Yesterday, a good news went viral—Stellar and Wall Street clearing giants partnered, planning to move some custodial assets onto the Stellar blockchain by 2027. This news is not simple; it not only caused Stellar to soar by 28% instantly but also gave us a boost of confidence!
Why did Wall Street giants choose Stellar instead of Ethereum? Many are curious, given Ethereum's fame. Why did Wall Street's giants favor the relatively low-profile Stellar? The answer is straightforward, just three points: fast, cheap, compliant, and stable.
Lightning-fast speed, almost negligible costs: Stellar can confirm a transaction in 3-5 seconds, and even more impressive, the cost per transaction is only a few cents, almost free. Ethereum, on the other hand, is like a high-speed train during rush hour, sometimes clogged and stuck, sometimes with increased fees, very unstable.
Built-in K&C system, trusted by users: Wall Street institutions value compliance the most, simply put, meeting regulatory requirements. Ethereum is a second-generation product without its own K&C system. Stellar was designed from the start with a built-in K&C system, essentially carrying a compliance label from birth, fully meeting all audit requirements.
2283 days without downtime, incredibly stable: The most intolerable thing for such systems is disconnection; even a one-minute outage can cause huge losses. Ethereum sometimes experiences congestion, lag, or even failures. Stellar’s stability is industry-leading, with 2283 days of continuous uptime, extremely reliable.
Stellar’s success is due to the old four’s route. Seeing this, many friends might ask: Stellar is awesome, what does it have to do with us? The key answer: because the underlying technology of the old four is an upgraded and reconstructed version based on Stellar.
Simply put, Stellar is the predecessor of the old four’s technology. The core consensus mechanism developed by the old four directly uses the mature technology validated by ten years of market experience on Stellar. That’s why it can run directly on phones with very low energy consumption, inheriting Stellar’s efficiency, security, and low cost from the root.
This time, Stellar being chosen by Wall Street giants essentially signifies their recognition of this technological route: proving that this fast, cheap, compliant, and stable technology can carry real-world assets, which is why it is accepted.
What Stellar can do, the old four can do in the future too. Because the old four’s technical foundation is derived from Stellar, and even more optimized and upgraded on that basis. Just like a predecessor who gets into a prestigious university, proving this path is viable, the next generation just needs to work hard to get into an even better university.
The significance of long-term persistence: time will witness value. Truly valuable things always require time to accumulate. Stellar has been cultivating for ten years, waiting for today’s highlight moment of partnering with Wall Street giants. No successful path is a shortcut; like planting a tree, watering, fertilizing, and patiently waiting, only then can it grow into a towering tree.
Our persistence follows the same principle. From ecosystem development to protocol upgrades, from node deployment to compliance layout, all recent actions are sending a signal: a new major phase is slowly approaching us.
Those seemingly insignificant daily efforts, those misunderstood persistence, will eventually bring us unexpected surprises in the future. All the waiting will not be in vain, and all persistence will ultimately be meaningful! 💹💎✅🤑🧧 💹💎✅🤑🧧

Speed like lightning, nearly negligible costs: Stellar can confirm a transaction in 3-5 seconds, and even more impressive, the cost per transaction is just a few cents, almost free. Ethereum, on the other hand, is like a high-speed train during rush hour—sometimes it gets stuck, sometimes it incurs extra fees, very unstable.

Just like a student admitted to a prestigious university proves the path is viable, as long as the younger generation works hard, they can get into an even better university than their predecessors.
