Ethereum Wallet MetaMask Adds Stablecoin Yield With DeFi Giant Aave
MetaMask, the Ethereum-based crypto wallet, is offering its users the ability to earn interest on their stablecoins thanks to a new partnership with decentralized lending protocol Aave. The feature, called Stablecoin Earn, gives MetaMask's million-plus users access to yield on USDC, USDT and DAI without leaving their wallet. The earnings come from Aave's lending infrastructure, which offers yield in exchange for depositing assets that can be borrowed by others. Stablecoins, which have become one of the hottest areas in crypto thanks in part to new legislation in the U.S., grew out of the DeFi space initially. Earning passive yield on stablecoins inside the MetaMask wallet, which has been focused on staking services and Web3 access, removes the need to navigate complex decentralized finance (DeFi) interfaces or third-party platforms, the company said. MetaMask, built by core Ethereum development firm Consensys back in 2016 has a solid partner in Aave, which claims to be the largest DeFi lending protocol by total value locked at over $50 billion. The Mastercard-powered MetaMask payment card is also part of the integration, the companies said, allowing users to spend Aave's yield-bearing aUSDC directly in real-world transactions while continuing to earn yield until the moment of spending. 'MetaMask is the most popular way for people to access Web3, with millions of users. This partnership brings DeFi earning opportunities straight into the wallets people already use, helping them get more from their assets and take control of their financial future,' said Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs in a statement.

Valu Offers Financial Solutions for 'Learn to Earn' Initiative Launched by RoboGarden Egypt to Equip Egyptian Youth with Digital Job-Market Skills
Lamise Negm: This initiative embodies a deeply human dimension and opens doors to technology for marginalized groups Engy El Sabban: Our goal is to train 1،000 learners by the end of 2025 Valu، MENA's leading universal financial technology powerhouse، has announced its partnership with RoboGarden Egypt، the AI-powered EdTech platform، to provide flexible payment plans for the 'Learn to Earn' initiative. This initiative seeks to empower youth across Egypt — with a special focus on women and people with disabilities — by providing specialized digital training programs designed to equip them with the skills needed to thrive in today's evolving job market. The initiative features an innovative approach that promotes equal opportunity in education by offering a hybrid learning experience. Combined with Valu's flexible payment solutions، it ensures that high-quality digital training is accessible and affordable to all. 'Learn to Earn' marks a significant milestone for both companies، with strong strategic value for the supporting entities. For Valu، this collaboration represents an opportunity to expand its diverse portfolio in lifestyle enablement، particularly in skill development and education — in alignment with national development goals and impactful community engagement. Commenting on the partnership، Walid Hassouna، CEO of Valu، said: 'This collaboration reflects Valu's deep-rooted commitment to education and to the community we serve. As we expand beyond the traditional buy-now-pay-later model، initiatives like 'Learn to Earn' allow us to channel our financial tools toward meaningful، long-term impact. By partnering with RoboGarden Egypt، we're enabling individuals — particularly those from less fortunate communities — to acquire in-demand skills and unlock economic opportunities.' The program features a comprehensive، engaging learning experience — including self-paced content، live online sessions، and in-person workshops. Pathways such as web development open real opportunities for employment or freelance work in Egypt's digital economy. Participants receive a certificate upon completing 75% of the content، with their progress tracked through analytics، attendance، and assessments. As part of its commitment to supporting the initiative، Valu is hosting five training cohorts at Valu Café، sponsoring a total of 20 students، with four participants from each cohort receiving a 50% discount on the program fees. Lamise Negm، Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of RoboGarden Egypt and Advisor to the Chairman of the Financial Regulatory Authority، expressed her pride and appreciation for launching this initiative، noting that it transcends traditional digital education to represent a deeply human mission. Negm stated: "What makes this initiative truly special is its focus on traditionally marginalized groups—women، people with disabilities، and youth in remote areas—by opening doors to the tech sector without requiring them to abandon their daily lives or overcome insurmountable barriers. It offers real opportunities for professional growth and economic empowerment by building solid bridges between education and employment. This reflects a conscious collaboration between the private sector and development partners to create a more just and inclusive tech landscape—one where no one is left behind." Engy El Sabban، CEO and Co-founder of RoboGarden Egypt، added: 'Through this initiative، we aim to extend RoboGarden's reach to the underserved youth، women، and people with disabilities — empowering them with remote work opportunities and flexible career paths. Our hybrid model proves scalable in the local market. We target more than 1،000 trainees across Egypt by the end of the year. Early pilot groups، delivered in collaboration with both local and international organizations، have shown strong support across sectors — and Valu's contribution will be instrumental in scaling our impact.' El Sabban noted that five training cohorts will be held under this partnership، with 25 participants in each — reaching a total of 125 learners. She emphasized that vocational and skills-based training is key to enhancing labor market competitiveness in Egypt، especially amid global economic shifts and the growing reliance on technology. Statistics show that around 60% of Egyptian university graduates struggle to secure employment immediately after graduation due to the gap between educational outcomes and market needs.

'All-time classic series' dubbed a 'television masterpiece' is now streaming free
It has been added to the platform for free as part of a new deal An 'all-time classic series' dubbed a 'television masterpiece' is now streaming for free. The first season of award-winning comedy drama series Atlanta, is now available to watch at no extra cost on ITVX. The show, created by Donald Glover, otherwise known as Childish Gambino was produced by FX and previously only accessible via Disney+. However, thanks to a unique deal between the two companies, the broadcaster and corporation behind Star Wars and Marvel, have begun to swap titles on each other's streaming platforms. From today (July 16) the first batch was made available on ITVX under the banner, Taste of Disney+. This includes season one of Atlanta. Although the remaining three seasons remain available only on Disney+. The show boasts a near perfect score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and would go on to pick up seven Emmys during its four season run. Glover stars as Earn, who works as a manager for his cousin Alfred, an upcoming rapper, and they try to make a name for themselves in the music industry. Throughout, Earn struggles with providing for his child and long term partner. The show also provided breakout roles for Brian Tyree Henry who would go on to feature in the Spider-Verse movies, Knives Out star LaKeith Stanfield and Deadpool 2's Zazie Beetz. Atlanta was an instant hit with the critics and is expected to have its fanbase grow even larger now the first season is available for free. Actually one of the best TV series ever in my opinion.. so many subtle messages to decipher from each episode and a great comedy aspect to it too. On its debut, The Guardian claimed it was 'the smartest and funniest show on TV.' Viewers were also full of praise, with one posting on Metacritic saying: "A television masterpiece. Donald Glover has created an all-time classic series. Has a ton of rewatchability. It's hilarious, inciteful and just feels fresh. Easy 10/10." Another described what they admire about it in more detail: "One of THE best shows on TV right now. Don't watch it expecting a clean cut story line. It has one but the focus is not really on that. The show presents real and surreal situations and moments to force the audience to think critically (or not) about those situations. "It can be funny, it can be dramatic, it can be creepy and scary, which is what makes Atlanta so great and different from a lot of tv shows who choose to stay in one or two lanes.." Someone else shared their thoughts online saying: "One of the best written shows to date. Real, fleshed-out characters you actually care about. Compelling story that has meaning without being too on-the-nose. Witty and funny and entertaining, I would definitely recommend giving Atlanta a go."

Sentz launches ‘Sentz Earn' to help users earn up to 8% annually on their stablecoin balance
Global payments app, Sentz, has announced the official launch of 'Sentz Earn', a rewards feature that allows Nigerian users to grow their eUSD stablecoin balance by up to 8% annually while maintaining full control of their funds. This self-custodial solution addresses the growing demand for accessible dollar-based options to preserve and grow their wealth in Nigeria's volatile economic climate. While other platforms force users to choose between earning rewards and maintaining control of their money, Sentz's self-custodial nature allows Earn to eliminate this compromise by offering daily-compounding rewards without requiring users to lock funds. "Regular financial systems often make users choose between growth and control," said Sara Drakeley, CEO of Sentz. "Sentz Earn represents a third option; one where users can watch their dollar balance grow while retaining complete ownership of their funds at all times." The feature has already gained significant traction during its beta phase, with early adopters reporting their appreciation for its accessibility and returns. Digital marketer Isaac Olukayode, one of the early adopters of Sentz Earn, described the experience: 'The process of earning is seamless. I just opted in to Earn on my Sentz app, and my rewards started showing up automatically on the same day. I didn't need to lock my money or move it to a separate wallet. I see my earnings grow daily and can withdraw anytime.' In the Sentz app, customers can fund their wallet with Naira, USDT, or USDC. These funds are automatically converted to eUSD — Sentz's native stablecoin, designed to hold a steady $1 value. eUSD is backed by a mix of stablecoins like USDT and USDC, helping protect customer funds and reduce the risk of 'depegging' — when a stablecoin drifts from its 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar. Nigerian Country Manager, Mercy Emmanuel, emphasised that the product is a direct response to user feedback: "After countless conversations with Nigerian users, we heard one consistent message, people want their money to work harder for them without processes or loss of control. That's exactly what Sentz Earn delivers." One major perk of Sentz Earn is that rewards become claimable once they reach $0.01 and can be tracked in real-time through the Sentz app. Users can watch their balance grow within the app and can see updates daily. Unlike traditional savings products or staking platforms, Sentz Earn imposes no lockup periods. Users can withdraw and send their funds earned through the program without delays or penalties, or exit the program at any time. This launch comes as Nigerians increasingly seek financial tools that offer both stability and growth potential. Sentz Earn is now available to all Nigerian users through the Sentz mobile app on Android and iOS. About Sentz Sentz Global is redefining the future of global payments by offering instant, affordable, and secure transactions across borders. As a free global payments app, Sentz makes it easy for Nigerians to send, receive, and earn in stablecoins — all while keeping full control of their money through self-custody. With users in over 180 countries — including hundreds of thousands in Nigeria — Sentz empowers freelancers, remote workers, families sending remittances, and anyone who wants to get paid or earn rewards in stable currency. Headquartered in Sacramento, California, Sentz uses advanced network technology to make international payments as easy as sending a text. With a focus on speed, privacy, and accessibility, Sentz is committed to building a more inclusive global financial system. Learn more at.
