According to @lightspark, Grid is a modular developer platform on open networks and Bitcoin infrastructure that provides one API to send, receive, and settle value globally across fiat, stablecoins, and BTC (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025). Lightspark states Grid exposes five core primitives—Payouts, Ramps, Rewards, Global P2P, and treasury/liquidity capabilities—for programmable money flows (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025). The company says it uses Bitcoin as the routing layer, targets near-zero fees, and abstracts complexity to enable instant transfers and global liquidity (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025). Lightspark cites work with SoFi and Nubank as examples of large institutions exploring this approach (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025). The post positions Grid as a connectivity layer between products and the internet of value, aiming to replace traditional, patchwork payment rails with internet-native settlement (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025). The thread argues founders want global reach, low fees without hidden spreads, instant settlement without many local processors, and an open, neutral network rather than closed ecosystems (source: @lightspark on X, Dec 18, 2025).

According to @StockMarketNerd, NU reached a new all-time high, with the post highlighting Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico as key markets. Source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 25, 2025.

According to Dave (@ItsDave_ADA), Nubank, a major digital financial services platform with over 114 million customers in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, has expanded its cryptocurrency platform portfolio to include Cardano (ADA). This move is expected to increase ADA's exposure and liquidity in the Latin American markets, potentially influencing ADA trading volumes and market dynamics.

According to @CCData_io, significant developments in the cryptocurrency market include German authorities moving part of a $2.8 billion Bitcoin stash to exchanges, Brazil's Nubank integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network for its 100 million users, and Zodia Custody partnering with 21Shares to secure cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs). These moves could impact Bitcoin liquidity and adoption, as well as enhance the security of crypto investments.
