3 Reasons a new Stellar rally might be just around the corner

Published

Stellar

As like most of the cryptocurrencies, it has been good last 24 hours for Stellar (XLM) too, as it performs well in the market. Jumping by $0.025 or 6.81% and moving within touch of $0.4 level, the digital currency this week marked a new recent high.

Stellar Lumen is trading and can be purchased for about $0.3835 against the dollar or 0.000041 BTC on exchanges that include the likes of Ripplefox, Kraken, Mr. Exchange, and Bitcoin Indonesia.

Over the last week, Stellar Lumen’s trade went up 31.8% against the dollar and was seen to be the best performing coin among the unicorn digital currency group. Stellar XLM has a total market cap of $6.85 billion, and during the Asian trading hours, the digital currency trade volumes went as high as $79 million worth of Stellar. The genesis date of Stellar Lumen (XLM) was July 19th, 2013. Its circulating supply is 18,569,653,891 coins and its total supply is 103,867,241,052 digital coins.

Ranked as the 8th most important currency in the crypto market, Stellar (XLM) is a public infrastructure for money and has proof types and operates under algorithm. For a month, XLM coins have gone up close to 70% from $0.24 for coin leading other digital currencies like OMG, NEM, XMR, IOTA, and ADA.

But, what might be the reasons behind Stellar Lumen’s (XLM) merriment before the end of April?

Analysts believe several reasons might be behind XLM steady rise but the most notable one is considered to be the critical collaboration of the coin with IBM, Novatti, and other major companies. With the partnership with Novatti, a payment service provider, XLM increases the prospectors of interoperability between diverse financial currencies and systems having XLM as the primary cryptocurrency for international payments.Thus, making this coin a good investment.

The digital money enables transactions between people, companies, and other institutions as easy as sending an email. This means easy access for individuals, more revenues for firms, and lower transaction costs. But, here I’d like to pinpoint deeper as to why the new rally for Stellar is highly possible. So, positive activities that are propelling Stellar towards the positive direction include: –

Stellar Inflation Pool

XLM does not use proof-of-stake like Casper POS implementation as Ethereum and Bitcoin do. The digital coin also does not use a dividend reward system. So, how do you receive rewards? The answer is inflation. Recently, XLM announced the distribution of 100,000 digital coins weekly to its members. Distribution of fees and inflation used in the member’s community is based on the voting powers they possess by looking at the number of XLM Lumens the individual owns.

The distribution of the Lumens is done free of charge requiring the account holder to only have Lumens in their account. You can Join an XLM Inflation Pool by using various wallets that are partnering with Stellar. With such a community-friendly thing going on, we can only except the good things to happen with this coin.

Lobstr Wallet

The announcement by Lobstr wallet that they would be supporting XLM assets has made the cryptocurrency community excited. After joining and setting up a wallet account and depositing Lumens, users will be able to send and receive different digital coins on the platform.

A number of tradeable currencies that could be available include KIN, Smartlands, Ternio, and Mobius. Although not yet released, the Lobstr wallet will be open and accessible on Android, and IOS gadgets leading to high anticipation and increased interest towards the coin.

Repo Coin Airdrop

The Repo Coin is a platform that uses XLM protocol for token operation as a substitute of the traditional ERC20. The main aim of Repo Coin is to solve issues relating to non-payment and insecurities by debtors towards lending companies with the aid of technology and business solutions. Like the XLM program, account holders need to have a minimum of 3 XLM in their wallets (not at an exchange, though) to qualify to participate in the airdrop. By participating, it sets them to get $100 worth of Repo digital coin.

Consequently, the three events I discussed above have got the exceptional potential to get new investors on board with Stellar (XRM). All indications show that if the market remains the same and all factors constant; this should be the beginning of high trade volumes and steady climb for the coin.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”
