  • Stellar development foundation continues preparation to add the ability to create automated market makers on the network. 
  • An analyst turned a long position in XLM from $300,000 in unrealized losses to $1.5 million in gains within a month.

This is an important milestone for digital currencies and demonstrates the continued maturation of the asset class.

Based on the latest developer update, the team at Stellar Development Foundation continues to prepare to add the ability to support automated market makers (AMM) on the blockchain. The arrival of AMM is expected to enhance liquidity to a large extent, promoting a bullish outlook among experts. 

Bitso, a Latin American cryptocurrency exchange, has started integrating Stellar USD Coin (USDC) for its customers, using USD Coin as a bridge asset between Mexico and the US. Over two million users currently benefit from Stellar's integration at Bitso.

Further, the Stellar Community Fund has 4 million XLM tokens for distributing to projects based on a community vote. The network has asked projects to submit proposals and engage with the process. 

In light of incentives and rewards offered by various protocols and blockchain networks for developing projects on their platforms, Stellar's initiative is attracting key developers in Web3 and dApp ecosystem to the network.
