Stellar Lumens up by 10% over the hour; surges past Tron owing to Poloniex, IBM announcements

Stellar Lumens up by 10% over the hour; surges past Tron owing to Poloniex, IBM announcements

As the Libra bears eased off the cryptocurrency market, an unlikely leader emerged. Stellar Lumens [XLM], the second of the two most prominent bank coins in the market, surged by over 10 percent over the hour, as the market recorded a positive correction.

Following the second of two hearings for Calibra’s David Marcus, Bitcoin dropped from $11,500 to under $9,500, while the altcoins experienced a bleed-over effect. The market was drowning in a sea of red, declining by over 15 percent on a 24-hour basis, while the collective market cap dropped to under $250 billion for the first time in over a month.

Poloniex tweeted,

Over 1.2M Stellar Lumens have now been distributed to Poloniex customers via Stellar inflation rewards!

The other source of the Stellar Lumens pump came from its banking partner in crime, IBM. The American IT company’s blockchain project, ‘World Wire,’ which operates on the Stellar protocol, has been an important catalyst to the XLM surge. And in this instance, an IBM blessing resulted in a Stellar Lumens pump.
