Celo at Binance Blockchain Week 2025: A Recap
This week, Celo had the pleasure of joining #BinanceBlockchainWeek as Title Sponsor!
We were thrilled to rejoin the Binance community in Dubai for a second time, with Celo co-founder Rene Reinsberg breaking major news on the main stage with our partners at Opera, presenting Binance 100 Awards to talented creators, to meeting many of the 5,000 attendees at our booth, and more.
On Day 1, the Celo Foundation and Opera (NASDAQ: OPRA) took over the Main Stage to announce our strategic partnership extension to scale stablecoin wallet MiniPay for 1 billion global users by 2030.
Built exclusively on Celo, MiniPay boasts 11 million users across Africa and the world with 300 million transactions to date, which we’re committed to growing through added expansion in Asia and Latin America, real-time merchant payments and stablecoin-backed cards.
Rene and Opera EVP of Mobile Jørgen Arnesen talked about how MiniPay is a key driver of Celo’s 700K+ daily active users and role as the #1 transport layer for @Tether USDT with over 3 million weekly active users.
They also highlighted MiniPay’s momentum with 40+ Mini Apps that unlock access to Tether Gold, and more, plus the roadmap for 2026 afterwards in a shared @CoinDesk TV interview.
We also sponsored the Binance 100 Awards to celebrate researchers, community builders, and storytellers driving education and broader crypto awareness, where Rene presented the Independent Researcher awards.
The next day Rene joined @CoinDesk TV with @土澳大狮兄Leon to recap the awards, and emphasized the important role KOLs play in the crypto ecosystem.
Later, Rene was back on the main stage with @Ethena Labs , Hashed, @1inch Network , and Cypher Capital for the "When Markets Go Onchain" panel moderated by @邦妮區塊鏈 Bonnie Blockchain . Bonnie and Rene sat down to dive deeper into Celo’s stablecoin economy after the panel; stay tuned for their interview!
We had an incredible week meeting new friends and reconnecting with longtime supporters. Thank you to the Binance team and community for welcoming us, we can’t wait for next year!

Yesterday in Dubai, Peter Schiff walked on stage holding a gold bar.
CZ asked him one simple question: “Is it real?”
Schiff replied: “I don’t know.”
The London Bullion Market Association later confirmed what gold experts already know. There is only one way to verify gold with 100 percent certainty: melt it.
Verification requires destruction.
Bitcoin does not.
It self-verifies in seconds. No experts. No labs. No trust.
A public ledger secured by math, instantly checkable by 300 million people from anywhere in the world.
For 5,000 years, gold’s monetary premium came from scarcity.
But scarcity means nothing if authenticity cannot be proven.
The numbers most people never mention:
Five to ten percent of the global physical gold market is tied to counterfeit gold.
Every vault, every bar, every transfer relies on trusting someone.
Bitcoin requires trusting no one.
Gold’s market cap of 29 trillion dollars is built on “Trust me.”
Bitcoin’s 1.8 trillion is built on “Verify it yourself.”
This is not a battle between speculation and stability.
It is a full inversion of verification costs in the 21st century.
When the leading voice of the gold camp cannot verify the bar in his own hand, the argument writes itself.
Physical assets that cannot prove themselves will lose their monetary premium to digital assets that can prove themselves every 10 minutes, every block, forever.
The question is no longer “Is Bitcoin real money?”
The real question is: “Was gold ever verifiable money in the first place?”
