ChangeNOW won Best Digital Assets Fintech at the BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards 2026, announced during Proof of Talk in Paris.
Why This Award Is More Than a Badge
While industry accolades can vary in significance, ChangeNOW’s recent award in the Retail-to-Crypto Bridge category carries real weight. This category specifically honors infrastructure that makes digital assets accessible and integrates them seamlessly into everyday consumer applications. Sharing the nominee shortlist with major fintech players like Revolut underscores the true caliber of this recognition.
How ChangeNOW Moved Beyond Exchange
That shift mirrors ChangeNOW’s evolution since 2017. What started as a simple non-custodial swap service has grown into an ecosystem that serves over 8 million users and supports 1,500+ assets. Currently, the suite features a web platform, mobile apps, NOW Wallet, NOWPayments, NOWNodes, NOW Custody, and a dedicated API. This changes the whole build-versus-integrate dynamic for Web3 teams.
Launching crypto products means you’re already fighting battles over compliance constraints, profit margins, and user experience—there is no reason to build the basic plumbing yourself. But this stack removes the heaviest engineering burden: your team can launch faster and focus entirely on the business model, knowing that the core blockchain rails are already built and tested. That is the practical meaning behind the award. ChangeNOW was recognized for reaching beyond exchange, connecting retail crypto access with business-grade digital asset infrastructure.
What It Means for the Team
"This recognition means a lot to our team because it reflects the trust our clients place in us every day. From the beginning, our goal has been to make crypto simple, accessible, and reliable for everyone, regardless of their experience level. We're honored to be recognized by BeInCrypto and see this award as both a celebration of what we've achieved and a motivation to keep raising the standard for the industry," says Elena Dali Bey, Senior Business Development Manager at ChangeNOW.
Next, ChangeNOW will focus on specific product work:
- Expand supported assets and networks, including selected RWA-related assets.
- Continue developing the Fast-Track Program for wallet and ecosystem partners.
- Improve product experience across trading tools, personalization, interface flows, and partner-facing journeys.
For teams building wallets and crypto-enabled payment products, the practical outcome is clear: stop rebuilding the rails before launch, and put that time into the product itself. To start integrating ChangeNOW exchange functionality, register for the API.
