đ¨ Global shift: why is everyone talking about the connections of Stellar ($XLM), Stripe and traditional finance giants?
The news pool around the Stellar ecosystem explodes the infopole again. The latest reports of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), where key industry players such as Stripe, PayPal, USDC and USDT have found themselves, once again prove that blockchain is reaching the level of global interbank and institutional rails. Stellar
Let's analyze what foundations have been laid over the years and why Stellar ($XLM) has historically unique connections with the fintech elite:
1ď¸âŁ Stripe and Stellar roots
Few people remember, but at the very start Stellar received $3 million in grant from Stripe, and Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison joined his first board of directors. Today, Stripe is actively developing the infrastructure of stable coins (recall their purchase of Bridge and integration of USDC), and the vector of their technological DNA is closely intertwined with the blockchain.
2ď¸âŁ PayPal, PYUSD and real cases
Institutional reports and recent cases of the Stellar ecosystem (including integrations involving such giants as PayPal with their stablecoin PYUSD, MoneyGram, etc.) show that we are not talking about empty HYIP speculations, but about the real volume of transactions, cross-border transfers and settlements. Stellar
3ď¸âŁ Stablecoins and institutionals (USDC / USDT)
When regulators and the world's main financial institutions (including BIS) begin to analyze in detail the mechanics of stablecoins on blockchains, the infrastructure with micromillion commissions and high speed (like Stellar) is in the center of attention.
đ What does this mean for the market?
While retail is looking for minute pumps, big players are building bridges between traditional finance (TradFi) and Web3. Such references in global reports are a marker of the fact that the long-term architecture of digital money is already being formed right now.
