🚀 AEREDIUM × KIMA NETWORK
We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership with @aeredium — an institutional-grade blockchain focused on stablecoins, real-world assets, and cross-chain settlement infrastructure.
By connecting AEREDIUM’s trust layer with Kima’s settlement infrastructure, we’re strengthening the foundations for synchronized value transfer across banks, blockchains, stablecoins, and digital asset ecosystems.
The infrastructure layer just got a lot more powerful💪
More soon 👀
Your fintech stack may be a messaging system pretending to be a payment system.
When an API returns “success,” it usually means:
It does not mean value was irrevocably settled. Final settlement often happens later, in another system. That gap is where counterparty risk and liquidity exposure live.
The industry has blurred the line between:
📩Payment initiation
💰 Payment completion
They are not the same.
At Kima, we close that gap.
Instead of orchestrating messages across fragmented systems, we enable atomic settlement - allowing banks, PSPs, fintech platforms, stablecoins, and blockchains to settle simultaneously.
💸No scattered prefunding
🔓No wrapped asset dependencies
💠Clear, synchronized finality
Because if you can’t define exactly when value settles across systems, you don’t have a payment network. You have an IOU manager.
🚀 Major Infrastructure Upgrades Live on Kima Network
We’re redefining cross-chain security and UX. Here’s how:
🟠 Native Bitcoin is here. No more wrapping. No more $WBTC bridge risks. With full HTLC handling, Kima makes native BTC programmable and liquid across chains while keeping it trust-minimized. This is the "Gold Standard" for BTC interoperability.
🟣 Solana Precision: We’ve strengthened outbound amount accuracy and swap verification. Institutional-grade validation for the high-speed $SOL ecosystem
🔵 Gasless EVM (Permit2): gasless token approvals are now live on EVM chains. Skip the "double-transaction" headache and save on fees.
This is what real interoperability looks like:
secure rails, precise validation, smoother UX.
We’re connecting chains, we’re upgrading the foundation!

Hot take 🔥
Crypto didn’t fail at adoption.
It failed at making things simple.
Agree ✅ or disagree ❌ ?
We’re often asked by the community how Kima is different from solutions, so let’s make it simple.
Other solutions, like LayerZero and Axelar focus on blockchain-to-blockchain communication. They pass messages or move wrapped tokens using smart contracts, bridges, and oracles.
Kima works at a different layer.
Kima connects the entire financial world (crypto networks, banks, cards, and fiat rails) and settles native value, not messages. No bridges. No wrapping. No smart contracts. No oracles. Which also means no bridge exploit risk.
In short:
LayerZero = message passing
Kima = real money movement and settlement
Did you know?
Fun fact, but the most popular stablecoin $USDT, is literally named after its purpose. The word “tether” means to tie something to a fixed point, in this case, $1 USD.
Launched in 2014 (originally as Realcoin), $USDT was created to give traders a stable asset that doesn’t move like $BTC or $ETH, making it easier to move money across crypto markets without banks.
Kima team positions Kima as a "settlement layer". But what does it mean?
Think of Kima as a universal payment rail connecting wallets, blockchains, banks, and apps. It securely moves value across any system.
With Kima, a wallet could send $USDT from Ethereum → Solana → a bank → a Web2 app in one seamless step. No bridges. No wrapping. No middlemen.
Found this infographic really inspiring, a great snapshot of how far stablecoin infrastructure has expanded, layer by layer, and how settlement layers like Kima are starting to tie it all together.

The best technology is the kind you never notice. 📱✨ You don't think about "TCP/IP" when you send an email.
Why should you think about "Cross-Chain and Fiat Interoperability" when you send money?
Our answer is Kima.
💱 Stablecoins processed ~US$27.6 trillion in transfer volume last year, exceeding the combined volumes of Visa and Mastercard based on available datasets comparing onchain activity with card network reports.
The scale demonstrates that stablecoins now function as a major global money rail, growing faster than the regulatory frameworks traditionally used to oversee payment systems.
As a result, regulators across regions are intervening, driven by concerns related to:
📊 A comparison of regulatory approaches across the EU, US, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and the UAE shows convergence on three minimum regulatory requirements:
⚖️ Beyond this baseline, implementation diverges significantly:
- Some jurisdictions restrict issuance to banks or trust institutions, while others allow licensed non-bank issuers
- Eligible reserve assets differ, affecting liquidity and risk profiles
- Redemption timelines vary, shaping operational and liquidity requirements
- Cross-border use may be limited unless local authorisation standards are met
🔍 Disclosure and assurance
Most stablecoin issuers currently publish attestations or assurance opinions, rather than full-scope financial statement audits. These disclosures typically confirm balances at specific points in time and do not provide comprehensive audit coverage of systems and controls.
🌍 Regulatory direction
Major economies are no longer debating whether stablecoins should exist. They are defining what forms of stablecoins are permitted, through frameworks such as MiCA in the EU and proposed federal legislation in the US.
Global payments are no longer just about moving funds from one account to another.
To meet these expectations, modern payment infrastructure cannot rely on a single rail.
🏦 Bank transfers, card networks, digital wallets, and stablecoins need to operate within one unified system, not as isolated integrations.
The real complexity lies in handling speed, costs, foreign exchange, reconciliation, and regulatory compliance at the same time.
This is where Kima Network provides a clear advantage!
For companies operating globally, payments are no longer just backend infrastructure, they directly shape the user experience.
🚀 Crypto & Web3 Events in February
February is packed with major crypto, Web3, AI, and blockchain events around the world, bringing together builders, founders, and innovators shaping the next internet.
From Web Summit Qatar to Consensus Hong Kong, ETH Denver, and NEARCON, this month is all about connection, innovation, and real Web3 adoption.
📍 Which events are on your calendar?
🔍 We analyzed the Visa team’s latest insights on payment trends for 2026 and the direction is clear.
👀 Six trends shaping the future of payments:
➡️ Stablecoins come of age — evolving from speculative assets into trusted global payment rails.
➡️ Agentic commerce goes mainstream — AI agents act and transact on behalf of users.
➡️ Digital identity enters the AI era — biometrics and AI models counter increasingly sophisticated fraud.
➡️ Manual checkout fades away — one-click, frictionless payments become the norm.
➡️ Cash continues to decline — digital payments grow, especially in everyday micro-transactions.
➡️ Agility becomes non-negotiable — cloud-native infrastructure enables rapid innovation.
The common thread?
👉 Payments are becoming automated, programmable, and system-level.
At Kima, we see the same shift: the future will be built on infrastructure that connects systems seamlessly.

📚 Kima 101: What Is Kima?
Kima is the decentralized settlement layer that lets assets move across chains and into fiat without bridges, wrapping, or custodians.
Think: stablecoins to cards, crypto to wallets, cross-chain to real-world… all in a single, secure transaction.
Built for devs. Backed by patents. Powered by trust.
The "maximalism" era is fading. The future of crypto isn't just one chain, it’s a web of interconnected ecosystems.
🕸️ At Kima, we believe the ultimate goal is a world where users don't even know which chain they are using.
Crypto is moving past tokens toward systems.

💡 Stablecoins: More Than Just Crypto Buzzwords
They’re not all the same and they’re not just for DeFi.
🟣 Fiat-backed stablecoins like USDC and USDT bring compliance and auditability to the blockchain.
🟢 Decentralized stablecoins like DAI and GHO rely on smart contracts and crypto collateral for stability.
But the real value? Use cases like:
At Kima, we help connect these stablecoins to both crypto and fiat systems - securely, seamlessly, and without smart contracts.
Sent fiat.
Received crypto.
Didn’t age 3 years waiting for settlement.
Kima things. 🚀
17 years ago, Bitcoin proved money could move peer to peer.
Today, we’re proving it can move bank to blockchain, just as directly.
Same idea. Bigger world.
Happy Bitcoin P2P Day. 🚀
💡 What are stablecoins actually used for?
Spoiler: it's way more than just trading 🧵
🔹 Payments & Settlement
Fast, low-cost cross-border transactions, no banks needed. Perfect for payroll, B2B, and 24/7 financial flows.
🔹 Capital Markets
Used as collateral in DeFi, settlement for tokenized assets, and margin trading. Stablecoins are the glue of digital finance.
🔹 Treasury & Corporate
Great for managing liquidity, diversifying treasuries, and generating on-chain yield.
🔹 Emerging Markets
Access the digital dollar in high-inflation regions. Think savings, remittances, and digital wallets.
🔹 Web3 & Programmable Money
Powering NFTs, gaming, DAOs, and creator economies, stablecoins bring real value to on-chain experiences.
Kima helps bridge fiat and crypto rails, making these use cases more accessible and secure — no smart contracts, no bridges. Just smooth, universal settlement 💸🌍
🌐 What is Kima? (Explained Simply)
Kima is a decentralized settlement layer that lets money move directly between banks, cards, wallets, and blockchains - instantly, securely, and without bridges, custodians, or smart contracts.
Think of it like “USB-C for finance”: one connection that makes different systems finally speak the same language.
Bank → wallet: send EUR via bank transfer and receive stablecoins on-chain
Card → crypto: buy stablecoins and settle directly to a wallet
Chain → chain: move and swap value across ecosystems without bridges
Fiat ↔ crypto flows: payouts, remittances, top-ups, treasury, settlement
🔐 Why it’s different
Kima is built around atomic settlement (transactions complete fully or not at all) so there’s no “funds stuck in transit” and no fragile bridge risk.
🚀 Why it matters
Because the future isn’t “TradFi vs DeFi.” It’s one financial system where apps, banks, and blockchains can interact seamlessly and Kima is building the rail that makes that possible.
If you’re building payments, wallets, exchanges, or anything cross-border/cross-chain, Kima is the infrastructure layer to plug into.

Stablecoin vs. CBDC: What’s the Difference? 🤔
Though they may seem similar, stablecoins and CBDCs serve different purposes and are built on different foundations.
🔹 What is a Stablecoin?
A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value by being pegged to reserve assets like fiat currencies (USD, EUR), commodities (e.g., gold), or a basket of assets.
🔹 What is a CBDC?
A CBDC is a digital version of a national currency, issued and fully regulated by a country’s central bank. It’s legal tender in digital form - secure, stable, and government-backed.
