[PRESS RELEASE – KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, June 4th, 2026]
ChangeNOW, a non-custodial crypto management platform that goes beyond simple exchange services to offer a full suite of B2B solutions for businesses in the digital asset sector, has been named “Best Digital Assets Fintech” at the BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards 2026. The award, recognizing companies that drive institutional cryptocurrency adoption worldwide, was presented at the live ceremony held at the Proof of Talk event in the Louvre Palace, Paris.
About the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 Awards
The BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards are among the most rigorous and respected independent media award programs in the digital assets industry. Covering 24 competitive categories across six pillars — Regulation & Governance, Capital Markets & Infrastructure, Retail to Crypto Bridge, Digital Assets, Tokenization & On-Chain Finance, and Enterprise Blockchain — the awards use a two-stage evaluation process. Entries are first subject to proprietary quantitative screening using on-chain data and company disclosures, then undergo blind scoring by an independent Expert Council composed of leaders from traditional finance and digital assets.
With a global audience of 7–11 million monthly readers across 26 languages and a B2B community of more than 20,000 verified professionals — around 70% at C-level — recognition at the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 carries considerable prestige across digital finance.
ChangeNOW earned the Best Digital Assets Fintech nomination within the Retail to Crypto Bridge category alongside Revolut, the European neobank. This award highlights platforms that excel at bridging traditional financial services and the crypto ecosystem.
ChangeNOW: Best Digital Assets Fintech Winner
Founded in 2017 as a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange, ChangeNOW set out to make trading digital assets straightforward and accessible. The platform now serves over eight million users and supports more than 1,500 digital assets.
ChangeNOW’s infrastructure supports both retail and enterprise use cases. In addition to its web platform and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and the NOW Wallet for self-custody, the company provides a suite of B2B products: NOWPayments for crypto payment processing, NOWNodes for blockchain infrastructure access, NOW Custody for institutional-grade storage, and a business API that enables wallets, fintech platforms, and financial services to integrate exchange functionality directly into their products.
Over the years the platform has processed millions of transactions and developed a diverse client base that includes individual users and commercial partners across the digital asset space.
Industry Recognition and Company Response
Receiving the Best Digital Assets Fintech Award is more than a title for ChangeNOW — it is an affirmation of the platform’s speed, reliability, and standing in a competitive market. The award’s credibility stems from BeInCrypto’s editorial independence and rigorous evaluation process.
ChangeNOW attributes this achievement to sustained effort by its team and the trust of millions of users who choose the platform. The recognition reinforces the company’s role as a dependable fintech bridge that connects everyday users with the broader digital asset economy.
“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 honoured to be recognised 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.
Planned Platform Developments
Rather than pause, ChangeNOW plans to leverage this momentum to accelerate enhancements across its services, addressing the evolving needs of retail and institutional users. Key initiatives planned for the coming months include:
- RWA Integration and Asset Expansion: The platform is expanding its asset listings and trading pairs with a strategic emphasis on Real-World Assets (RWAs), new networks, and tokens. This drive aims to deliver deeper liquidity and broader access to tokenized physical assets that are often hard to reach through traditional centralized channels.
- Fast-Track Program and Ecosystem Activation: Beyond standard API offerings, the Fast-Track program is built to boost marketing, visibility, and monetization for partners from day one. The program combines pre-built infrastructure with marketing support, including targeted media placement, partner promotion via ChangeNOW’s social channels, and participation at Tier-1 conferences with significant attendee numbers.
- Enhanced Client Experience: Product upgrades are planned to introduce more advanced trading tools, personalization features, and refreshed interfaces. The aim is to reduce friction: helping newcomers navigate crypto with fewer unknowns while enabling experienced traders to execute strategies with fewer steps.
ChangeNOW treats this award as a benchmark rather than a destination, remaining committed to the core values that earned recognition: transparency, accessibility, and continuous improvement.
