More than half of these tokenized RWAs live on Ethereum mainnet

This is such a huge development. CSD Access is such a massive unlock for Kenya! Years in the making no doubt, congrats to all involved.

Clearstream has given more details on its Kenya market link, set to open on 29 June 2026.

—The link gives institutional investors access to Kenyan Government bonds, infrastructure bonds and Treasury bills through a unique omnibus account structure.

—Kenya becomes Clearstream’s 60th domestic market link and its second in Africa after South Africa.

—Clearstream says it is the only International Central Securities Depository currently offering access to Kenya, with Standard Chartered Kenya acting as its KES cash correspondent bank and local custodian with the CBK.

—The link is expected to simplify foreign investor access, support collateral management and FX services, and deepen liquidity in Kenya’s domestic debt market.

@AmbokoJH @VivoFashionGrp IPO ready!!!

[tonyolendo.eth @tonyolendo]

@Kodakjagaban It’s giving xenophobia. Compete on merit, show love to your Naija bros, I’m 10x the better founder because of the competition.

[Umar @0xumarkhatab]

So guys, It has been 1 year at @ViFi_Labs ❤️

What a year ( the year went soo fast )

Learned massive set of things i.e FX markets, more depth in smart contract engineering, and the DeFi economics side that is the backbone of any financial protocol.

Huge thanks to @varounsvlogs and @tonyolendo

genuinely the best founders I could've landed with.

I always wondered if I'd find a place that felt right and that aligns with my mission, ViFi is that place.

Got to shoulder core protocol development from zero

turning math docs and Python sims into working Solidity, then maturing it toward MVP with a focus on security, gas optimization, and AI-assisted auditing to catch issues early. Still deep in it, can't wait to ship for audits and when we do , i hope we will give some good piece to you guys.

Loving the mission: bringing FX on-chain, the right way.

Let's goooo 🚀

@0xumarkhatab @ViFi_Labs It’s been a great year, glad to have you onboard and we definitely appreciate your work ethic. Almost there, time to lock in and finalize.

Countries need to tokenize their stocks, allowing worldwide buyers. (RWA)

Countries need to issue their own stablecoin(s), to expand their currency's usage on the blockchain.

I love builders who have zero understanding of the markets and are not afraid to demonstrate this publicly. Massive respect.

[Fede’s intern 🥊 @fede_intern]

Tom Lee didn't save anything. I'm glad he's buying ETH, but long term price is downstream of whether the thing is real, useful, and credibly neutral. If your model of Ethereum is that it survives because a whale shows up at the right moment, you've already conceded there's nothing underneath when there clearly is.

This is why you can't hand the chain to VCs whose time horizon is their fund's, or to podcasters whose incentive is to be cool and famous rather than correct.

Dual token mechanism… sounds familiar @varounsvlogs

[Ethereum Daily @ETH_Daily]

🔥 Vitalik recently shared a new idea for building stablecoins on Ethereum.

Instead of the current way — where you deposit ETH, borrow dollars against it, and risk getting liquidated if the price drops — he suggests splitting the ETH into two tokens. One token works like a stable dollar with much lower risk of big losses. The other token takes the upside when ETH goes up. These two tokens always add up to the original ETH, so there’s no debt and no forced liquidation when prices fall.

This approach could become a new trend in DeFi. It trades a small amount of price drift for a much safer and simpler system that doesn’t rely on constant price monitoring or sudden liquidations.

Ethereum has always moved forward because of people and teams willing to try new ideas early. We need more projects experimenting with concepts like this to help the ecosystem grow stronger.

Never been easier to spin up apps like it has now. Distribution is the moat!!

[Stan Trenev @sstrenev]

I felt bored and vibe-coded a neobank in a week. The best part? You don’t even realize it runs entirely on crypto rails under the hood.

Main functionalities:

- On/off-ramp fiat to stables via BridgeXYZ
- Send, receive, and request stablecoin payments on Base
- Deploy funds to selected blue-chip DeFi protocols
- Get a free Gnosis Pay crypto debit card

All of this is powered by account abstraction and non-custodial wallets.

Users receive a Privy wallet upon registration and never have to worry about signing transactions or approvals.

Transactions are sponsored and batched via EIP-7702, so no separate token approvals are required either.

In a nutshell: one-click access to stablecoin transactions sent directly to users via email, plus seamless entry into DeFi.

Tech stack:

- BridgeXYZ – on/off-ramp fiat to stables
- Privy – non-custodial wallets
- EIP-7702 – transaction batching and sponsoring
- iOS app built with React Native
- LIFI API – swapping between USDC and EURC
- Resend – email notifications
- DeFi protocols: Aave, Morpho, Compound, and YO
- Gnosis Pay API – virtual crypto debit cards
- NodeJs Backend

Inspired by @alliance's request for startups.

If you want to check it out, let me know so I can add you to TestFlight.

I've been building DeFi for almost a decade and we went from zero to here:

- Over 300b stablecoins issued onchain
- Protocols that actually make revenue, all verifiable onchain
- Billions in stablecoins yielding interest directly onchain
- More safer ways to trade or lend (no ftx custody risk)
- Embedded wallets that bring more users and are easy to integrate (i.e. Privy)
- Fintechs and e-commerce platforms issuing stablecoins (PyUSD, SoFi, Western Union, Moneygram)
- Big fintech involvement (Stripe with Tempo)
- Fintechs integrating defi (i.e. Whop integrating Aave)
- Almost all relevant major banks and asset managers have digital asset teams and also working on tokenization, stablecoins and defi (Fidelity, BlackRock etc)
- Genious act regulating stable coins and removing uncertainty to enable fintechs and TradFi to participate
- Clarity act coming, creating more certainty for crypto and defi
- AI tools for defi security hardening and improved overall development process since early days
- EU has MiCA certainty and UK following up
- Banks banking crypto (Erebor etc) and better onramping

The industry progress has been real, and will take of course years to come to see full adoption. We are closer now than ever before, yet moving 8 billion people onchain will take time.

I think that we are in front of a moment where underlying tech is starting out-phases the crypto-native assets. It make sense for stablecoins to have bigger market caps that Bitcoin and Ethereum as world is moving onchain over time. Same thing will happen with trading and lending as more assets are tokenized and will grow directly onchain. This is net good for the ecosystem.

It seems that fintech and tradfi is doubling down on blockchain like never before.

The best way to progress is by building, and we have some of the smartest builders in the space, true believers that build with a real mission are still here.

At some point crypto, defi, stablecoins, rwas are doing to be just called finance. No tribalism, no drama just boring tech that works and scales.

There’s a lot about this Superteam expansion that feels different. More institutional, more thought out; less vibes, more strategy. The blockchain industry has changed from its indie roots and hearing the Solana Foundation team speak absolutely reflected that.

[Harri @Harri_obi]

While others are exiting, Superteam is expanding 🫡

Visa is for vibe coders.

Anyone can spin up an app and any API can become a merchant.

Starting today we’re onboarding x402 and MPP merchant endpoints into Visa CLI so APIs, LLMs, data products, and dev tools can be discovered and purchased by verified agents with cards on file.

If you’re building an x402 or MPP endpoint, or want Visa to help you stand one up, sign up below.

We’re also opening Visa CLI to initial users in the US. DM me for an invite.

OpSec failure is a weakness of CeDeFi, not DeFi.

@StaniKulechov He’s farming attention. I know we have to respond but the code speaks for itself.
