At ChangeNOW we spend a lot of time making swaps happen. So at TOKEN2049 @MassFromCrypto decided it was time to take the concept IRL. One mystery box. Two strangers willing to trade. And one simple goal: turn it into the best merch haul on the floor. Spoiler: the swap worked. We unboxed the final haul on camera — and @CoinRabbitLoans took our unofficial title for the best merch at @token2049. Shoutout to @BloFin_Official too — your guys merch definitely made the shortlist. See how it all turned out on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=MhyDqXch…

Wallets started on paper. Now they’re learning to work with AI agents. At #TOKEN2049, we sat down with @MetaMask and @Trezor at our booth to talk about where wallets are heading: simpler cross-chain swaps, smoother onboarding, and AI agents that act for you while you still sign off on every move. 🎙 Francesco, Director of DevRel, @MetaMask 🎙 Denis, Software Product Lead at @Trezor 🎙 Yana, our Head of B2B & Partnerships Moderated by Kelvin Sparks of @TheBlockCo One point they all agreed on: trust comes first, features second. Would you let an AI agent use your wallet? Watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=jBiQIQJj…

Same Bitcoin profit, three very different tax outcomes in APAC: - India: 30% on taxable gains, plus levies - Japan: up to ~55% today, with a flat ~20% planned - Singapore: generally no capital gains tax on personal investments Rules for businesses differ just as much. As Petr Sergeev, CEO of @guardarian_com, told @CPOfficialtx at TOKEN2049: “You cannot take the same business model that works in one jurisdiction and assume it would immediately apply everywhere else.” Where does your market stand? Our guide covers 17 APAC markets: changenow.io/blog/crypto-reg…

At #TOKEN2049, we sat down with our partners to ask what turns a crypto app into a daily habit. Is it payments, trading, saving or cross-border transfers? And does that habit even need to feel like crypto? Thank you to our speakers: 🎙 Alex Radu, CEO at @PulsarMoneyApp 🎙 Alexandra Korneva, Co-Founder at @CryptoRubic 🎙 Vladimir Kislinskiy, Head of Technical Development & Support at @HerculisCoin 🎙 Michelle Herman, Director of Business Development at @CoinRoutes Hosted by @paulineshangett, our CSO. Tell us: what’s the one action that keeps you coming back to the same crypto app? Watch the full panel below 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=c1vpqf6-…

For @InternetMoneyio, integrating ChangeNOW was the simple part. Most of the work went into building swap screens across its three apps. Now, the wallet earns a share of every cross-chain swap. See how integration can unlock new revenue opportunities for your wallet. theblock.co/sponsored/2026-1…

Bitpanda’s ecosystem, in one token. $VSN by @vsntoken is used for staking, governance and fee discounts across the Bitpanda DeFi Wallet, its launchpad and Vision Chain. Vision Chain is Bitpanda’s Ethereum L2 for tokenized real-world assets, built for EU rules like MiCA and MiFID II. Part of its revenue goes to $VSN buybacks and burns.

Why buy a stablecoin stock instead of the stablecoin? Crypto has a brilliant infrastructure with a front door that’s either hard to find or stuck. Seed phrases, wallet addresses, networks, gas fees: all before your first transaction. So TradFi is bringing crypto closer to people in a familiar wrapper. As @faraj_abut from @StellarOrg put it in a recent interview, many of us may soon use blockchain without even knowing it. 👉 Find out what stablecoin stocks are and why investors pick them over tokens on our blog: changenow.io/blog/what-are-s…

A wallet that could hold 70+ chains, but couldn’t swap them! In 2021, @zelcore_io was scaling fast. Users could store assets across dozens of blockchains, but to trade they had to leave the wallet. Building an exchange in-house meant KYC, AML, and licensing, which clashed with Zelcore’s non-custodial, zero-knowledge model. So they integrated the ChangeNOW API instead. Five years later, ChangeNOW is the wallet’s most-used swap route. Do you use the same tool for many years, or do you prefer to experiment and observe changes?

$INJ is the native coin of @injective, a Layer 1 built for finance. It powers staking, governance and weekly burn auctions, where 60% of dApp fees are used to buy back and burn INJ. Now $INJ is heading toward Wall Street: 21Shares, Canary and REX-Osprey have filed for U.S. INJ ETFs, including a staked version. Get $INJ in the ChangeNOW app: changenow.io/currencies/inj?…

Crypto removed the middleman. It didn’t remove the middleman’s job. As our Head of Growth, @teopeperone, puts it: today, clients are expected to handle networks, gas fees, private keys, and security on their own. That’s a lot to ask from someone who just wants to send money. That same challenge was at the heart of our TOKEN2049 panel, where industry leaders discussed why crypto UX still falls behind the technology, and what good UX looks like when something goes wrong. Their conclusion: the focus should be shifted from "more features" to smoother user experience. Thank you to Sean Moynihan of @BanxaOfficial, Krishna Kumar of @RocketXexchange, Dayana Aleksandrova of @WalletConnect, and Harry Bridge of @aztecnetwork for their in-depth insights. Why the real test of good UX is what happens when things go wrong. changenow.io/blog/crypto-ux-…

Why would a business pay $40 for a SWIFT transfer when a stablecoin transfer costs less than a cent? The tech is cheaper. But habits run deep, and the real reason is trust. “Everyone is making decisions based on how much they trust the particular counterparty and the cost.” — @faraj_abut, Senior Advisor Middle East at @StellarOrg, in an interview during TOKEN2049 That trust is exactly what Visa and Mastercard have built over decades. We also look at the roadblocks to global adoption that Eric Chen (@ericinjective), CEO of @injective, and Tyler Bond from @near_intents discussed in their interviews during #TOKEN2049. Visa or Mastercard: which path will win? Compare both strategies on our blog. changenow.io/blog/visa-vs-ma…
