Stellar (XLM) Eyes $0.28 as U.S. Bank Enters Stellar Stablecoin Market

U.S. Bank launching its own stablecoin on the Stellar blockchain marks a significant step for traditional finance embracing blockchain technology. The market cap for stablecoins on the Stellar blockchain has grown by an astonishing 53% from last year, and the real-world assets market cap has skyrocketed by an unprecedented 196% to $890.2 million.

By doing so, U.S. Bank is positioned as a major adopter of blockchain technology, leveraging Stellar’s efficient and inexpensive infrastructure. With stablecoins increasingly being adopted as a bridge between digital currencies and traditional money, U.S. Bank’s entry into this sector is an indication that mainstream banking is incorporating blockchain to improve banking efficiency and provide new financial products.

XLM Nears Key Support, With Potential Upside to $0.28 

However, the crypto analyst, GainMuse, revealed that XLM is starting to stabilize with the removal of short-term pressures, and the price has seen a bounce from a tight base near the lower support level in its price range. This has occurred following a reaction from a significant area of demand, in which the cryptocurrency has seen support in the past.

Since the price is trying to keep itself above this key demand area, Stellar may be ready to experience a recovery toward $0.28 if this trend continues. However, the market is still very volatile, and if this support is not sustained, there may be more risks of decline. Investors should be cautious as XLM passes through this key phase.

XLM Technical Outlook Suggest Cautious Optimism

Looking at the weekly chart of XLM, the price is currently trading inside a range after experiencing some volatility. The RSI is currently at 39.96, which is below the midpoint of 50 and indicates weak support for the bulls and a weak trend towards the bears. The moving average of the RSI is also pointing downwards.

Furthermore, MACD is bearish as it remains below the signal line, and it is still negatively aligned due to the widening of the histogram. Although past bullish factors of MACD have weakened, current factors point out that there is potential for continuation of this trend or a change in momentum.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
