Despite speculations suggesting that XLM might be the SEC’s next target due to its striking similarities with XRP, the cryptocurrency has not encountered similar legal issues in the US as Ripple. Following XRP’s partial legal success, the price of XRP surged considerably. While XLM followed behind increasing by almost 90% but retraced some of the accumulated gains later. In terms of expansion, XRP has achieved multiple milestones and has gained approvals in several regions including Dubai. The cryptocurrency is positioned to gain from Ripple’s potential integration into trillion-dollar markets and industries. On the other hand, Stellar (XLM) is improving its ecosystem by integrating a new testnet upgrade, Protocol 20. The cryptocurrency is also actively seeking new partnerships with banks to expand its reach and utility. Featured image from Coinmarketcap, chart from Tradingview.com
