On Friday, the LayerZero team announced via X that LayerZero is integrating Stellar, connecting its global payments network to LayerZero’s money infrastructure spanning 150+ blockchains and 500+ assets.
The integration combines Stellar’s real-world distribution with LayerZero’s global money infrastructure, expanding what’s possible for cross-border payments, onchain finance, and stablecoin mobility.
Stellar’s strength lies in its distribution. MoneyGram, Franklin Templeton, and multiple licensed institutions rely on its infrastructure for cash-in and cash-out, compliance screening, and transparent ledger settlement. It remains one of the few public networks with production integrations into real financial systems.
LayerZero is an interoperability protocol designed to facilitate seamless communication between different blockchains. It aims to create a unified, interconnected blockchain ecosystem where assets and data can move freely across various networks. ZRO trades at $1.698, up 1.8% in the last 24 hours.
Stellar is an open-source network with the mission to "create equitable access to the global financial system." Stellar is maintained by the Stellar Development Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2014. XLM is up 1.78% in the last 24 hours and now trades at $0.2937 per coin.
