bayangin beli hardware wallet baru di toko, buka segel, setup, isi aset. eh beberapa minggu kemudian saldonya dikuras 😳
ini kejadian beneran di singapura. polisi singapura (28 okt) bilang ada minimal 2 kasus ledger yg uda "diakalin" sejak 10 september. total kerugiannya sekitar S$3,5 juta (sekitar $2,7 juta)
katanya di dalem device nya ada komponen tambahan yg nyuri recovery phrase (seed phrase = 24 kata cadangan buat buka wallet kamu)
jadi masalahnya bukan ledger nya jelek. device nya uda diutak-atik sebelum nyampe ke tangan pembeli. ini namanya supply chain attack (serangan lewat jalur distribusi barangnya)
yg perlu diinget:
beli hardware wallet cuma dari web resmi atau reseller resmi yg ada di web mereka
jangan beli bekas atau "promo murah" di marketplace
kalo pas buka box uda ada kertas seed phrase yg keisi, itu tanda bahaya. seed phrase harus kamu bikin sendiri pas setup
pagi tadi kita bahas exchange yg withdraw nya ditutup. siang ini pengingatnya: wallet sendiri pun harus dari sumber yg bener 😅

Luno is the primary venue for ZARU/USDC liquidity. Regulated infrastructure, an institutional client base, and a pair that settles atomically on @arc through @circle StableFX.
This is where the rand trades onchain.

PRESS RELEASE | #ZARU Becomes First African Stablecoin to Go Live on #Arc Blockchain
@ZARUniversal (ZARU), South Africa’s first institutional-grade rand (ZAR) stablecoin, is now live on Arc – and simultaneously launches as a founding currency pair on Circle StableFX, which enables 24/7 programmable onchain foreign exchange with fully-reserved stablecoins and instant settlement to simplify global digital currency conversions.
The ZARU/USDC pair will settle atomically onchain via Arc through StableFX’s Request-for-Quote engine – both sides of a trade will settle or neither does, eliminating the counterparty risk that characterises traditional FX.
For the $ZAR, which has been historically constrained by correspondent banking friction and limited trading windows, this is a structural shift.
Additionally, @LunoGlobal will serve as the primary exchange venue for ZARU/USDC liquidity

As the issuer, our job is the reserve. Every @ZARUniversal is backed one-to-one by rand held onshore, FSCA-licensed, and independently attested monthly. Now live on @circle StableFX.
This is what a fully reserved digital rand looks like.

In order for the U.S to repay its debt and service its principal, @RayDalio says 3 things must happen concurrently.
1.) The U.S. government needs to reduce its spending.
2.) Tax revenue needs to be raised.
3.) Lower interest rates are needed.

From AbokiFX to HyperFX: Instant FX Settlement, Built on Stablecoin Rails
Polytope Labs launches @hyperfx_finance, a fully onchain FX engine that swaps currencies in stablecoins in seconds, verifiable onchain, starting with the naira via cNGN.
#Nigeria’s FX market runs largely on informal markets.
Rates are quoted in WhatsApp groups, sourced through P2P, and negotiated over word-of-mouth desks. It’s built on trust, but trust doesn’t scale.
#HyperFX pulls FX out of manual desks into a single, efficient stablecoin marketplace.

Speed of settlement is not the biggest risk in cross-border business. For businesses managing supplier invoices, FX exposure, and working capital across emerging markets, the deeper challenge is certainty.
@BitcoinKE covered how on-chain treasury infrastructure is changing the way businesses manage that risk, and featured Ledig as part of that story.

EXPERT OPINION | Crypto Has Split into 4 Major Segments
@Bitwise CEO says the crypto market has effectively split into four major segments:
stablecoins and payments,
Bitcoin as a macro asset,
tokenization and on-chain finance, and
blockchain infrastructure.
Bitwise CEO:
"This is not the end, it's not the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning."
