Crypto : Nigeria & Afrique du Sud dominent un marché de 300 milliards $ — 95 % des Nigérians préfèrent les stablecoins au naira
Le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud s'imposent comme les leaders de l'adoption des stablecoins en Afrique, sur un marché mondial qui dépasse désormais les 300 milliards de dollars. Selon le Stablecoin Utility Report 2026 de YouGov/BVNK, près de 80 % des détenteurs de cryptomonnaies dans ces deux pays possèdent des stablecoins, et plus de 75 % prévoient d'augmenter leurs avoirs.
L'attrait pour les stablecoins est particulièrement marqué au Nigeria, où environ 95 % des répondants préféreraient recevoir des paiements en stablecoins plutôt qu'en naira. Le gouverneur de la Banque de Réserve d'Afrique du Sud (SARB), Lesetja Kganyago, reconnaît que les frais de transfert peuvent atteindre 30 $ pour envoyer 100 $ vers le Mozambique. Le marché est dominé par Tether (185 milliards $) et USDC (75 milliards $).
Malgré cet engouement, l'utilisation des stablecoins pour les paiements courants reste limitée, avec seulement 6 % des transactions dédiées à l'achat de biens et services. Les banques centrales expriment des craintes quant aux risques de fuite des capitaux et de perte de souveraineté monétaire. #crypto #Write2Earn $USDT
La baisse n'a pas continué et les offres sont intervenues rapidement, ce qui ressemble plus à une absorption qu'à une distribution. Les acheteurs défendent toujours bien la structure et l'élan à la baisse n'a pas réussi à s'étendre. Tant que cette zone tient, une continuation à la hausse reste le chemin le plus clair.
CANTOR FITZGERALD: #MSTR SAFE FROM FORCED BITCOIN SALES
Cantor Fitzgerald told CNBC, "There's nothing out there that could force Strategy $MSTR to sell their #bitcoin ."
Brett Knoblauch, Head of Digital Assets Research, explains why: #MSTR’s debt is mostly unsecured convertible notes, meaning no margin-call triggers if BTC drops. Long maturities and near-zero interest reduce liquidation risk, giving the company room to ride volatility.
Institutional backing and Michael Saylor’s long-term treasury plan reinforce the “no forced sell” thesis. #Write2Earn $BTC
Robert Kiyosaki says he purchased another full #BTC around $67K !
He argues future dollar printing and Bitcoin’s fixed 21M supply make crashes opportunities - not threats:
“#1: The Big Print will begin when US debt crashes the dollar and the Fed prints trillions in fake dollars. #2: The magical 21 millionth Bitcoin is getting close to being mined… when it is, Bitcoin becomes better than gold.”
After nearly three months of persistent weakness, #Bitcoin’s apparent demand has finally turned back above zero -- now sitting around +1,200 $BTC.
Back in December, demand bottomed near -154K $BTC, a stretch that helped explain the sluggish price action we’ve been grinding through. But quietly, the pressure has been easing. Selling is cooling. Structural accumulation is starting to re-emerge.
Remember what this metric captures: whether long-term holders are absorbing new supply. When it’s deeply negative, the market struggles. When it turns positive, the foundation starts rebuilding.
We’re not out of the woods yet. One print doesn’t make a trend.
But if this demand recovery sticks, it’s usually one of the earliest signs the market is transitioning from distribution... back toward accumulation. 👀
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE BOLD, NOT THE BUREAUCRATS.
#Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says, "Capital goes where it’s welcome. Countries that embrace crypto will likely see the most economic growth in the next decade."
We’ve seen this movie before: money and talent flow to places with clear rules, low friction, and strong property rights -- think Singapore’s rise or America’s tech boom.
Crypto accelerates that dynamic. Digital assets move instantly across borders. When a country offers clear rules, friendly taxes, and real infrastructure, capital pours in: VC funding, talent, startups, trading volume, even entire ecosystems.
Look at what's already happening.
Nations like 🇸🇻El Salvador (#bitcoin as legal tender), the 🇦🇪UAE (#crypto hubs in Dubai), and 🇸🇬Singapore (progressive yet balanced regs) are attracting billions in crypto investment while others stall or ban it.
The winners are building on-chain economies, boosting remittances, financial inclusion, and new forms of value creation. The laggards? They're watching talent and money flee to friendlier shores.
The next decade will split the bold from the hesitant. The pro-crypto nations won’t just join the digital economy -- they'll dominate it. #Write2Earn #crypto
ICYMI -- as of February 18, 2026, the first spot ETFs tracking SUI are trading on major U.S. exchanges. This gives regulated, easy-access exposure to Sui Network's token without needing to deal with wallets or exchanges.
Meet the tickers: 💧 $SUI (Canary) -- listed on Nasdaq, with staking integrated into NAV. 💧 $GSUI (Grayscale) -- trading on NYSE Arca, also designed to reflect staking rewards in the product.
This is the next logical step after the post-2024 wave of SEC-approved crypto ETPs: turning proof-of-stake networks into familiar #TradFi instruments that can deliver yield -- so allocators can capture both beta (price) and carry (staking) in one line item.
#SUI has been excelling with high throughput, #stablecoin volume, and real-world use cases. Now it has this institutional stamp of approval, which could bring more liquidity and attention to the ecosystem long-term. 🚀 #sui #Write2Earn
BNB’S 2025 RETURN WAS MORE THAN PRICE PERFORMANCE 📈
CoinMarketCap data shows #BNB moved from roughly $701 (Jan 2025) to ~$863 (Dec 2025) -- about +23% on price.
But when including ecosystem incentives like Launchpool, Megadrop, and HODLer airdrops, estimated total holder value rises to ~$946, implying ~+35% total return YoY.
That’s roughly 11-12% incremental return from rewards rather than spot price appreciation (briefly approaching ~15% at peak token valuations).
Moral of the story: utility + distribution programs can materially change realized returns versus looking at price alone. #Write2Earn #crypto $BNB
$AAVE just printed a clean breakdown on the 4H, losing the rising channel support and flushing from the 124–126 area into 116.5, with a 4H range around 111.8 to 108.0. That is momentum shifting lower, and it puts the burden back on buyers to reclaim structure.
As long as $AAVE holds 116–115 as support, we can still treat this as a sharp deviation and look for stabilization. If 116 fails on 4H closes, downside opens toward 112–110 next, while any recovery needs 120–122 reclaimed first to rebuild the upside path. ➖➖➖➖➖ Bitcoin Bullets®️ Trading #Write2Earn #aave
