Gm, Seems like good projects can still raise funds! @apr_labs just raised $20M more. ✦ Why do I care? I care because the team is pretty stacked: → Ex-Jump, Coinbase, Citadel, Robinhood, and the founder was previously a core contributor at Pyth Network, which the U.S. Department of Commerce just selected for on-chain verification & distribution of economic data. On top of that aPriori also has advisors from the U.S. SEC. So we have extensive TradFi & Government connections & resources. Right now crypto is about institution money, so that's definitely bullish. ✦ But what even is aPriori @apr_labs? aPriori is the intelligent order flow coordination layer for high-performance blockchains like @monad. And it handles MEV by using AI-driven order flow segmentation to distinguish between helpful, benign trades and harmful or toxic ones like front-running and arbitrage. This protects liquidity providers by routing good trades to tight liquidity pools and shielding them from predatory behavior. And as aPriori is ranked as the number 1 app on Monad Testnet, it could definitely be the biggest app at launch. Monad should be the big launch of 2026, so let's see what happens but that's bullish for aPriori. I’m not so much into Monad yet (still in testnet), but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. That said, aPriori isn’t limited to Monad, it can work anywhere, but Monad could be its first big breakthrough. Let's see when it's out 🫡 twitter.com/CryptoShiro_/statu...

There is one Narrative here that is not discussed enough: → Privacy 💎 Privacy is one of the main things missing for crypto to become mainstream. So a partnership between a privacy-first blockchain & A Stablecoin Ecosystem is bullish. See how it benefits Crypto ↓ 🧵 ------------------ So the big news is that @AleoHQ joins Global Dollar Network @global_dollar. → Aleo will leverage the Safest, Most Trusted Stablecoin for Onchain Treasury Management & Vendor Payments. Obviously we need to explain these 2 entities first in order to understand why it's bullish for crypto. ↓ ✦ Aleo, the Privacy Blockchain @AleoHQ is the first permissionless, programmable, privacy-preserving blockchain. It’s privacy-first by design, using zero-knowledge proofs to verify activity without exposing data. • Recently became the first privacy preserving blockchain to be listed on Revolut. • Backed by a16z and raised over $250M. Tech edge: Built from scratch (not an Ethereum clone), enabling off-chain computation for faster, lighter, and more private apps. Privacy and compliance can coexist, users can selectively share data when needed. Team: World-class leadership with backgrounds at the DOJ, White House NSC, Google, Meta, MobileCoin, Circle, Paxos, U.S. Air Force, and more. Current focus: Core infrastructure + payments → private stablecoins, cross-chain tools, and laying groundwork for private trading platforms. In a world of increasing data exposure, Aleo offers control and privacy without sacrificing trust or regulatory compatibility. ✦ Global Dollar Network, $USDG A stablecoin ecosystem centered on Global Dollar (USDG), a U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin issued by Paxos Digital Singapore & Paxos Issuance Europe with strong compliance and transparency. With Kraken, Paxos or Robinhood as partners, the ecosystem unlocks opportunities across many places, and is expanding its usecases rapidly. I personnally first saw the $USDG stablecoin on Kamino, and used it for some good yield, so it's already well-integrated in DeFi. And @aleohq has just partnered with them to support with treasury management & vendor payments. Aleo enables fully private payments with their zero-knowledge tech. → They're solving the biggest problem in stablecoins: less than 0.01% of the $270B stablecoin market is encrypted. We need that zk technology for secure & encrypted crypto payments. Aleo with this partnership becomes the first Layer1 to join Global Dollar Network. ------------- Crypto needs privacy to go mainstream. I'm always keen to establish partnerships & connections with privacy projects, so I'm happy to help Aleo sharing their latest update with you! Probably the most advanced Privacy Blockchain.
