Analysts associate the growth of XLM not only with the recently concluded partnership agreement of the development team with the government of Ukraine but also with the problems of the XRP token.
Ripple's altcoin has suffered heavy losses over the past few weeks. The fall in its value was the result of a lawsuit by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and delisting on leading exchanges. XRP is a modified fork of XRP.
Accordingly, this tool became the closest one to those investors who left the Ripple altcoin. Former XRP holders have been instrumental in pumping capital lease for Stellar, observers say.
