@therealdisasm@ADAFrog_Pool As you know, EMURGO is based here in Singapore. I’ll check this for you and get back to you. Will it be a full-day event on either the 29th or 30th?
Super exciting news!
Rakuten, Japan’s big e-commerce giant (and mobile player to boot), now lets you buy ADA through its wallet. And it gets even more interesting when you look at how huge Rakuten already is:
- Rakuten Bank alone has about 17 million customer accounts as of mid-2025.
- Dec 2024, monthly active users earning points hit over 44 million.
Putting that together, the fact that ADA is now buyable via Rakuten wallet (using or converting from Rakuten Points, etc.) means this could really open up crypto access to a lot of people who are already in Rakuten’s ecosystem.
Big potential for mainstream adoption here.
🔥 JUST IN: The SEC approves the listing and trading of Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund covering $BTC, $ETH, $XRP, $SOL and $ADA as well as p.m.-settled options on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and the Mini-Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index.
Thanks, Yuta, that’s right.
EMURGO Group won’t be voting in Fund 14. In fact, we’ve never participated in voting or applied for Catalyst funding since it began. We view the Catalyst fund as a tool designed to benefit the community🙂
As you mentioned, EMURGO Labs and EMURGO Africa are separate entities, and we don’t have control over their operations. I am sure you’re well aware of who leads EMURGO Africa and the team, and I really appreciate your clarification here🙏
