The case for private stablecoins has never been stronger.

Today, we're thrilled to release a landmark white paper that explains how privacy is the missing layer that makes blockchain payment rails viable for mainstream institutional use.

The GENIUS Act presents the opportunity for widespread stablecoin adoption. But public blockchains expose every transaction, permanently, hindering adoption.

Payroll. Treasury. Vendor payments. All of it broadcast to the world.

Existing solutions fall short and carry too much risk for institutions to engage.

The industry has been stuck.

But today that changes.

This paper presents a new path forward: permissionless, private stablecoin architecture built on Aleo, using zero-knowledge technology and programmable smart contracts.

Financial privacy and institutional risk management are not in tension. They're built from the same foundation, with programmable risk mitigation that lets institutions transact privately without compromise.

Behind this paper is a team that has spent careers at the intersection of cryptography, policy, and financial systems.

Aleo's Global Head of Policy @SignCurve, Valerie-Leila Jaber of the @crypto_council for Innovation and former Global Head of Financial Crime Compliance at Coinbase, and @matthew_d_green, cryptographer and Johns Hopkins University computer science professor, bring a rare combination of hands-on experience in private payments, financial regulation, and zero-knowledge cryptography.

This is a big deal. Not just for Aleo, but for institutional finance as a whole.

Private payments just got a whole lot easier.

@dynamic_xyz, a @FireblocksHQ company, just became the first wallet provider in the world to support private payments through an embedded wallet, enabled by @AleoHQ.

No extensions. No seed phrases. Just login with an email and pay anyone, anywhere privately, available now to all Aleo and Dynamic builders..

Building wallet infrastructure has been a major barrier for mainstream businesses adopting private payment protocols. Dynamic on Aleo solves this.

Teams can now integrate private payments without building infra from scratch.

Enterprise-grade security combined with real privacy.

Aleo doesn't need to imagine 🤫

Aleo x Ledger is now live

Huge win for privacy!

[Aleo @AleoHQ]

Aleo is the first blockchain to support shielded transactions on @Ledger 🛡️

For years, this gap has been an open problem.

Hardware wallets were originally built for transparent chains, not private execution.

Shielded transactions require generating zero-knowledge proofs over private state, a fundamentally different signing flow.

After working closely with Ledger to adapt their architecture this feature is now live.

Available across 7M+ devices.

Until now, hardware wallets secured keys, but not privacy. This created new risks for large holders by exposing balances and activity.

That tradeoff is gone.

"At Ledger, our foundation is built on uncompromising security. This partnership with Aleo represents a pivotal moment, merging our hardware-based security with their zero-knowledge cryptography."
— @P3b7_, CTO, Ledger

[Shield @ShieldApp]

Leo Wallet is being deprecated. Shield is what comes next 🛡️

Provable acquired Leo Wallet in 2025, and since then, the team has been building Shield as the primary wallet for Aleo.

Shield is now live on iOS, Android, and Chrome and migrating is simple.

@AleoHQ See you all there!

A new model of aid is being piloted in Colombia.

In partnership with @mercycorps / @MCSocialVenture & @GSR_io / @foundation_gsr, @HumLinked have built a solution that leverages Aleo’s privacy technology to deliver private stablecoin donations to displaced communities, protecting personal data and preserving dignity throughout the process.

Unlike other crypto donation platforms that broadcast transactions on public ledgers, this solution enables organizations to verify eligibility and distribute aid without exposing sensitive information about recipients.

Two pilots are underway, first with the dedicated team at @DRC_ngo, and soon with @GOAL_Global, to send private donations to people in need.

With USDCx on Aleo, a stablecoin backed by @USDC in @Circle xReserve, the team can securely validate eligibility while protecting the identity and safety of those receiving aid. To ensure the program is as inclusive as possible, recipients can register for donations via WhatsApp and redeem their funds simply by using QR codes.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to support this important work. You can learn more about this initiative below.

Show some love to the Crypto Castle by @vivford

Viv and her team cooked & delivered one of the best comedy series about crypto

I was very lucky to watch some of the episodes early

Super proud of you, Viv

[Viv Ford @vivford]

I accidentally moved into The Crypto Castle with crypto bros in 2015. Bitcoin was $250. I lived there for four years.

We turned it into a comedy series.

@Drimartist @AleoHQ @ShieldApp Private payroll is huge 🔥

[Eugene @eug33ne]

Looking for the most private wallet?

- It's @ShieldApp

By a few clicks, you can turn public tokens into private ones

This is how you get access to @AleoHQ's real use case

This is how you get access to privacy by default
