TIP-015 - $500,000 investment from treasury into Stellar ($XLM)
We believe additional investments in established projects at current market conditions will help to further grow our treasury. Diversity minimises the risk and makes a continuous growth possible.
When XLM was released in July 2014, one of its goals was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked — but soon afterwards, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology.
The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers, who often charge high fees for a similar service.
If all of this sounds familiar, it is worth nothing that Stellar was originally based on the Ripple Labs protocol. The blockchain was created as a result of hard fork, and the code was subsequently rewritten.
Stellar is unique because every transaction costs just 0.00001 XLM. Given how one unit of this cryptocurrency only costs a few cents at the time of writing, this helps ensure that users keep more of their money.
Few blockchain projects have managed to secure partnerships with big-brand technology companies and fintech firms. A few years ago, Stellar and IBM teamed up to launch World Wire, a project that allowed large financial institutions to submit transactions to the Stellar network and transact using bridge assets such as stablecoins.
After TIP-014 ends, we will withdraw $500,000 from the Treasury to a secondary wallet and will perform the investment in the following hours. (We'll analyse the target project chart to find the best moment to jump in, and may do multiple smaller transactions instead of a big one).
