Stellar Lumens (XLM) Price Increases as Bitcoin Goes Higher

The Bulls are currently in control of the cryptocurrency market. The price of the Bitcoin has support at $7,777. The value is climbing back to $8,000 despite a slight rejection. In sync with the bullish pattern of Bitcoin, Stellar Lumens rallies by 8%. Relatively high volumes have supported the surge of XLM. Several other theories are floating around to answer the price surge of XLM.

Stellar Lumens (XLM) Inflation

The Stellar Lumens Inflationary model did not leverage as intended, and it got removed from the system.

The SDF adopted the circulating supply inflation model. The base supply inflation was set at 1% in the protocol. The XLM tokens were created and distributed every year. The newly-minted tokens got distributed in the community through “inflation destinations.” Similar to voting, the expected reaction was that the community would vote for the most promising development.

Le Calvez wrote: “Votes were tallied weekly and each inflation destination account that got voted by at least 0.05% of the supply would receive a share of the inflation pool proportional to the total balance of all its designating [accounts].”

Very few Stellar Accounts participated in this event. For all practical reasons, the feature was disabled by the Foundation. The feature allowed SDF to receive 98% of all the XLM inflationary funds. The Foundation controlled 80% of the token supply. They held themselves as the inflation destination and the primary beneficiary was a tightly-linked subsidiary. The Foundation made 5.4 billion XLM from the inflation process. The research inflation model is now considered a joke though not a scandal. It just proves that every system can go haywire in their ways sometimes.
