<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) invested $3 million worth of Stellar lumens in Latin American cross-border payment and exchange platform Settle Network. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The investment is intended to bolster Settle's stablecoin-centered payment tools. Settle Network recently launched StableX, a stablecoin exchange, with the goal of building a Latin American foothold in the fiat-to-crypto market as well as in its home in Argentina. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When we started Settle, we chose to build on Stellar because its technology is designed for global interoperability and that has enabled us to create a thriving stablecoin business in LATAM and expand our product offering to launch the world’s first stablecoin exchange and stablecoin gateway, StableX,” Pablo Orlando, CEO of Settle Network, said in a press statement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This investment marks the fourth from the SDF Enterprise Fund this fiscal year. A total of $9.3 million was given to DSTOQ, Abra, SatoshiPay, and now Settle Network. </span></p>
