Steller (XLM) lead to new global payment system

Report source CNBC according to Jed McCaleb, the creator of Mt. Gox, and Stellar CTO

Similarly to Ripple, Stellar is a Blockchain powered international payment setup that uses a digital token.
Jed went on to say that “it seems pretty clear to me, in the future, there will be an operable universal payments network.” Adding that he sees a possibility for a hybrid system that facilitates the payment of fiat currencies through the Blockchain.

By 2028, Stellar’s blockchain technology could power a “Universal Payments Network” that processes not only payments but also traditional assets like stocks and shares. McCaleb said:

Stellar networks’ token: the Stellar Lumens (XLM) had been on an upward trend for quite a while, before dropping to $0.2512 yesterday. Its recent adoption of the lightning network, to help neutralize against future drawbacks has also helped lead to press coverage.

Thanks.
