What did I miss?

[ALLINCRYPTO @RealAllinCrypto]

🚨 @Algorand just strengthened its bridge to institutional capital with @FlowTraders partnership!

Flow Traders’ is a global execution network which will make $ALGO easier for major firms to buy, sell and settle in fiat or stablecoins.

Better liquidity means easier access, tighter markets and a stronger foundation for institutional adoption for $ALGO.

[evis zenios 🛡️ @eviszen]

I can't believe that it's already 7 years.

In normal situations this is like 40 years so I guess we are in the nostalgia period of algorand:native and people will want a piece of history! 😉

[evis zenios 🛡️ @eviszen]

For everyone asking me, NO we did not sell any algorand:native from our Strategic Reserves as we are certain that Quantum Threat is nearer than we think.

Algorand is years ahead from the rest of the chains. Also our AI agents tell us that anything below $0.10 is a buy

[Celo @Celo]

Since Celo migrated to an @Ethereum L2 in March 2025, 10M+ unique addresses have transacted on the network, sending stablecoins, buying tokenized gold, swapping global currencies &amp; more!

With 469K+ daily active addresses yesterday alone, the next 10M isn't far away

[Ripio @ripiohq]

wFIAT is now live on @Celo, giving developers access to six Latin American currencies, each collateralized 1:1.

Payment apps, remittances and DeFi protocols can now price and settle in local currency, no dollar conversion in between.

[Gpissarides @GPissarides]

@MLeeJr @X @Safety Next time listen to him He's already mentioned this specific issue @MPissarides

[mleejr @MLeeJr]

really disappointing work from @X and @Safety

high profile account @ bankrbot gets hacked

hackers posting drainers and stealing money from 𝕏 users for 3 days and counting

trending on 𝕏 and calls for help everywhere on the tl

3 days later zero response

hackers still control the 𝕏 acct

founder of bankr gets doxxed on the hacked 𝕏 account

very dangerous

this is unacceptable @elonmusk and hopefully an area flagged for improvement

[deployer @0xDeployer]

either two things are happening imo. 1) there's a critical security vulnerability in X backend systems that they haven't found or 2) its an inside job.

why do i think this?

1. We had a passkey on the account, arguably one of the most secure 2FA mechanisms.

2. This is the screen we got when trying to sign in to the bankrbot X account. clicking the start button took us to a page to appeal a suspended account.

3. The attackers were still able to sign into the account to push malicious links -- the latest being long after we were already locked out of the account.

Why was it that the attackers had full access to log in and post, but we were blocked by this screen? Why weren't the attackers blocked?

4. We started getting 503 (service unavailable) errors from the X api, but the attackers had full access to sign in and post. If all sessions and keys lost access, how did the attacker still have access?

there has been a string of high profile account takeovers recently including the CEO of robinhood and even the spacex account and others who apparently also had MFA enabled on their X accounts. i would love to see this blow up and for the X team to have to be accountable for this.

[John Woods @JohnAlanWoods]

Correct.

Algorand is an exceptional L1.

~25% of liquid supply staked.

VRF providing probabilistic, yet deterministic, instantly final consensus - it’s a work of art.

The work we all did to move away from Foundation stake to a pure community led L1 makes it deathless.

[Gpissarides @GPissarides]

@algerstmehn @PeraAlgoWallet 👀 $ soon 🚀

[STEPH IS CRYPTO @Steph_iscrypto]

🚨JUST IN: $ALGO is now officially MiCA compliant and has access to Europe's €18,000,000,000,000 economy.

[Algorand @Algorand]

Algorand just won Blockchain Technology for North America at the 2026 World Finance Sustainability Awards.

The room: FedEx, United Airlines, Cargill, Ecolab.

Good company for a carbon-neutral L1.
