[PRESS RELEASE – KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, June 4th, 2026]
ChangeNOW, a non-custodial crypto management platform extending beyond exchange services with a full suite of B2B solutions for businesses in the digital asset space, is pleased to announce that it has been named “Best Digital Assets Fintech” at the BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards 2026. The award, which honors the businesses influencing institutional cryptocurrency adoption worldwide, was given out at the actual ceremony, which took place live at Proof of Talk, the Louvre Palace in Paris.
About the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 Awards
The BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 is one of the most credible and rigorous independent media award programmes in the digital assets space. The awards, which cover 24 competitive categories across six pillars: Regulation & Governance, Capital Markets & Infrastructure, Retail to Crypto Bridge, Digital Assets, Tokenization & On-Chain Finance, and Enterprise Blockchain, are assessed using a two-stage process that includes blind scoring by an independent Expert Council of leaders in traditional finance and digital assets after proprietary quantitative screening using on-chain data and company disclosures.
With a global audience of 7–11 million monthly readers across 26 languages and a B2B community of over 20,000 verified professionals (70% of whom operate at C-level) a win at the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 carries significant weight across the digital finance industry.
ChangeNOW received the Best Digital Assets Fintech nomination in the Retail to Crypto Bridge category alongside Revolut, a European neobank. This award recognizes platforms that provide exceptional service at the intersection of traditional finance and the crypto economy.
ChangeNOW the Best Digital Assets Fintech Winner
ChangeNOW initially is a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange that was established in 2017 with the goal of making it easy and accessible for everyone to trade digital assets. It serves eight million people globally and supports over 1500 digital assets.
Today its robust infrastructure spans both retail and business use cases. Alongside its web platform, iOS and Android apps, and NOW Wallet for self-custody, ChangeNOW offers a range of B2B products including NOWPayments for crypto payment processing, NOWNodes for blockchain infrastructure access, NOW Custody for digital asset storage, and a business API that enables wallets, fintech platforms, and financial services to integrate exchange functionality directly into their products.
Over the years, ChangeNOW has processed millions of transactions and built a client base that includes both individual clients and commercial partners across the digital asset space.
Industry Recognition and Company Response
Winning the Best Digital Assets Fintech Award goes way beyond just picking up a new industry title. Getting this nod from BeInCrypto matters immensely to the team. The BeInCrypto team’s endorsement indicates that the ChangeNOW platform’s speed and institutional standing truly stand out in a competitive market because of their robust reputation for editorial independence and strict grading.
These kinds of milestones don’t happen by coincidence. This win is the direct result of serious work from the whole ChangeNOW crew, alongside the trust of millions of clients who choose the platform over the alternatives. It keeps them right where they want to be: acting as a reliable fintech bridge connecting regular folks to the wider 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 to applaud, ChangeNOW is taking advantage of this momentum to accelerate the extension and improvement of its service offerings. The organization intends to outperform the changing needs of both regular traders and institutional clients. In the following months, work will focus on several key initiatives:
- Leading the way with RWA Integration and Asset Expansion: The platform is rapidly expanding its listings of supported assets and market pairs, with a strong strategic focus on the growing Real-World Assets (RWAs) sector, as well as new networks and tokens. This expansion is intended to provide maximum trading flexibility and deep liquidity for highly sought-after, tokenized physical assets that are difficult to access through traditional centralized channels.
- Strategic Ecosystem Activation via the Fast-Track Program: Moving far beyond standard API infrastructure, the Fast-Track program is designed to enhance marketing strategy and visibility. It helps wallets start monetizing from day one. This proven framework includes pre-built infrastructure and comprehensive marketing support, such as targeted placement in crypto media outlets, partner posts on ChangeNOW’s social media channels, and participation in Tier-1 conferences with more than fifteen thousand attendees.
- Elevating the Client Experience: A number of product improvements, including more advanced trading tools, personalization features, and interface redesigns, are in the works. Reducing the gap between what a client wants to achieve and what the platform makes simple is the same objective shared by all of them. Depending on who is using it, that matters in different ways. It implies less guessing in the beginning for someone who is new to cryptocurrency. It implies fewer stages between concept and execution for seasoned traders.
ChangeNOW views this award not as a destination, but as a benchmark. The team remains committed to the values that earned this recognition: transparency, accessibility, and relentless improvement.
