Stellar Lumen
Stellar going to be listed on one of the biggest Turkish exchange on the 24th of January
Recently there was a Stellar meetup in Singapore according to this person who attended it, Lindsay (who works for Stellar) said that Stellar will release their roadmap at the end of January for 2018.
One thing that’s awful about cryptocurrency is going from fiat to cryptocurrency or vice versa. FairX recently announced that they are going to solve this problem by…you guessed it — using Stellar.
Stripe got on board with Stellar in the early days which was impressive enough, but the partnerships are still rolling in now. Over the last few months we learned that IBM are getting involved which is a very good vote of confidence for the Stellar team. It’s not every day that a Fortune 500 company gets involved with cryptocurrency.
