Why The Bull Run?
Although, the cryptocurrency space is becoming bullish, and it is positively affecting all coins. The increasing growth of Stellar despite the uprightness of the cryptospace in recent time is surprising. Stellar endures to remain atop but in the past few hours it has witnessed a little sudden fall, this could be linked to what is happening in the crypto space as of today. Day by day, Stellar is flourishing, and it may soon be counted as the 5 top cryptocoins.
Now, according to Coinmarketcap, Stellar has a Market Cap of $6,405,493,222, and a trade price of $0.344929.
Stellar’s bull run can be linked to its recent partnerships and the general northward movement of the crypto sphere. Few days ago, XLM partnered with Novatti Group, a go-to global fintech and systems integration provider. Not only that, Stellar had partnered IBM. It has in the past partnered Kin Foundation.
