XLM Consolidates for Upside as Marshall Islands Uses Stellar for On-Chain UBI

  • The Marshall Islands launched the world’s first on-chain universal basic income using the Stellar blockchain.
  • Blockchain technology enabled fast, low-cost, and fully auditable government transactions.
  • Stellar (XLM) shows bullish momentum as it holds key trendline support and consolidates above reclaimed ranges.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands has made history by executing the world’s first on-chain universal basic income (UBI) using the Stellar blockchain. Citizens received direct, unconditional payments digitally, showing how blockchain can streamline government disbursements and enhance financial inclusion while ensuring transparency in public fund distribution.

Through the use of Stellar, the RMI ensured that transaction operations take place fast and at a lower cost and are secure. The fact that payments are done on-chain means that there is transparency and that it does not involve third parties. This is a case that shows how technology can improve the efficiency and credibility of social services administered by governments.

The action further cements the Marshall Islands’ ambitions in the field of digital finance. With the recognition for innovating the first national cryptocurrency, the country is now paving the path for other applications of blockchain technology, shifting from merely conducting trading activities. The UBI project can potentially motivate other nations wanting to investigate crypto-welfare alternatives.

XLM Eyes Upside as Trendline Support Holds Strong

Moreover, the crypto analyst, BINANCE KILLERS, highlighted that Stellar (XLM) is also displaying signs of renewed strength after rejecting lower prices along a rising trend line. The steep drop has been absorbed quickly, which shows demand at the crucial levels. Such a response has made it possible for the XLM coin to re-enter the trading range.

Following the retake of this region, XLM has started to consolidate above it, which is an indication of a healthy market structure. Remaining above past resistance levels indicates that price is still led by buying pressure, with market participants defending their positions in the market rather than indicating weakness, as could have been expected.

The technical scenario appears to be positive as long as the rising trendline and the regained area are maintained. Nonetheless, the bears will regain control, and the market may witness a deeper correction if a break below the trendline occurs. Until then, the bulls will remain in the running and prevent the price from dropping further.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year.

Arizona Senator Proposes Exempting Bitcoin and Crypto from Taxes

Understanding the specific tax exemption proposal's scope, mechanics, and limitations provides foundation for evaluating feasibility and implications. The exemption presumably covers capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency appreciation at state level, though personal income tax and corporate tax treatment requires clarification. Scope questions include whether exemption applies to trading profits, mining income, staking rewards, DeFi yields, NFT sales, and business cryptocurrency revenue.
