About Stellar (XLM)
Stellar (XLM) was launched in July 2014 by Jed McCaleb (a co-founder of Ripple) and Joyce Kim. The Stellar Development Foundation, a non-profit based in San Francisco, oversees development. Stellar is purpose-built for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset issuance, particularly for unbanked populations and remittance corridors. Major partnerships include MoneyGram (XLM-based USDC remittances) and Circle (USDC native issuance on Stellar). XLM is the network's native currency, used to pay transaction fees and as a base trading pair.
Stellar Technology
Stellar uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement system that does not require Proof-of-Work or traditional Proof-of-Stake. Validators are organized into "quorum slices" that they trust, and consensus is reached when overlapping slices agree. Block times average 5 seconds with sub-cent fees. Stellar natively supports asset issuance (anyone can issue tokens including stablecoins) and includes a built-in decentralized exchange. Soroban, launched in 2024, brought Rust-based smart contracts to Stellar.
What Moves the XLM Price
XLM has high correlation to BTC and unique sensitivity to remittance and payments narrative. Daily spot volume on Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken typically ranges from $80-200 million. Key drivers include MoneyGram-related news, USDC-on-Stellar volume growth, CBDC pilots (several countries have tested CBDCs on Stellar-based infrastructure), and broader payments and stablecoin adoption.

Soroban is the Stellar smart contract platform launched on mainnet in early 2024.
