Crypto News Flash: Bitcoin (BTC), Tron (TRX), Ripple and XRP, Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Stellar (XLM)

From a liquidity boost for Tron to a big win for Ripple and XRP, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Stellar (XLM), Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin (BTC)

Brian Kelly, the CEO of crypto investment firm BKCM, says Stellar has earned its spot ahead of Litecoin in market cap.

“Stellar is both a currency and a platform, so it makes sense that it is more valuable than Litecoin,” Kelly told CNBC. “The partnership with IBM is very interesting and could add even more value as they build more products on the Stellar platform.”

As for the overall market, Kelly believes the bears may have subsided. “The character of the market has appeared to have changed. For most of this year, every rally was met with aggressive selling. That has changed over the last two weeks. The potential for a currency war could be a tailwind for Bitcoin going forward.”

Crypto exchange Changelly has added Tron to its list of cryptocurrencies that can be easily bought with a bank card.
