Big ICO’s are only beginning to use Stellar
Very few coins allow you to run your own ICO on them, but Stellar makes it easy, quick and cheap. Mobius just finished their pre-sale today which allowed you to pay via many different coins. They raised $30,000,000 and was more or less an invite only system — but this is where it gets interesting; in an email send to all the pre-sale contributors the following was included:
“Our public sale will only accept Stellar Lumens (XLM).”
Once the public sale starts which is on the 18th of January, people will need to buy lumens to take part in the ICO. Mobius isn’t a small company either, they have Jed (the creator of Stellar) on board with them!

One thing that’s awful about cryptocurrency is going from fiat to cryptocurrency or vice versa. FairX recently announced that they are going to solve this problem by…you guessed it — using Stellar. They said they will:
“be using the stellar distributed exchange heavily”
