Stellar derives its value from its use cases. The platform is anonymous, decentralised, irreversible and can be neither devalued nor confiscated. The developers of the platform argue that Stellar fulfils all the requirements of money, namely being a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account, without many of the disadvantages associated with fiat currencies. The Stellar Development Foundation suggests that Stellar is a better form of money than traditional currencies.
