Layer 1 blockchains are the foundational infrastructure upon which the crypto ecosystem is built. Whilst blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum often enjoy the limelight, there are also a number of networks innovating under the radar and contributing to the quiet rewiring of global finance.
The Stellar blockchain is reshaping cross-border finance. Since launching in 2014, it has evolved into a globally distributed network powering real-world use cases, including cross-border payments, remittances, and tokenised real-world assets (RWAs). With ultra-low transaction costs and fast finality, Stellar is positioned as a leading infrastructure layer for cross-border payments and asset tokenisation.
Stellar’s native asset, Lumens (XLM), is the lifeblood of the network, powering transactions and on-chain financial activity. XLM transaction fees average just $0.00015, making both high-volume transfers and micro-transactions highly economical. This efficiency helps bring payments and traditional finance onto blockchain rails, expanding the scope for on-chain settlement, custody, and trading.
The WisdomTree Physical Stellar Lumens ETP provides investors with a simple, secure, and low-cost way to gain exposure to the price of XLM, through regulated European markets.
