- Curve Finance Expands to Stellar, Marking First EVM-Exclusive Deployment — this brief
Curve Finance, a prominent decentralized exchange for stablecoins, has expanded its reach by launching on the 
Stellar blockchain. This marks the platform's first native deployment outside the 
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, opening up new opportunities for users and developers on the Stellar network.
The deployment comes at a time when Stellar's DeFi ecosystem is showing signs of growth, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) increasing by 19.7% over the past week to $229.43 million, according to DeFiLlama. In contrast, Curve's TVL has experienced a slight decline of 3.2% over the same period, currently standing at $1.27 billion.
The move to Stellar could potentially attract new users and liquidity to the platform, as it taps into a different user base and blockchain environment. This expansion could also bolster Stellar's DeFi offerings, making it a more attractive option for users seeking alternatives to the EVM ecosystem.
The broader crypto market remains in a state of flux, with the total market cap at $2.76 trillion and 
Bitcoin experiencing a 1.46% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite this, Ethereum and Stellar have seen relatively stable price movements, with ETH at $2324.11 and XLM at $0.169817, respectively.
The deployment on Stellar could be a strategic move for Curve Finance to diversify its platform and reduce dependency on the EVM ecosystem. As the DeFi landscape continues to evolve, further integrations and deployments across different blockchains may become increasingly common.

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 ETH ≈ ₹240,383.93 (about $2,322.55), down 1.6% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
