- MetaMask Integrates Stellar Network as Default for 30 Million Users — this brief
On October 29, MetaMask announced the integration of the 
Stellar network as a default option for its mobile and extension users, providing access to Stellar's ecosystem to its 30 million users.
Users can now create Stellar addresses directly within MetaMask, enabling them to hold, send, and swap XLM, 
USDC, and Soroban tokens seamlessly. This integration is part of MetaMask's broader effort to expand its supported networks and enhance interoperability across different blockchains.
The development is corroborated by multiple outlets, including TronWeekly and AMBCrypto, which both confirm the activation of Stellar on MetaMask's platforms. However, they differ slightly in their emphasis: TronWeekly highlights the coinciding institutional activity, while AMBCrypto focuses on the user experience benefits.
The integration comes at a time when the total crypto market cap is $2.68 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a 4.20% drop in the past 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index remains at 30, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment in the market.
Stellar's native token, XLM, is currently priced at $0.162234, having fallen 5.72% in the last 24 hours and 7.21% over the past week. In contrast, USDC has remained relatively stable, with a market cap of $71.15 billion and minimal price movement.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, USDC (USDC) has moved from $0.999 to $0.9991 — +0.01%.
The chart plots USDC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDC ≈ ₦1,377.51 (about $0.9991), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
