The Masumi and CF teams have been working to adopt the latest payments framework x402 on Cardano, which is particularly applicable to agent-to-agent payments challenges. Anyone can use Web3 and pay in a simple and seamless way! Congratulations to everyone involved.

We have big news to share: Today the x402 foundation has officially merged the Pull Request to add a Cardano Specification of x402 into the repository. This means Cardano is now officially an x402 chain. And even better: They have also accepted the Masumi Smart Contract and potentially other Smart Contracts as an optional addition to the standard. This now makes x402 on Cardano more powerful than x402 on most other chains because it supports: 1) Identity 2) Refunds & Disputes 3) Decision Logging 4) Registry and more. We want to give a big shoutout to Fabian from the Cardano Foundation who has spearheaded this 6+ month effort the whole way, improving the Pull Request & talking to Coinbase and the x402 Foundation. Additionally we want to shoutout Karsten Siebert who has built the first x402 integration on Cardano and was vital in the discussions around the standard.

Anzens CEO @Shantnoo6 joined @cnbcafrica for an exclusive interview on how we're partnering with @CreditBankPLC to bring $USDA, a regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin, into a licensed commercial bank's cross-border settlement services. In the interview, Shantnoo touches on the Anzens mission: to bring real value to SMEs and individuals who need access to modern financial services the most. The African continent has among the most predatory settlement rates on the globe. Not anymore. "And I always believe, we as a company, we have a common vision, if we cannot pass on the benefit of technology, i.e., blockchain, to the end customer, we are failing in our responsibility of making sure we bring scalable products for companies and institutions all over the world."

HYDRA: #Cardano $ADA Founder Charles Hoskinson says "Hydra is a means to an end. A person will use Hydra in DeltaDeFi to make it a good DEX, with Glacier Drop to facilitate a large airdrop, with Hydra events to power a fast vending machine, with Hydra DOOM to play a video game."

Pogun brings Bitcoin DeFi and Bitcoin staking to Cardano, bootstrapping millions in BTC through USDCx + USDM via RealFi. As Bitcoin faces a post-quantum path that could push throughput below 1 TPS, Pogun positions Cardano as the scalable home for Bitcoin liquidity.

GM Cardano! Atlas is coming @ATLAS_DEFI_ Atlas introduces a stablecoin-first, vault-based liquidity model, replacing fragmented and asset-specific collateral systems with a unified base layer. Users deposit stablecoins such as USDCx, USDM, and USDA, which underpin all trading activity across the protocol. By standardizing collateral, Atlas eliminates exposure to unrelated asset volatility and ensures that protocol liabilities remain consistently aligned with underlying value. All trading is executed against a shared liquidity Vault, rather than relying on fragmented liquidity pools, traditional order books, or external market makers. This unified approach aggregates capital into a single pool, enabling deep liquidity, efficient capital utilization, and consistent execution across all supported markets. As a result, traders can open leveraged long and short positions on assets such as ADA, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and more using the same underlying liquidity. In contrast, liquidity providers earn yield directly from real trading activity.

I am a massive fan of Cardano for a long time now. The technology and engineering pulled me in - now we are building with Masumi on Cardano for almost 1,5 years ourselves. And we constantly deliver what we promise and build AI products used by hundreds of real-world companies already. I talked over the years to many of our clients about „Why Cardano“ and explained why this blockchain is the only serious option for enterprise use-cases. When I explain Cardano in my own words, people get excited, ask good questions, see the benefits and are genuinely surprised that they either have never heard of Cardano or had a completely different and mostly false idea of it. And that needs to change. And you can change this through good communication and by breaking out of the crypto bubble on X. You need to get Cardano positioned in front of business leaders and shape a perception and narrative about Cardano which not just resonates with them, but enforces our strengths as an ecosystem. The timing is perfect for this. Never has there been more anxiety across business leaders about digital sovereignty, security, traceability of all things digital & AI. They are all ears to understand what blockchain has to offer. I would like to encourage you to read the linked PDF below: it shows you our thinking - which is btw already the result of engaging with not just all three founding entities, but also with the GMC, the community and many well known individuals from the community. I think you can tell we not just did our homework, but we have already put in an considerable upfront investment. We have skin in the game on many different levels. Not just by the pure time invested into this proposal, but even more so by being committed to build on Cardano, to recommend Cardano and bring our clients with us. We are absolute amazed by the attention this proposal has been getting over the last 24+ hours and I can tell you we read and consider every feedback and comment. So thanks for reviewing our proposal 🙏 I know it’s a lot to go through. But also absolutely worth it to take a deeper look. drive.google.com/file/d/1Mrq7FN…

Cardano metrics update. Perps are currently leading. $14.38m weekly volume, up 100.49% on the weekly change. DEX volume is following. $7.96m over 7 days, up 11.58% on the weekly change. TVL is moving but slower. $135.09m, but still up 1.57% in 24h. @MinswapDEX achieving a 7 day spot volume increase of +37.03% @SundaeSwap achieving a 7 day spot volume increase of +36.78% @Indigo_protocol achieving a 3.72% TVL increase in the last 7 days. @strikeperps achieving a 2.81% TVL increase in the last day. @DanoFinance achieving a massive 55.83% TVL in the last 30 days. @FluidTokens achieving a 1.84% TVL increase in the last day. @MinswapDEX Monthly fee generation hitting an impressive $209,306. @wingriderscom Spot volume in the last 7 days hit $1.45m which is up +12.92%.

Onboarding is where traceability either works or breaks. This is where identity is defined, locations are anchored, and relationships between actors are established. When these elements are captured correctly, the system holds together. Article below!

Finally for the first time, use your stable coin as payment anywhere Visa is accepted NBX and Usdm are quietly assembling a full loop: 🔷 Flip = non-custodial wallet layer 🔷 USDM = stablecoin rail 🔷 Visa Flex = global spend Here’s the simple flow: 🔷 Hold it in Flip (non-custodial, no bank required) 🔷 Spend anywhere Visa is accepted No off-ramp friction. No dependency on traditional banking rails. This is effectively: 🔷 Hold 🔷 Earn 🔷 Spend You are now free to do what you want, when you want and finally where you want. @USDMOfficial @nbxcom @The_Flip_App

FACT: Cardano is the most decentralized blockchain in the world.

Everyone is mocking me for Cardano. I won’t stop. They’re attacking me on X because I still believe in $ADA and in everything Cardano is and stands for. That’s perfectly fine, let them attack. But it’s also my right to ignore every distraction and keep buying. I’ll keep believing in Cardano and keep ignoring all the noise, all the hate, all the FUD. Time will show who ends up laughing and who was on the right side of this #crypto history...

Ok, I'm officially announcing: the most decentralized blockchain in the world is Cardano.
