Do you know that one can now build a mobile app (end-end) in just one hour? Thanks to AI.

I’m here to tell you all about it.

Meet Tolu, a 26-year-old fashion and wellness blogger with zero programming background. One night, she sketched out an idea for a digital platform called GlowGrid, a tool to help Gen Z and millennial women track skincare progress with AI and community support. She pitched the idea to a developer friend who quoted her $12,000 and a 3-month timeline.

Discouraged but not defeated, Tolu dove into the world of vibe coding. Within two weeks, using a mix of Lovable, Glide, and Notion, she had a working prototype. Three months later, she had 500+ beta users and her first investor call. Wild.

She never wrote a line of code—but she built something real. Now that’s vibe coding.

Imagine constructing a stunning website, a functional mobile app, or a compelling prototype simply by dragging, dropping, and visually configuring elements. That’s the essence of vibe coding – to translate your ideas directly into tangible digital products. It’s about the sentiments of creation, the satisfaction of seeing your vision materialise without being bogged down by lines of code.

What we know as the ideal thing to do before a product is built is to survey the market and build what the users want. Product teams in the past spend months engaging logic and syntax to build products tailored to solve their problems and sometimes, at the end of the six months or eight months, they launch and discover that they have over-exaggerated the user’s feedback. So, what do you do in a situation where the users do not know what they want and you have to think for them? This appears to be how the genius Apple products came into being and that’s what traditional vibe coding is all about – Building products according to one’s “vibes” and with whatever helps the developer’s creativity.

Vibe coding is a term that has been thrown around in the tech world for sometime now but has recently started gaining traction especially among solopreneurs, product builders and startup founders. More than just a no-code development — it’s a mindset.

At its core, vibe coding is about building tech-powered experiences without obsessing over syntax or long dev cycles. It’s intuitive. It’s visual. It’s about skipping all the preliminaries and protocols and getting your ideas into the world quickly—whether that’s a landing page, an app prototype, or a full-fledged SaaS product. Vibe coding focuses on the ‘feel’ of the product—the user journey, the storytelling, the flow—not just the logic. It’s where design, tech, and creativity collide without the gatekeeping of traditional programming.

Forget the rigid syntax and complex algorithms for a moment, in the dynamic world of digital creation, this is the new current emerging, one that emphasizes intuition, flow, and the sheer joy of building. Vibe coding is about tapping into your creative energy and bringing your digital vision to life with remarkable speed and accessibility, primarily through harnessing the intuitive power of no-code tools.

MetaMask, in collaboration with CompoSecure, Baanx, and Mastercard, launched the MetaMask Metal Payment Card, a premium, physical crypto debit card enabling tap-to-pay transactions directly from self-custody MetaMask wallets. Announced on April 28, 2025, the card eliminates the need for preloading funds or converting crypto to fiat before spending, with transactions authorized via smart contracts in under five seconds on the Linea network, an Ethereum-based zkEVM blockchain.

Supported tokens include USDC, aUSDC, USDT, WETH, EURe, and GBPe. The card is set for a global rollout in Q2 2025, with early access available in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, the EEA, Mexico, Switzerland, the UK, and the US (excluding New York and Vermont). A limited-edition Metal Card offers premium rewards and exclusive perks. This partnership aims to bridge Web2 and Web3, making crypto spending seamless and secure.

Ledger Live now enables users to earn stablecoin yields directly from self-custody through a new integration with Kiln, announced on April 28, 2025. This feature allows users to generate passive income on stablecoins like USDC, USDT, USDS, and DAI with yields ranging from 5% to 9.9% APY, depending on the protocol used e.g., Aave, Compound, Morpho, Sky, Spark. The key advantage is that users maintain full control of their private keys, ensuring self-custody without transferring assets to centralized platforms.

This is facilitated through Ledger Live’s interface, where Kiln provides backend access to DeFi lending protocols, simplifying the process while prioritizing security. Only 4% of stablecoin holders currently earn yield, so this integration aims to make DeFi more accessible and secure for Ledger users.

On April 28, 2025, a suspected theft of 3,520 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $330.7 million, led to a 50% surge in Monero (XMR) prices, with the privacy coin reaching an intraday high of $339-$391, according to various sources. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged the suspicious transfer from a potential victim’s wallet (address: bc1qcrypchnrdx87jnal5e5m849fw460t4gk7vz55g), noting that the stolen BTC was rapidly laundered through over six instant exchanges and converted into XMR to obscure the trail.

The large-scale conversion caused a supply-demand shock in Monero’s market, given its lower liquidity compared to Bitcoin, driving the price spike. Trading volume surged by up to 500%, with open interest in XMR futures hitting a yearly high and over $1 million in short positions liquidated. However, XMR later retraced, trading between $263-$295 by the end of the day, still up 15-25% over 24 hours. ZachXBT dismissed speculation that North Korea’s Lazarus Group was involved, suggesting independent hackers targeted a longtime Bitcoin holder, likely an “OG Bitcoiner.”

FTX has initiated legal action against certain token and coin issuers, including NFT Stars Limited and KUROSEMI INC. (operating as Delysium), for failing to deliver contractually obligated tokens and refusing to cooperate in returning assets owed to the FTX estate. These lawsuits, announced on April 29, 2025, are part of FTX’s efforts to recover assets to repay customers affected by the exchange’s collapse in November 2022.

The complaints follow multiple unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue without litigation, and FTX has warned that additional lawsuits will be filed against other non-responsive token issuers. The FTX Recovery Trust is actively pursuing these actions to maximize asset recovery for creditors and customers.

MoonPay, a leading crypto payments company, has relocated its U.S. headquarters to New York City, opening a 5,000+ square-foot office in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. Announced on April 29, 2025, this move marks MoonPay’s largest U.S. office to date and serves as a hub for its growing U.S. workforce, which comprises nearly 20% of its global employees.

The relocation from Miami aligns with New York’s status as a finance and tech hub, joining other crypto firms like Coinbase and Gemini. MoonPay’s expansion follows a strong financial performance, with Q1 2025 being its most successful quarter, driven by a booming crypto market. The move also reflects strategic positioning amid increasing U.S. regulatory clarity for cryptocurrencies.

Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has received in-principle approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to operate as a money services provider in the UAE, announced on April 29, 2025. This is not a full license but a significant step toward obtaining a Financial Services Permission (FSP), allowing Circle to offer regulated financial services in the region. The approval follows Circle’s incorporation of a legal entity in ADGM in December 2024, aiming to expand its presence in the Middle East and Africa.

USDC, with a circulating supply of $62 billion (up 40% in 2025), is the second-largest stablecoin, backed by US dollar reserves. Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, stated that the approval aligns with the UAE’s push for innovation in digital finance and strengthens Circle’s commitment to global stablecoin oversight, trust, and compliance. Circle also partnered with Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s tech ecosystem, to foster fintech innovation through ADGM’s digital regulatory sandbox, providing startups with resources and mentorship.

Tether has confirmed that its Tether Gold (XAUT) token is backed by 7.7 tons (246,523.33 troy ounces) of physical gold, as detailed in its first Q1 2025 attestation report. Each XAUT token is pegged 1:1 to one troy ounce of London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)-certified gold, securely stored in Swiss vaults. The acquisition supports XAUT’s market capitalization, which reached $770 million by March 31, 2025, and peaked at $853.7 million recently, driven by rising global demand for safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and geopolitical tensions.

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized XAUT’s role as a digital, transferable form of physical gold, combining blockchain efficiency with gold’s stability. The attestation, conducted under El Salvador’s regulatory framework, aims to ensure transparency, though critics have raised concerns about Tether’s auditing practices, noting that the BDO Italia report lacks full compliance with international financial reporting standards.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved ProShares Trust to launch three XRP futures-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on April 30, 2025. These ETFs include the Ultra XRP ETF (2x leverage), the Short XRP ETF (-1x leverage), and the Ultra Short XRP ETF (-2x leverage). Unlike spot ETFs, these funds track XRP’s price movements through futures contracts, not direct ownership of the cryptocurrency.

They will be the second, third, and fourth XRP-tracking ETFs in the U.S., following Teucrium’s 2x Long Daily XRP ETF launched earlier in April 2025. ProShares’ separate application for a spot XRP ETF remains pending, alongside similar proposals from Grayscale, 21Shares, and Bitwise.

Solana Led All L1 Blockchains in Revenue Generation For Q1 2025

In Q1 2025, Solana reportedly led all Layer 1 blockchains in revenue, generating $370 million in fees, outpacing Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain, and others, according to posts on X and industry sources. This revenue includes fees, tips, and maximum extractable value (MEV), with Solana’s high transaction demand driven by its scalability and low-cost transactions. Solana’s ability to process up to 65,000 transactions per second, facilitated by its Proof of History (PoH) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms, has fueled its dominance in on-chain activity, particularly in meme coin trading and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Additionally, Solana surpassed Ethereum in staking market capitalization, reaching $53.15 billion compared to Ethereum’s $53.72 billion. Approximately 64.86% of Solana’s total supply is staked, yielding an annual percentage yield (APY) of 8.31%, significantly higher than Ethereum’s 28.18% staked supply with a 2.98% APY. Solana’s staking appeal is bolstered by its low entry barrier (0.01 SOL minimum) and growing liquid staking protocols, though its lack of a slashing mechanism has raised security concerns among critics.

While Solana’s performance metrics are impressive, some argue its revenue and staking figures may be inflated by speculative activity, such as meme coin trading, and question its long-term sustainability compared to Ethereum’s more mature DeFi ecosystem. Ethereum’s higher total value locked (TVL) and developer base still make it a formidable competitor, despite Solana’s Q1 lead. Always consider cross-referencing these metrics with primary blockchain data, as reported figures can vary and may not fully reflect network health or decentralization.

Solana’s $370 million in revenue signals strong user demand and network activity, particularly in high-throughput applications like meme coin trading and DeFi. Its ability to handle 65,000 transactions per second at low costs positions it as a go-to platform for retail users and developers building scalable dApps, potentially challenging Ethereum’s dominance in DeFi and NFT markets. With a $53.15 billion staking market cap and 64.86% of its supply staked, Solana’s high participation rate strengthens network security and validator decentralization. The 8.31% APY attracts investors, but the absence of a slashing mechanism could raise concerns about validator accountability, potentially exposing the network to risks if malicious behavior goes unpunished.

Solana’s cost-efficiency and performance are drawing developers away from Ethereum, where high gas fees remain a barrier. This could accelerate dApp development on Solana, particularly in gaming, DeFi, and social finance (SocialFi), but Ethereum’s entrenched developer community and robust tooling (e.g., EVM compatibility) may slow this shift. Critics highlight that Solana’s revenue is partly driven by speculative meme coin trading, which may not be sustainable long-term. If speculative activity wanes, Solana’s revenue could decline unless it diversifies into more stable use cases like tokenized real-world assets or enterprise applications.

Solana’s lead puts pressure on Ethereum to optimize its scaling solutions, such as Layer 2 rollups, and reduce fees to retain users. Ethereum’s higher TVL ($51 billion vs. Solana’s $10 billion) and institutional adoption still give it an edge, but Solana’s performance could force Ethereum to accelerate upgrades like sharding or lower staking barriers. Solana’s metrics bolster its appeal to investors, with SOL’s price potentially benefiting from its revenue and staking dominance. However, volatility tied to speculative trading and macroeconomic factors (e.g., interest rates) could temper gains. Investors should weigh Solana’s high APY against risks like network outages, which have historically plagued Solana.

Solana’s high throughput relies on relatively centralized infrastructure (fewer, more powerful validators), raising concerns about censorship resistance compared to Ethereum’s more decentralized validator set. This could impact long-term trust among users prioritizing ideological principles of blockchain. Solana’s rapid growth may strain its infrastructure, risking congestion or outages if transaction volumes surge further. Additionally, reliance on liquid staking protocols introduces counterparty risks, as seen in past DeFi exploits.

To navigate these implications, stakeholders should monitor Solana’s ability to sustain revenue beyond speculative trends, improve decentralization, and maintain network stability. Ethereum’s response—via scaling or fee reductions—will also shape the competitive landscape. Always verify on-chain data and network health metrics independently.
