Toronto based StellarX is a decentralized crypto exchange, which was taken over by Coinsquare, another Canadian company, earlier in February this year. It is based on the consensus protocol created by Stellar Development Foundation backed InterStellar. XLM is backed by the US Dollar, which has been among the top projects in terms of adoption by finance companies.
However, the token is lagging far behind XRP and SWIFT in terms of liquidity. It has also had a bittersweet relationship with leading exchanges like Binance, which has furthered hurdles for the users. Listing on StellarX DEX will give some relief, though the exchange itself is infamous for lack of liquidity.
