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…

One app for everything, or one app per task? @MassFromCrypto, our Director of Strategic Partnerships, explained to @beincrypto at TOKEN2049 why access to users doesn’t guarantee adoption, and what does. Watch the interview, then tell us: what would make you use a crypto app daily?

Ever wondered why your rate on ChangeNOW isn’t the same as on other exchanges? Many exchangers lock in one liquidity provider per pair. We don’t. When you create a swap, we: 1. Scan the order books of several major exchanges at once. 2. Factor in each provider’s trading terms. 3. Pick the best price we find. Better trading terms on our side mean a better rate on yours.
