Stellar Lumens (XLM) price spikes amid Coindelta listing

Published

on

Stellar

The good news keeps aggregating for Stellar Lumens and XLM, it’s native token. This week’s adoption is by Coindelta.

Coindelta is a cryptocurrency exchange based in India that offers high usability and the chance to trade in digital assets using the INR, India’s fiat currency, popularly known as Rupee. It supports QTUM, NEO, XRP, Litecoin, EOS, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and starting this Monday (a couple of days ago), Stellar Lumens’ XLM.

It also offers secure wallets for customers to store their tokens and a purportedly lowest withdrawal fee. It includes a section for pro traders that facilitates the exchange of high volumes in minimal times. The exchange promotes itself as “The easiest way to buy, sell and store cryptocurrencies”. The Coindelta platform includes a mobile app (Android and iOS) that allows users to manage their coins from a mobile phone.

Signing up for CoinDelta isn’t that different from most other exchanges. You create an account, verify your identity, make a deposit (in Rupees) and you start trading. One of the advantages in this exchange is that all the currencies it offers can be traded in fiat currency, which obviates the need to buy bitcoins first, as is the case in many of the world’s most important platforms such as Binance.

This Monday, November 26th, the CoinDelta team announced to its community it’s a “delight” for them to list Stellar Lumens XLM. Deposits and withdrawals went online that same day, and trading started at 6:00 pm, Indian Standard Time. The announcement reminded prospective XLM traders the rules of the game:

  • The withdrawal fee for XLM will be 0.01.
  • Minimum deposit for XLM is 1.
  • The number of blockchain confirmations required is 1.
  • Recovery Fee for XLM is 0.2.

The announcement went on by briefly explaining Stellar’s main features and provided a link to the Stellar Development Foundation website for those who wanted to dig deeper about the new option.

The exchange also announced the new coin through a tweet in its official Twitter account which reads:

The new listing is further progress for Stellar Lumens, especially since XRP, its main rival, was already listed in this particular exchange. New listings create interest on the listed projects. More importantly, they increase trading volumes and demand for tokens that ultimately translates into higher value and price.

Also, this shows that Stellar Lumens is looking to make headway into Asia, which has not been an obvious thing. The project has been securing strategic partnerships all year long, but they’ve been mainly with companies and exchanges from the U.S. and Europe.

This is very relevant because many of the most active markets in crypto are in Asia. Not exactly in India, but in China, South Korea, and Japan. But Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Stellar is doing all the right moves to ensure its coin is available all over the planet and it has a presence of some kind in every important market in the world.

As we write this, the Stellar Lumens XLM token is priced at $0.1593 and trading in green numbers (up by 14.32% in the last 24 hours). It’s capitalized at just above 3 billion dollars (fifth place in the rankings) and it’s been threatening to take away Bitcoin Cash’s fourth place. Stellar is only about 300 million dollars away from the feat.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
