🐍 $SNEK Lands on Crypto.com and Expands Its Reach

$SNEK is now listed on Crypto.com, marking another big step in bringing Cardano native tokens to major global exchanges.

But the expansion doesn’t stop there, Snek has acquired SecurityBot, the leading Discord safety solution in the Cardano ecosystem. Its founder, a seasoned developer with experience in DEXs and Hydra, will continue to run SecurityBot while contributing to Snek’s growth.

On top of that, Snek has also partnered with Emurgo, Cardano’s co-founding entity focused on blockchain commercialization and asset tokenization, strengthening its position at the heart of the ecosystem.

These moves show Snek’s strategy to grow on multiple fronts: liquidity through listings, ecosystem safety via SecurityBot, and commercial reach through Emurgo. 

🌐 Revolut Adds ADA to Auto-Staking for 52.5M Users

Revolut, the global financial super app with over 52.5 million users, has integrated Cardano ($ADA) into its Auto-Staking program.

This means Revolut customers can now earn rewards automatically while holding ADA in-app, helping secure the Cardano network through its proof-of-stake mechanism, without the need for extra steps or technical setups.

With its massive global reach, Revolut’s move could introduce millions of users to ADA staking, lowering entry barriers and driving broader participation in network security.

The integration also reflects a growing trend: mainstream fintech platforms embracing staking as a service, making blockchain participation accessible to everyday users. For Cardano, this could translate into a significant boost in staking participation, decentralization, and long-term user retention across multiple markets.

📱 Lace Wallet Previews Mobile Experience

Lace Wallet has showcased an exclusive demo of its upcoming mobile wallet, with a full release expected later this year.

The mobile version promises the same security, privacy, and sleek design as the desktop experience. Soon, users will be able to send, receive, and interact with dApps directly from their pocket.

This is a big leap for accessibility in the Cardano ecosystem, bringing secure, self-custodial finance to your smartphone.

A mobile-native Lace could open the doors for a wave of new users, especially in regions where mobile-first internet use dominates. Combined with Cardano’s growing DeFi and NFT ecosystems, the release could turn Lace into a central hub for Web3 activity
