Stellar Lumens is the native cryptocurrency of the Stellar blockchain network.
This is a financial network designed to store and transfer multiple types of currency.
That includes fiat currencies, such as U.S. Dollar, Euro, and others.
It also covers various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD), Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD), and obviously Stellar Lumens.
One of the major advantages of using Stellar is that it provides the reach of a global bank without the extra hassle.
That includes fast transactions across the network, as well as flat fees for transactions.
The Stellar platform is also open-source and designed with developers in mind.

This means it can be used for business, development, and retail.
It’s also worth pointing out that Stellar already has partnerships with loads of other companies.
A few worth mentioning are Tangem, Zagg, FinClusive, Flutterwave, and ClickPesa.

One of the requirements of having a Stellar account is that it needs to hold a certain amount of XLM.
The reason behind this is to try and dissuade bad actors from making use of the platform.
That’s also the reason that the network makes use of a small, flat fee for transactions.

XLM was up 40.1% over a 24-hour period as of Monday afternoon.
