Is Stellar a 100x Crypto? Here's Everything YOU Should Know About It

[00:00:00]This is the strongest signal I've had in a very long time for institutional validation. There's still fierce competition from other chains like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, XRP.

[00:00:10]>> I thought DTCC was backing Canton. Why are they backing >> A rising base is an indicator for building pressure.

[00:00:26]>> We've talked a lot about Canton on this net on this show and the the DTCC. Well, today or yesterday, the DTCC came out and said that they are approving Stellar to be to hold host some of their tokenized assets that they they're going to be creating in the future. So, Stellar is going to be a major part of their ecosystem major part but a part of their ecosystem and will host tokenized assets for them. And that's what led to nice little pop in the price of Stellar.

[00:00:53]So, I just wanted to cover that real quick. I'm going to jump in and uh or let me review as I I have the Stellar website up here. I'm also going to review the token rating system while we go over while I kind of just go through here.

[00:01:04]Uh Michael, you can jump in anytime if you want to talk about the website but Stellar is a payment and settlement network designed to facilitate fast, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly for remittances and financial inclusion.

[00:01:15]XLM functions as a bridge asset within this system helping move value between currencies and accounts across different jurisdictions.

[00:01:24]While Stellar has real-world usage and partnerships, especially in payment corridors, the token itself does not provide ownership, cash flow, or enforceable participation in network's economic activity.

[00:01:36]It operates as a neutral settlement utility rather than a capital asset, meaning its value is tied to transaction volume and usage, not structural necessity or participation. As a result, XLM sits in the mature infrastructure category with limited remaining convexity.

[00:01:52]And as we we've covered this several times on even multiple remote views, if you're on ffg.rv.com, I posted an article earlier showing just a validation of what a viewer said previously about Stellar and how things are turning out now.

[00:02:06]I encourage you to check it out, but they were really right on about it. They predicted a lot of things, whether it's DTCC getting involved, just big players being involved in it as well.

[00:02:16]So, yeah, there's some good things there. I'm not showing the website. I'm showing the the announcement on >> That's okay.

[00:02:22]Let's review what the DTCC is, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Corporation.

[00:02:30]That is the corporation that physically handles all the securities in the US, all the stocks and bonds, and other securities. They have a hun- over a hundred trillion dollars in assets. The question I asked Michael, we had just talked about the DTCC endorsing a crypto, which was Canton, which is how they're going to tokenize all these securities, and I asked Michael, what's the I thought DTCC was backing Canton. Why are they backing Stellar now? What's the difference, Michael? What did you tell me?

[00:03:06]>> The difference is that Canton is being used to tokenize the to to create digital certificates on securities. The the usage of Canton will determine the price. So, the more assets are being digitized in in in digital certificates, the more Canton will be valuable. It's being driven by application. But, the trading of these assets doesn't happen on Canton. Canton itself is just the the the certification layer that is necessary in order to create that digital certificate. So, the trading on this or moving things on on securities will happen here on XLM. Jeff, what's your take on this uh announcement and the pump that we saw this week on uh Stellar XLM?

[00:04:02]>> Well, it certainly has been a long-awaited jump for XLM.

[00:04:08]Uh I'd say that this is the strongest signal we've had in a very long time for institutional validation and the clearest adoption catalysts. And it kind of came pretty left field to be to be honest.

[00:04:22]Um obviously you guys have gone over the DTCC, there's direct alignment with real-world asset tokenized tokenization trends, low fees, fast settlements, and compliance-focused network, and strong loyal community similar to the XRP community. So, still we're still well below prior cycle highs. Um the risks, actual implementation is still years away.

[00:04:48]Okay, while the while the asset has jumped significantly in the last 24 hours, this is probably not going to move today or next week or next month.

[00:04:57]Uh there's still fierce competition from other chains like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, XRP.

[00:05:03]And the DTCC's pushing um for multi-chain strategy, not just a Stellar exclusive approach. So, that's a key piece that we have to remember here.

[00:05:13]So, look, at the end of the day it's it's great for Stellar holders. It's been a it's been a long time coming for them to finally get uh get a bit of a jump. And uh it's the like I said, it's the strongest institutional catalyst uh that we're seeing at the moment. So, it's uh great work to them.

[00:05:28]>> Are the big boys crushing the market, keeping the market down for now, and then slipping in these little um you know, turning on the market at the same time they're suppressing it?

[00:05:40]>> I can't necessarily speak to exactly what they're doing, but it does kind of seem like that. And this kind of aligns with what I've seen in in crypto winners. Anytime anything really does start to generate momentum, there'll be something else that happens that squashes everything, but you'll notice that certain tokens like a Stellar had that announcement, but I've just been noticing it with a lot of different sectors, AI tokens, and especially the RWA sector. You'll see these really this random spikes in certain tokens, and then it kind of comes back down. I noticed that's what you really see when we've passed the maybe the lull, the low point of crypto winter, and we're starting to head back up and interest is starting to return. That's a sign that people are starting to reallocate to towards certain positions. So, they make a big buy, and especially when it's low vol- volatility or low um liquidity, the market moves more much more it's more responsive, so you see those real quick rapid spikes, then it kind of dies back down. So, to me that we're we're seeing accumulation while they're also trying to keep the prices tamped down long-term.

[00:06:36]>> If you look at who is behind XLM, then you'll then you'll find out that Jed McCaleb um is the co-founder of Ripple, and um he's the former founder of Mount Gox, the first exchange. So, somebody who comes with really deep knowledge about cryptos, specifically coming out of the Bitcoin uh um ecosystem, and um when you look at the leadership that's currently there, then you see that um Jed McCaleb is active. He's the founder and chief architect. They have uh David Mazieres, uh that's founder and chief scientist, and they have um you have quite interesting people working there. So, the board of directors is that what is interesting as well. We have people like Ginger Baker, that is uh with Played with a payment processor. So, um Played has an interest in the tokenization or in moving assets uh over their platforms. So, when you have payment processors um behind this, they are building another, let's say, competitor or the competing competing platform to Stripe. Let me share the chart with you. Pretty interesting developments. A rising base is an indicator for building pressure. There's building pressure.
