Stellar (XLM) Jumps 10% Thanks to Coinbase Pro’s New York Landfall

Among the top 10 crypto by market capitalization, Stellar (XLM) is leading the pack of gainers having appreciated by nearly 10% in the last 24 hours. This coincides with an announcement by Coinbase Pro listing the cryptocurrency in New York. After falling against the U.S. dollar to a yearly low of $0.052 earlier this week, Stellar has now recovered to $0.0603 after posting gains of 9.22% on Thursday.

The gain in price coincides with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Pro announcing that Stellar will now be available for trading on the platform in New York with no restrictions. The plunge in Stellar’s price earlier this week came after the altcoin had surged to a two-month high of nearly $0.09 last week after appreciating by about 30%.

Besides its price, Stellar’s volumes have also surged by 12.58%. This is the largest increase among the leading 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, per Coincap.  Stellar’s availability on Coinbase Pro in New York comes around five months since Coinbase Wallet started supporting the cryptocurrency. It also comes six months since the altcoin was made available on Coinbase Pro in the exchange’s supported jurisdictions but with the exception of the state of New York.
