Like every day until Christmas, I'm sharing a reason to be bullish on #Algorand in 2025.
I'm also giving away 20 $ALGO daily to a random person who likes, follows me, and RT! 🎁🎅
Day 1⃣8⃣: Algorand is being massively adopted across an entire country (and soon others!)
Let me talk about probably one of the #web3 projects that makes the least noise on CT, yet has real-world impact at scale and has seen massive growth in 2024, which is set to accelerate even further in 2025! 🔥
👉 @HesabPay_, 100% powered by #Algorand, is today the number 1 mobile app in Afghanistan (42M+ inhabitants) for digital payments! 🇦🇫
We're talking about millions of users who use it in their everyday lives to make payments (purchases, bill payments…) or to access a wide range of financial services.
It's the go-to app! 📱
To give you a concrete example of its current adoption: today, 30% of ALL electricity bills in Afghanistan are paid monthly via HesabPay, on Algorand.
Yes, 30% of an entire country's energy bills! 🤯
All on $ALGO.
In total, that's over $40M in on-chain volume flowing through $ALGO, equivalent to nearly half a billion dollars per year! And this is just the beginning! 📈
Using @HesabPay_ is a massive game changer for millions of people, especially in countries like Afghanistan, where over 90% of the population (as of 2021) is unbanked, yet most of them own a smartphone!
➡️ The need for fast, cheap, secure, and transparent payments is real.
Blockchain is a huge opportunity for them, giving them more autonomy and access to services they've always been excluded from, due to being outside traditional banking systems.
It's worth noting that there's NO friction for users, as the blockchain and its complexity are completely invisible! ✅
Everything is handled by @HesabPay_ to make the user experience as smooth and simple as possible.
One of the most incredible use cases for HesabPay is delivering humanitarian aid payments, an initiative supported by the @UN!
Thanks to HesabPay, anyone can easily open a digital account linked to their phone in just a few minutes, no need to visit a bank or deal with complicated processes.
With their phone, users can now send or receive Afghanistan's digital currency (via $HAFN, a stablecoin launched by HesabPay) with any other account holder!
What's even more incredible is that even people without a phone can still make transactions, such as withdrawing cash at partner stores, thanks to QR code cards! 🙏
This is definitely a game changer for giving people more autonomy and dignity.
The growth of HesabPay is absolutely massive, and I truly believe no one is ready for what's coming next in terms of adoption and on-chain activity on #Algorand.
IMO, I've always believed crypto adoption would start in developing countries, where blockchain provides immediate solutions and solves real problems that millions of people face, issues that many of us may never have to deal with.
And that's exactly what's happening now.
2025 is going to be huge, no doubt about it! 🔥
Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and Somalia are likely the next countries where @HesabPay_ will expand.
This is absolutely massive for the entire #web3 adoption, and I highly recommend you #DYOR on this incredible project!
See you tomorrow, and don't forget to like, follow, and RT for a chance to win 20 $ALGO! 🎁
🚨BREAKING: According to sources close to the Trump transition team, President Trump is considering building a strategic national reserve of American cryptocurrencies such as $XRP and $HBAR next to Bitcoin
President Trump reportedly believes that these are „American Commodities“ that must be supported by the U.S. government in order to make the United States the world‘s „crypto capital“
This comes after news that Hedera and Ripple will be involved in digitising the U.S. government‘s infrastructure for elections and banking.
A few days ago, the President‘s son Eric Trump confirmed that his father is planning to remove taxes on American crypto.
Trump wants the U.S. to dominate the cryptocurrency industry and essentially create an S&P500-style 10 year bull cycle.
HUGE
Trump has promised to never allow the creation of Central Bank Digital Currency to protect people from government tyranny.
