XLM is currently trading in the green at $0.231379.
Stellar acquired Chain
According to the latest data, more than 300,000 accounts have been registered only since July from the 1 million total of accounts.
Stellar’s recent significant achievements include the acquisition of Chain which is a San Francisco based start-up building blockchain tech for the financial industry.
The data shows that the trading figures have drastically reduced by 95.5% in more than two months. The number of trades in June was 265,165 and they have been reduced to 6,447.
Stellar packs the financial resources and Chain comes with the engineering talent.
A source close to this deal revealed that these steps had been taken likely in response to the heated battle for top developers between crypto companies.
