing to support Stellar. Since the Stellar Anchor Platform was introduced, being an anchor is now simpler than ever.

Furthermore, the Enterprise Fund, which was first introduced in 2020, is still expanding the Stellar ecosystem and widening its reach. A total of $23.525 million was invested by it this year in 5 firms. 

Additionally, $3.25 million went to accelerators supporting startups in growth regions, including Latin America and Africa.

Moreover, with $1.2 M distributed to three startups this year, the Matching Fund, its most recent investment track, enables more early-stage startups interested in developing on Stellar.

Robinhood Lists Stellar [XLM] And Avalanche [AVAX] Amidst SEC Probe

August 9, 2022 by Lipika Deka

Leading commission-free trading app Robinhood has expanded its crypto offering by adding Stellar [XLM] and Avalanche [AVAX], per a recent announcement. The trading platform’s recent addition is a welcome change to its earlier conservative listing policy toward crypto assets.

A few months back, it added support of Solana [SOL], Shiba Inu [SHIB], and Polygon [MATIC]. followed by Chainlink [LINK] in late June.

Beginning its foray into the crypto space in February 2018, Robinhood initially allowed its users to trade Bitcoin and a small selection of altcoins. Notably, BTC still accounted for over a third of the firm’s crypto-related revenue during the heights of the meme coin frenzy in the first quarter of 2021.

It gained a lot of attention when the world’s acclaimed meme coin Doge went live in July 2018. Following that it refrained from adding any more crypto tokens for almost three years at a time of massive growth in the crypto industry.

Earlier this year, the California-based firm started releasing crypto wallets, enabling users to withdraw crypto from exchanges.

But that could not alleviate the firm’s woes as in late June, shares of Robinhood took a hit due to shrinking revenue and a decline in active users. There were also reports of a possible acquisition by FTX which was denied by the firm.

Robinhood Embroiled In Legal Battles

On top of that, it recently reduced its staff by 23% amidst revenue falling to nearly halved in the second quarter of 2022.

In addition to that, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating the company’s compliance with short-selling rules since October 2021, as per a recent filing.

It also received requests from the SEC in Q2 seeking information related to the firm‘s compliance with trade reporting requirements concerning securities and fractional share lending.

This week, the trading platform’s crypto wing was fined $30 million by the New York State Department of Financial Services, in violation of anti-money-laundering and cybersecurity rules.

In 2020, the agency awarded a penalty of $65 million for misleading its customers about a key source of revenue, called payment for order flow which the firm didn’t admit or deny wrongdoing.

Stellar Blockchain to host EU-Thailand remittance corridor

August 11, 2021 by Chayanika Deka

Stellar has seen major breakthroughs of late as rivalry with the blockchain firm Ripple continued to escalate. In the latest development, a new cross-border remittance corridor has been opened between the 27 European Union [EU] countries and Thailand on the Stellar blockchain.

According to the official press release, Velo Labs, the company building a global settlement network, has teamed up with TEMPO Payments, the EU anchor for Stellar blockchain payments. The two entities aim to leverage Bitazza which happens to be a Thai crypto trading platform to facilitate the transactions. TEMPO Payments and Bitazza are both licensed financial institutions and have expanded their footing across ASEAN and EU markets, raking in nearly $17 billion and almost 600 million customers.

Stellar blockchain will be hosting the new corridor and leverage Velo tokens and Velo digital credits for the on-chain transactions. All three partner companies aim to perform a faster and cheaper money transfer option between Europe and Thailand by relying on their respective networks and eliminate the inefficiencies in these areas.

Elucidating more on the offering, Mike Kennedy, CEO of Velo Labs stated,

“What we’ve launched today is a validation of our core mission: building a global, decentralized, and interoperable network that will allow businesses and individuals alike to securely and instantly transfer value across the globe. Velo Labs wants to make cross-border transactions faster, cheaper, and more reliable for everyone; this first step starts us down the path of that reality.”

Stellar flying high

The latest news comes after reports of Stellar negotiating to purchase MoneyGram made headlines. The latter happens to be a popular global remittance app formerly partnered with Ripple. The two firms previously enabled large-scale remittances among emigrant communities.

However, things went south when tensions between Ripple and SEC escalated. Several platforms suspended XRP operations. MoneyGram also terminated its partnership agreement with the beleaguered blockchain company. Many in the community viewed Stellar’s reports to buy MoneyGram as an inflammatory move at a critical point in XRP’s timeline.

Stellar [XLM] Will Continue Its Hot Streak As Bulls Rush Into Its Market

January 13, 2021 by Sahana Kiran

The crypto-verse has been on a roller coaster ride with the price of the assets exhibiting extreme volatility. Stellar [XLM] has been bagging a lot of gains following its association with the Ukraine government as well as the bull run. The entire market, however, was seen back at the red sea.

The overall market cap of the crypto industry had been trying hard to push past $1 trillion, yet it was stuck at $942.85 billion during the time of writing.

Just last week, Stellar revealed that it was joining hands with the Ukraine government to develop a CBDC. This seems to have aided the asset’s market cap as well as price. The altcoin’s market cap rose to $6.39 billion pushing the coin into the top ten. At press time, XLM was trading for $0.289 and surged by over 100% in the last 14 days.

Ukraine Eyes Development Of CBDC As It Teams Up With Stellar Foundation

January 5, 2021 by Sahana Kiran

Central Bank Digital Currencies [CBDC] has become every country’s dive into digitalization. Ukraine seems to be jumping on the bandwagon as several countries have already begun developing their own digital currencies. Governments have taken advice from prominent crypto platforms in the development of these assets. Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation recently revealed its partnership with a  prominent cryptocurrency network.

Ukraine To Embrace Digitalization

In a recent blog post, the Stellar Development Foundation [SDF] unveiled that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation with Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation. This memorandum is said to focus on the development of digital assets in the country. With China being well ahead in the CBDC game, other countries were also seen catching up. Ukraine seems to be complying with the “better late than never” motto and is prepping to embrace digitalization. The post pointed out that the country wanted to elevate its status in Eastern Europe’s digital financial market.

While it remains uncertain if the country will opt for Stellar’s blockchain for its CBDC, the memorandum affirmed that both the parties would focus on several other aspects of rolling out a digital currency. This included the development process of the virtual asset, all the way to the implementation, circulation as well as the regulation procedures of the asset.

The Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation for IT Development, Oleksandr Bornyakov pointed out that the leading countries of the world were on board with the development of digital assets and Ukraine’s National Bank has reportedly been researching the prospects of CBDC since 2017. He added,

“The Ministry of Digital Transformation is working on creating the legal environment for the development of virtual assets in Ukraine. We believe our cooperation with the Stellar Development Foundation will contribute to development of the virtual asset industry and its integration into the global financial ecosystem.”

All the activities related to the development of Ukraine’s CBDC has started this month. Additionally, the CEO and Executive Director, Stellar Development Foundation, Denelle Dixon revealed that the SDF was rather impressed by the commitment that the country had towards the adoption of innovation and digitalization.
