The Stellar distributed exchange model is growing, with a new platform and following trade volume rise.

The Stellar Lumens Decentralised Exchange, Stellarport, is now up and running. The Stellar distributed exchange has been active for a while now and can be accessed in various ways (such as the StellarTerm interface), but Stellarport might be one of the more convenient all-in-one options, also offering a Stellar wallet.
At the time of writing, the bulk of Stellar trading looks like XLM:MOBI pairs, but all the native Stellar ecosystem tokens are present, including Smartlands (SLT), SureRemit (RMT) and fiat currencies in the form of CNY.
You can find Stellarport here, but note that Stellarport is not part of the Stellar Foundation. It's essentially a separate company that's decided to build on the Stellar system. This is par for course, but worth noting anyway.
What is the Stellar Decentralised Exchange?
A decentralised exchange is a distributed marketplace. Users around the world hold their own funds and then trade them directly with each other as needed. The funds don't pass through the exchange and there's no intermediary. Decentralised exchanges are basically matchmaking services for users and vehicles for useful features and user interfaces.
The Stellar Decentralised Exchange is different to most decentralised exchanges, such as those that run on the Ethereum ecosystem, because there's only one "official" decentralised exchange that holds user listings, but it can be accessed in different ways.
This helps combine some of the benefits of a central trading system (high volume, deep liquidity, many options, etc) with the benefits of a decentralised system (cost-effectiveness, security, reliability).
Think of it as a magical online bazaar that's everywhere and nowhere, with different doors that lead to it. Stellarport is a brand new door, but the marketplace itself already existed. More doors mean more people might be getting into it and buying and selling there.

Stellar Lumens (XLM) and OmiseGo (OMG) both up 28% after Stripe announcement

Both coins saw near-identical price rises in the hours following Stripe's shout-out to them.
Stellar Lumens (XLM) and OmiseGo (OMG) have both seen a price rise following Stripe's mentioning of potentially incorporating them.
According to CoinMarketCap, both coins saw an extremely similar price increase of 27-28% in the 36 hours following the announcement.
Stripe was one of the first payment platforms to accept bitcoin but has since moved away from the legacy coin. Citing dwindling appetite, slow transactions, high fees and other problems it has announced plans to phase bitcoin out by April 2018.
In the same breath it also briefly mentioned OMG and Stellar, describing the former as an "ambitious and clever proposal" and the latter as a potential coin to use on the platform "if substantive use continues to grow."
It's not possible to ascribe these prices rises entirely to Stripe's announcement, but it almost certainly played a part. The coins both followed identical patterns over the next 36 hours, starting the day of the announcement, and ended up increasing by almost the exact same amount.
These movements were echoed in the 24-hour trade volume, which continued to trend downwards for both coins even after the price started rising but then increased considerably in the coming hours.
