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.
