Why did IBM choose Stellar?

Stellar(XLM) is an entirely decentralized consensus network with a built-in decentralized exchange that supports all kinds of cryptocurrencies and assets.

It seems nothing special about stellar from the profile, but why did IBM choose it rather than other Gateaway-Coin? It must have its advantage. It is obvious that Ripple prevails in the battle of Stellar vs Ripple about the agreement. A financial agreement is worthless without banks, users and international ports. However, Ripple is far-sighted, because it has joined NACHA and recruited Chris Larsen and Prosper from E-loan. What’s more, Ripple obtained the usage agreement of the German bank, Fidor. Adapting to the current financial system, Ripple succeeded, but why did IBM choose stellar?

Stellar Network is developed based on Ripple, which was improved according to the technology of Bitcoin and Ripple, especially the consensus mechanisms and verification algorithms. The node performance to operate the Stellar network is improved, and the requirement of node resource are low. Among the improvements, the biggest change is the support algorithm of the stellar payment system, SCP, which claimed to be the safest Byzantine algorithm.

Stellar blockchain was chosen is not an accident. LeTV cooperated with stellar is the beginning of cross-border payment. Except for Stallar, it is said Ripple was also chosen by bank as a Gateaway Coin, which reveals that Gateaway Coins are more popular from the perspective of bank.

Stellar is an open source license for money transfer, running the client software through the server to achieve protocol operation and connecting with other stellar servers for communication, which forms a network for global value exchange. Each server stores the record of all “stellar accounts” on the network, which are stored in a database called ledger. The server amends the ledger by making a transaction and transfers funds from one area to another by paying the balance of the account or changing the property of the account. When stellar was just launched, XLM was based on the protocol of Ripple. However,  after several times of modifications to the key consensus code, XLM network has forked. Afterwards, the co-founder of stellar, Joyce Kim claimed that this is a defect in the Ripple protocol. The Stellar Development Foundation then created a new protocol based on the new code. XEM price  today had a decreasing trend in general. By 22 nd , May, slumping by 5.16%, the price r
