.@seanlippel on how we're moving into an institutional dominated market and what that means for the type of runners you can expect "We've flipped from a retail driven cycle into an institutional cycle"

We listened to you.  Today, we’re excited to announce that the Flutterwave V4 APIs are now in Public Beta.
 We rebuilt them from the ground up - stronger security, smoother integrations, improved stability, and better developer experience. Dive in, test it out, and share your feedback. Get started here - dev.to/flutterwaveeng/introd…  We’ll keep building a better experience for you 🦋

BIG NEWS: We've officially released our agent brain to the public! You can now monitor exactly what your agent is thinking and why it's making the decisions it does 🌊

Across Africa, digital payments are reshaping how people do business and connect with one another. As this transformation accelerates, building and maintaining trust has become just as important as driving innovation. At Flutterwave, we’re focused on creating systems that not only power growth but also protect the people behind every transaction. By working closely with regulators and designing solutions that put safety first, we’re helping to ensure that Africa’s digital economy continues to grow on a foundation of confidence and transparency. Our Chief Regulatory and Data Protection Officer Mo Bammeke shared more thoughts on why strong regulation is key to sustainable progress. Read it 👇🏽 financialit.net/blog/africad…

A few things we loved about Money 20/20 US this year The energy, bold designs, vibrant booths, great company representation, the conversations, and the connections. We specifically loved reuniting with our friends at Happy Hour 🦋 Till next year, #Money2020!

I was gonna hit this on the next @blockworks pod w/ @JasonYanowitz, but it’s actually pretty simple: - This is an institutional cycle, not a retail one - Real retail never came back in full force as rates are still high + inflation crushed disposable income - The retail that did show up got churned through by Trump, then Melania, then Milei memes - There are simply too many tokens — attention + liquidity fragmented everywhere - Pump.Fun conditioned a generation that hodling = losing, so every pump gets sold into - The altcoin market still has a classic lemon problem - Crypto equities have rightfully vampired a lot of the altcoin bid - OGs are selling this year, stuck in the 4-year-cycle fallacy - 10/10 just wiped out prosumer traders + MMs who were even slightly levered or delta-neutral It’s not the cycle you wanted, but it’s the cycle we’ve got.

Africa’s largest payments infra provider just made its move onchain. @theflutterwave has chosen Polygon as its default blockchain to launch low-cost cross-border stablecoin payments for millions of consumers and global corporations, like Uber and Audiomack. This marks one of the largest real-world stablecoin deployments in emerging markets to date, spanning 30+ African countries.

New York State's Secure Choice Savings Program goes live with Vestwell, expanding retirement access across the state (via Passle) by Sarah Wolter news.fintech.io/post/102lp6q… #

Few understand how hard it is to actually survive many years in crypto. “You could’ve just DCA’d BTC and chilled” completely discounts how many ways you could still end up zero’d out in this crazy industry. Even if you only DCA'd Bitcoin over time… - You kept it on Mt. Gox, FTX, Voyager, Celsius. - You self-custodied but lost your seed or got hacked. - You lent it for “safe” yield on Gemini or BlockFi - You took profits, then coins went down bad, and got obliterated by taxes. - You tried leverage perps “just once.” And this doesn't even address the mental / psychological toll of it all. And that's the crazy part about crypto. As an early 2017 participant, I know that you could have ostensibly done everything "right", and still not have had longevity.

The vision for waveform (@WaveformBackup) has always been that anything that can potentially drive alpha, should be an input into the wave a-1 sentiment model to drive autonomous AI agent trading decisions. The dev team just stayed up 36 hours straight to make the next step in that direction. You can now integrate @aixbt_agent terminal calls, which has been known for for its early calls on surging @base projects before the rest of the market catches on. This is probably the biggest $wave up-date since EVM support was launched. Picture of what it looks like below - it's as easy as click to activate. I highly recommend getting your agent plugged in, especially if you hope to win the trading competition :)

$CFG is officially live on @Coinbase! This marks a new chapter for @Centrifuge, not just a global listing, but a leap forward for real-world assets. Unlocked: deeper liquidity, wider access, and a place on one of the industry’s biggest exchanges. To everyone who believed in the vision: today’s milestone is yours too. CFG Renaissance!

I've been thinking a lot about why DATs trigger CT so much. It even did me as well at first, but now we are some of the most prolific participants out of our funds in these. So why so much hate for DATs? 1. CT doesn't have access to them - too small dollars and they are still retail 2. Onchain remains absolutely cooked and pvp - over a year since we last had a proper onchain runner like Goat, ai16z etc. 3. There is a minimum size threshold for a DAT to be viable, so they are on assets CT doesn't own (BTC, SOL, ETH). Despite total crypto market cap ripping, people are still down v bad. 4. The emotional feeling that it's somehow not aligned with some sort of imagined pristine crypto ethos, and not bringing new people onchain All these facts have led CT to perform mental gymnastics to not only make up falsehoods like "it's all exit liquidity and locked tokens," and somehow be bearish the fact for once we actually have proper size flows coming into a select number of our assets

Amped to be a part of this. The first Solana DAT out of the gate of any importance on a US exchange. Also loving that with this sell-off, $STSS can purchase SOL for its long term coffers below $200. The close couldn't have been timed better. Onwards and upwards 🚀 @stsssol
