Ripple Stellar

Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) are top cryptos in the entirely. Even with the fierce rivalry that occurs in the cryptosphere with many altcoins expanding, it is necessary to know that Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) have magnificent structures that separate them from competition and help them succeed on their own.

However, both Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) are not in competition with each other; instead, each of them has its very own ways to win in the cryptosphere. The main point is, both of them can thrive together.

The market position and price of Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP)

XLM and XRP aren’t highly priced, and this makes them the best option for mass adoption. However, with the great expansion of altcoins in the crypto market today, lots of investors are only interested in the value and gains that each cryptos present.

However, it is necessary to know that the increasing rate of altcoins in the cryptosphere is since Bitcoin (BTC) has lots of shortcomings and new altcoins are looking for ways to correct these failings, and XLM and XRP are top-picks that give solutions to real-life problems.

Furthermore, XLM and XRP are coins that aim to adopt a large number of investors; as it stands, both of them do not have any form of competition or whatsoever regarding services rendered and the number of investors being targeted. On the other hand, investors know what they want, and they are sensitive to the worth of each crypto not just on their current price, but on a long-term perspective.

Both cryptos have appealing entry points for different types of users. At the time of writing, XLM is priced at $0.18809 with a market capitalization of $3.5 Billion. XRP, on the other hand, is currently priced $0.44797 with a market capitalization of $17.5 billion – clearly, Ripple (XRP) has a more significant market capitalization than Stellar’s XLM in the crypto market.

Even though there is a big difference in the market capitalization of these two, there isn’t any form of competition. Ripple (XRP) is being adopted by banks to solve real-life problems, and there are more than 100 banking entities that have embraced the cryptocurrency presently. This feat is making Ripple (XRP) a futuristic cryptocurrency.

Stellar (XLM) has not achieved much when it comes to partnerships (IBM seems to be its biggest lead so far). Although, the kind of collaborations that Stellar (XLM) does is different from Ripple (XRP).

Both coins have different goals that set them apart

Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) are not in competition because of the fact that both of them have different goals, and they operate differently. Stellar’s developers aim to help startups, while the team behind Ripple objective to partner with banks.

These two goals are quite different; it distinguishes them and state what each has to offer. Additionally, we are safe to say that both Stellar (XLM) and Ripple (XRP) co-exist together and thus, there is no rivalry. Investors have the final say on which has the potential of booming in the future.

Both are cheap right now, Ripple (XRP) went down by 7.9% in the last seven days and Stellar (XLM) got declined by 9.35%, so from an investment point of view, it’s the best time to purchase both at low price in bulk considering that both have tremendous potential to grow and perhaps none of two might be this cheap again.

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…
