- Stellar uses blockchain technology to streamline financial transactions, emphasizing utility through tokenization and interoperability.
- Although the price of Stellar’s XLM has recently fluctuated, the network now offers sophisticated trading capabilities thanks to the introduction of CablesFinance.
The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is leading the charge in enabling smooth financial transfers between conventional and blockchain infrastructures as the blockchain technology landscape quickly changes.
During Paris Blockchain Week, SDF CEO Denelle Dixon presented a vision for the future of blockchain technology, highlighting the significance of use and integration.
Expect some real talk from me at #ParisBlockchainWeek on trust, innovation, and the impact on everyday financial services. We've got some work to do…let's talk about it on 4/9, at 9:20 AM | Master stage. #PBW2024 https://t.co/Ea59ZhEU7G

Dixon’s Leadership and Stellar’s Development
Dixon, an accomplished individual with a wealth of experience as a trial lawyer and positions at Mozilla and Yahoo, has played a key role in directing Stellar’s strategic course. Stellar has concentrated on making financial transactions as easy as sending an email under her direction.
To prevent reliance on intrinsically unstable cryptocurrencies, this work has included the incorporation of on- and off-ramps.
The capability of Stellar to tokenize assets has been a major functional improvement. This functionality, as well as seamless connections to fiat payment rails and gateways, have made it possible for its users to obtain utility.
As of right now, Stellar’s cryptocurrency, XLM, is up 3.09% in the last 24-hours to roughly $0.1126, according to the most recent statistics from CoinMarketCap. However, during the previous week, it dropped by 12.70%.
Dixon also underlined how crucial it is for the main blockchain technologies to work together. In an effort to build an interoperability layer that helps all blockchains, she promotes a cooperative strategy that goes beyond Stellar. He stated:
“I want this work to be not just for Stellar but to create an interoperability layer across chains and make it so that all blockchains benefit from the hard work that we’ve done.”
This idea is in line with the larger industry objective of increasing utility and lessening the fragmented growth that has so far defined the blockchain ecosystem.
Current Advancements and Prospective Paths
Dixon has noted that, in spite of the competitive nature of blockchain technology, executive tribalism is not as strong as it is thought to be. She emphasized her cordial rapport with peers such as Brad Garlinghouse of Ripple, highlighting a common conviction that the blockchain space is not a zero-sum endeavor.
Another significant achievement for the protocol is the recent launch of the Soroban platform in February 2024 on the Stellar network. With its introduction of improved programmability, Soroban is expected to draw in more developers and boost monthly network operations from one billion to ten billion.
Additionally, as ETHNews previously reported, the integration of CablesFinance into the Stellar network offers sophisticated trading functionalities that increase transparency within the global foreign exchange market.
