ABCDE: Why we invested in Perena
Original source: ABCDE
TLDR
The stablecoin market is growing at an astonishing rate, but it also faces the problems of centralization and decentralized liquidity; Perena is systematically building key infrastructure for stablecoins to help stablecoins move from innovation in encryption technology to mainstream financial applications; the Perena team has been deeply involved in stablecoins for many years and has first-class product capabilities and rich corporate resources; Perena is committed to building a more usable, liquid and profitable stablecoin infrastructure to promote the large-scale popularization of stablecoin applications in the future.
Stablecoin Market
2024 can be said to be the year of the outbreak of stablecoins. According to DefiLlama data, the total market value of stablecoins has exceeded 200 billion US dollars, of which USDT has hit a record high of 139 billion US dollars, and the market value of USDC issued by Circle has reached 41 billion US dollars. The continued growth of the market is not accidental. We believe that there are two main driving forces behind this: 1. Institutional application scenarios of stablecoins, such as large-scale remittances and payments; 2. As a financial instrument that can generate income, stablecoins show unique value potential. This trend makes us more convinced that stablecoins will play an increasingly important role in the future and also put forward higher requirements for infrastructure. 
Source: DefiLlama The battle of stablecoins: new digital currencies are on the rise In fact, the prosperity of the stablecoin market has been brewing for many years. From BUSD (Binance Dollar), PYUSD (PayPal Dollar) to the recently launched RLUSD (Liquidity's yield-based stablecoin), more and more institutions are issuing their own stablecoins. As mentioned above, stablecoins are not just simple payment currencies, they are becoming "the new currency of the digital world", injecting unprecedented liquidity into the crypto market.
But as more and more institutions issue different types of stablecoins, we see a clear liquidity split. At present, we urgently need a strong infrastructure to support its exchange and provide liquidity.
"The biggest problem in the current stablecoin market is that we have many stablecoins, but there is no unified infrastructure to collaborate efficiently. Perena is filling the missing link." Perena co-founder Anna said.
Perena has built a powerful stablecoin platform to manage stablecoin liquidity, manage risk, and integrate new programmable money.
Numéraire: Perena’s first product
In addition to the huge potential of the market, a key reason for our investment in Perena is the team’s strong execution. In just a few months, Perena has launched its first product, Numéraire, a multi-asset stablecoin swap protocol. The core feature of the platform is the multi-stablecoin liquidity pool, which further improves the capital efficiency and liquidity of the stablecoin market by aggregating multiple stablecoins into a fungible, liquid token such as USD*. USD* is essentially a LP token (and a stablecoin itself) of a stable pool composed of a basket of stablecoins, including Tether, Circle, and PayPal USD in the AMM pool. Users can experience smooth stablecoin exchanges on Numéraire, or become liquidity providers (LPs) to earn returns; for stablecoin issuers, a basket of stablecoin pools further solves the problem of stablecoin liquidity fragmentation in the market while reducing issuance risks.
This comprehensive and innovative design solves the current systemic problems of stablecoins and lays the foundation for the future trillion-dollar decentralized financial system.

Team Introduction
Behind the success of a product, there is an excellent team. We believe that an excellent entrepreneur needs to have ambition, clear goals, and fast execution. And Anna is undoubtedly the best candidate to develop stablecoin products. As the co-founder of Perena, Anna served as the head of stablecoins at Solana, helping to double the issuance of stablecoins on Solana to $3.6 billion, while promoting the native issuance of multiple non-USD stablecoins. Her industry experience and keen insights have earned her recognition from many heavyweight supporters, including Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal. We believe that under her leadership, the Perena team will be able to promote continuous innovation in stablecoin infrastructure and lead the future development of the industry.
Written in the end…
The regulatory environment in the United States will become clearer after Trump takes office, and traditional financial giants (such as Goldman Sachs) will also enter the market. The stablecoin market may double to $400 billion in 2025.
This not only proves the huge potential of the market, but also makes us more confident in Perena's future.
We firmly believe that 2025 will be a year for stablecoins to shine, and it will also be a new year for Perena to set sail and lead the trend.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
