April 9, 2026. Gradually, then suddenly.

When we started @Celo, the bet was simple: build financial infrastructure for everyone, not just speculators. Mobile-first, stablecoin-native, optimized for the places where better payments actually change lives @Opera believed in that from the start. Nearly five years ago they saw what we saw and built @MiniPay into a self-custodial stablecoin wallet with 14M+ users across 66 countries and 420M+ transactions This proposal moves Opera from a distribution partner to a network stakeholder with a 160M CELO allocation, making Opera's incentives more aligned with Celo's and vice versa. I probably don't have to tell you how big of a deal that is The jobs not done yet though. Next up, 50M Opera browser users are positioned to redeem USDT rewards within MiniPay. Roadshows in Vietnam and the Philippines start next month The path to a multi billion-dollar onchain economy is getting concrete

I've spent nearly a decade working toward one goal: send money anywhere, 24/7, instantly, cheaply. @Celo @opera + @minipay are building a global Venmo that actually feels like Venmo, but stablecoins under the hood with self-custody intact. 400k+ verified users aren't lying. Wrote the full breakdown with @austincampbell on exactly what they're getting right, and where the gaps are. Study it if you share the goal. 👇

Glad to see Argentinian users getting value from @Minipay Fun fact: @Celo (the rails that Minipay runs on) was built with a lot of 💛 by many Argentinian team members

Has anyone else seen onramps this instant? I’m impressed! Which app / country / rail is as good as this? I need benchmarks.

No complexity. No accident. 10/10 was caused by irresponsible marketing campaigns by certain companies. On October 10, tens of billions of dollars were liquidated. As CEO of OKX, we observed clearly that the crypto market’s microstructure fundamentally changed after that day. Many industry participants believe the damage was more severe than the FTX collapse. Since then, there has been extensive discussion about why it happened and how to prevent a recurrence. The root causes are not difficult to identify. ⸻ What actually happened 1.Binance launched a temporary user-acquisition campaign offering 12% APY on USDe, while allowing USDe to be used as collateral with the same treatment as USDT and USDC, and without effective limits. 2.USDe is a tokenized hedge fund product. Ethena raises capital via a so-called “stablecoin,” deploys it into index arbitrage and algorithmic trading strategies, and tokenizes the resulting fund. The token can then be deposited on exchanges to earn yield. 3.USDe is fundamentally different from products such as BlackRock BUIDL and Franklin Templeton BENJI, which are tokenized money market funds with low-risk profiles. USDe, by contrast, embeds hedge-fund-level risk. This difference is structural, not cosmetic. 4.Binance users were encouraged to convert USDT and USDC into USDe to earn attractive yields, without sufficient emphasis on the underlying risks. From a user’s perspective, trading with USDe appeared no different from trading with traditional stablecoins—while the actual risk profile was materially higher. 5.Risk escalated further as users: •converted USDT/USDC into USDe, •used USDe as collateral to borrow USDT, •converted the borrowed USDT back into USDe, •and repeated the cycle. This leverage loop produced artificial APYs of 24%, 36%, and even 70%+, widely perceived as “low risk” simply because they were offered by a major platform. Systemic risk accumulated rapidly across the global crypto market. 6.At that point, even a small market shock was sufficient to trigger a collapse. When volatility hit, USDe depegged quickly. Cascading liquidations followed, and weaknesses in risk management around assets such as WETH and BNSOL further amplified the crash. Some tokens briefly traded near zero. The damage to global users and companies—including OKX customers—was severe, and recovery will take time. ⸻ Why this matters I am discussing the root cause, not assigning blame or launching an attack on Binance. Speaking openly about systemic risks is sometimes uncomfortable, but it is necessary if the industry is to mature responsibly. I expect there may be significant misinformation and coordinated FUD directed at OKX in the near future. Even so, speaking honestly about systemic risk is the right thing to do—and we will continue to do so. As the largest global platform, Binance has outsized influence—and corresponding responsibility—as an industry leader. Long-term trust in crypto cannot be built on short-term yield games, excessive leverage, or marketing practices that obscure risk. The industry needs leaders who prioritize market stability, transparency, and responsible innovation—not a winner-take-all mentality where criticism is treated as hostility. Crypto is still early. What we choose to normalize today will determine whether this industry earns lasting trust—or repeats the same mistakes again.

@Cybercent @BloctoApp @hleetw 🥹

@BloctoApp End of an era my friends ! 💙 Good luck with your next adventure @hleetw !

[The End of an Era: Important Announcement Regarding the Future of Blocto] To our valued community, After five incredible years serving over 2 million users, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the sunset of Blocto Wallet services. Since Day 1, our mission was simple yet ambitious: to craft the most newbie-friendly wallet in the world, one capable of onboarding millions to Web3. And together, we achieved that. Back when EOA wallets were the only option, Blocto pioneered email and social login solutions, along with our SDK, making blockchain interaction easier than ever before. As the earliest supporter of Flow, Blocto built the ecosystem’s major infrastructure, including Blocto Wallet, BloctoSwap, Blocto Teleport, and BloctoBay. We also established the most utilized FLOW delegation node. We have worked alongside top-notch projects and served millions of you, and for that, we are immensely proud. The Difficult Reality However, focusing solely on building great products is not always sustainable. As the $FLOW price declined from nearly $40 in 2021 to below $0.30 today—a drop of over 99%—Blocto has been operating at a significant loss. For the past several years, we have absorbed over $5.5 million in losses to keep our services running for the community. Even as market conditions worsened, we upheld our commitment, ensuring that users' assets remained secure and accessible. But this could not last forever. Recognizing that our operating capital was running low, we began attempting to engage the Flow/Dapper leadership in June of this year. After 6 months of persistent effort, we have not been granted a single leadership meeting. Every email exchange took weeks, while we continued to burn through our remaining runway. During these months, we received neither explicit support nor the opportunity for a constructive discussion on a sustainable path forward. Now, we simply do not have the capital to continue absorbing these costs. We deeply regret informing our community of this outcome. Blocto’s journey as a wallet provider ends here. Service Changes & Critical Actions Required Please read the following details carefully, as they affect your assets. 1. Blocto Wallet, Swap, & Teleport are Sunsetting Effective December 18, 2025, at 7:00 PM PST (the sunset date), Blocto Wallet, BloctoSwap, and Blocto Teleport will discontinue operations. 2. Blocto Staking Service Remains Operational Please be assured that the Blocto Staking Service (our node) is unaffected and will remain up and running. Your staked assets are completely safe. To continue managing them, you only need to import your Blocto Wallet private key into another wallet service. There is no need to unstake your FLOW. Doing so would cause the loss of your FLOW staking reward. 🛑 Critical Actions Required Before Dec 18, 2025, 7:00PM PST: Withdraw Liquidity: If you have liquidity in BloctoSwap, withdraw all deposited liquidity immediately. Bridge Assets: If you hold tUSDT (Flow), go to Blocto Teleport and bridge it back to Ethereum immediately. ⚠️ Warning: Failure to complete these withdrawals before the sunset date may result in a permanent loss of access to these specific assets. For Custodial Mode Users: Action Required Before Dec 18, 2025, 7:00PM PST Migrate Your Wallet: To ensure the safety and control of your assets, you MUST manually export your private key by switching to Non-Custodial Mode before Dec 18, 2025, 7:00PM PST. How: Download the Blocto App, update to the latest version, and follow the in-app instructions to complete. Note: If you do not complete this manually before the sunset date, you WILL LOSE ACCESS to your wallet permanently. Security Warning: The Blocto team will never ask for your private key under any circumstances. Do not share your key with anyone. Only import your private key into trusted and verified wallet services. Please be aware that if you share your private key with a malicious party, your assets may be stolen, and we cannot recover them or provide support. Final Words We want to express our deepest gratitude to our users, investors, partners, and friends. Without you, Blocto could never have come this far. Even as this chapter closes, we want to say thank you. It is you who made this journey memorable. Sincerely, The Blocto Team

Zcash tried to make private payments global Celo and Opera are actually doing it, building a network used by millions every day This might be the most underrated comeback story in crypto 👇

@Ledger @Celo Nice! 👀

🔒Secure your @Celo tokens with Ledger Wallet! Tokens like USDT, cUSD, and cEUR on Celo are now directly supported on Ledger Wallet.
