Did you know an issuer on @StellarOrg can set flags on the asset itself: require approval before an account can hold it, freeze a balance, or claw it back. Those controls run at the protocol level rather than inside a smart contract, which is why regulated funds and stablecoins have settled on the $XLM network. @FTDA_US BENJI money market fund is issued there, and DTCC said in May it will tokenize DTC-custodied assets on Stellar, per @BuildOnStellar.

Stellar, XRP Ledger, and Monad see shrinking stablecoin economies. Usst.site According to data at time of writing on DefiLlama, three major L1 networks have all seen their stablecoin supplies contract over the past week. @monad [-6.4%] @StellarOrg [-5.1%] @Ripple XRPL [-3.1%] The networks remain the 16th, 14th and 13th largest blockchains by stablecoin supply, respectively.

$LAPTOP IS NOW LIVE ON STELLAR DEX! @StellarOrg @HunterBiden Base season is cool, but Stellar speed is unmatched. The chart is green, LP is rising, and early buyers are already in profit. Why pay 5 gas fee on Base when you can trade $LAPTOP for 0.00001 $XLM on @lobstr ? lobstr.co/swap/native/LAPTOP…

Stellar Got a Big Upgrade For Speed And Smart Contracts Stellar’s (@StellarOrg ) Protocol 28, called Adapter, is now live on mainnet with upgrades for consensus and smart contracts. @BuildOnStellar The release ensures that the validators can start the process of voting even as the transactions are being delivered to the whole network. This will assist in keeping the consensus process running even when transaction data takes long to be delivered. Adapter is also able to facilitate upgrades of shared code by a fleet of smart contracts by managing them from one reference point. There is another feature that eases migration of contract data during structure updates. Stellar says the upgrade is designed to support larger and more complex applications.

Celo's stablecoin ecosystem just got even stronger... $IDRX , the world's the leading fiat-backed Indonesian Rupiah stablecoin, issued by PT @idrx_co Indo Inovasi, has just gone live on @Celo 's L2 network. IDRX itself is backed 1:1 by Rupiah-denominated reserves. The launch marks the 33rd stablecoin to go live on Celo, which has made a name for itself as a leader when it comes to stablecoin payments, and has also broken past 450,000 daily active users. Other noteworthy stablecoin launches to arrive on Celo recently include... - USAT (issued by Anchorage Digital Bank and supported by Tether) - cNGN (the Naira stablecoin regulated by Nigeria's SEC) - Ripio's wFIAT Stack (covering the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, Mexican Peso, and several others) 🔗stellardex.my.id @StellarOrg IDRX's launch on Celo is supported from day-one by crosschain FX liquidity network @Textileprotocol , which will support IDRX trades against @tether 's USDT with institutional liquidity led by Tribeca Park Capital. Textile was itself born out of the Celo ecosystem. #DanantaraIndonesia

Why Does Stellar Focus on the Unbanked and Cross-Border Payments? The Stellar (@StellarOrg ) network was built around a simple problem: moving money across borders can still be slow, expensive, and difficult. Stellar aims to make financial services more accessible by connecting people, businesses, and payment providers through blockchain infrastructure. (1) It focuses on people underserved by traditional banking. Stellar was designed to support low-cost financial access, especially for people who have limited access to traditional banking services. Its network can allow users to send and receive digital assets without relying entirely on traditional financial infrastructure. (2) Cross-border payments are a major part of its focus. Sending money internationally can involve banks, payment processors, currency conversions, and multiple intermediaries. Stellar allows assets to move across its network quickly, creating a simpler path for certain cross-border transactions. (3) Stablecoins make the network more useful for payments. Dollar-backed assets can help users transfer digital representations of familiar currencies across borders. This can reduce some of the volatility concerns associated with using cryptocurrencies directly for everyday payments. (4) Stellar also connects blockchain networks with existing financial systems. The network has increasingly focused on partnerships with financial institutions, payment companies, and fintech businesses. This approach gives Stellar a role beyond crypto trading, particularly in remittances, settlement, and digital financial services. (5) Its goal is less about replacing banks and more about improving access. Stellar’s model focuses on making money easier to move between people, businesses, and financial networks. This makes the unbanked and cross-border payments central to the network’s original purpose and continuing strategy. 🔗usst.site
