Honored to have spoken at the premier Africa Blockchain Festival 2025 in Kigali, an incredible event that brought together delegates from across the world, highlighting Africa’s growing influence in the blockchain space. I joined the panel discussion on “The Future of Work,” speaking about the rise of grassroots communities empowering young Africans with real world digital skills and mentorship. While hands-on, localized, and community driven learning is making real progress, we still need to address outdated curricula, limited resources, and the gap between learning and jobs through sustained ecosystem support. Aptos highlighted, the next generation blockchain enabling the world where values, assets, and ideas can thrive. It was awesome having Aptos presence at the event, with our exhibition booth showcasing what’s possible when technology meets opportunity. The energy and curiosity from attendees were simply motivating. Great work and congrats to @Olubxnmi, @InfluencerDee, and the entire ABF team for putting together such a well organized and impactful experience. The future of blockchain in Africa is bright, and @Aptos will be at the forefront!

Nearly 60% USDT ownership. Dollar-denominated savings aren't optional when your local currency loses value daily. 🔹 USDC is catching up. In Colombia, South Africa, US, Germany, and Brazil, USDC ownership actually exceeds USDT. The regulated stablecoin is gaining ground. USDT still leads globally. But the gap is narrowing fast.

TOP 10 FACTS ABOUT DECIBEL MAINNET MASSIVE LAUNCH 🔊 🔊 🔊 @DecibelTrade officially launched its mainnet on February 26, 2026, marking a major shift for on-chain derivatives. Here are the top 10 facts about @DecibelTrade you probably don't know. 🌟1. Incubated by Aptos Labs 🧪 Decibel isn't just another DEX on @Aptos; it was co-developed and incubated by the team at @AptosLabs to push the boundaries of what high-speed, on-chain trading looks like. 🌟2. Massive Testnet Success 📈 Before the mainnet even went live, the platform saw incredible engagement: 700,000+ unique accounts and over 1 million daily trades during its testnet phase. 🌟3. ​$58 Million in Pre-Deposits 💰 Talk about day-one confidence. Users committed over $58 million in capital during the pre-deposit campaign, ensuring deep liquidity from the first second of the launch. 🌟4. 100% On-Chain Execution ⛓️ Unlike many competitors that use off-chain matching, @DecibelTrade operates a fully on-chain Central Limit Order Book (CLOB). Every order, match, and settlement is public and verifiable. 🌟5. ​X-Chain Account System 🌉 Frictionless onboarding is a priority. Traders can fund their accounts directly from Ethereum, Solana, or Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) without jumping through complex bridging hoops. 🌟6. ​Powered by "usDCBL" 💵 The platform features its own protocol-native stablecoin, usDCBL, issued via Stripe’s Bridge. It is fully backed by cash and U.S. Treasuries, serving as the default collateral. 🌟7. ​Institutional-Grade Speed ⚡ By leveraging @Aptos’s parallel execution, Decibel achieves sub-50ms block times. This means the platform feels like a centralized exchange while keeping the transparency of DeFi. 🌟8. ​"Amps" Points Program ⚡️ Launch Day coincided with the rollout of Season 1 of the Amps program. Unlike traditional volume-based rewards, Amps focus on qualitative factors like leverage usage and position duration. 🌟9. ​Protection Against MEV 🛡️ The infrastructure includes an encrypted mempool, which significantly reduces the risk of front-running and MEV, ensuring a fairer playing field for retail traders. 🌟10. ​A Future Beyond Perps 🗺️ While the launch focuses on perpetuals, the roadmap is ambitious. @DecibelTrade plans to expand into spot markets, real-world assets (RWA), and FX products throughout 2026.
