ChangeNOW, a non-custodial crypto management platform offering a full suite of B2B solutions for businesses in the digital asset space, has been named “Best Digital Assets Fintech” at the BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 Awards 2026. The award was presented at a live ceremony held at the Louvre Palace in Paris during Proof of Talk.

About the BeInCrypto Institutional 100 Awards

The BeInCrypto x Proof of Talk Institutional 100 is one of the most credible and rigorous independent award programmes in the digital assets industry. Spanning 24 categories across six pillars — Regulation & Governance, Capital Markets & Infrastructure, Retail to Crypto Bridge, Digital Assets, Tokenization & On-Chain Finance, and Enterprise Blockchain — the awards are assessed through a two-stage process: proprietary quantitative screening using on-chain data and company disclosures, followed by blind scoring by an independent Expert Council 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 over 20,000 verified professionals — 70% of whom operate at C-level — a win at the Institutional 100 carries genuine weight across the digital finance industry.

ChangeNOW received the Best Digital Assets Fintech award in the Retail to Crypto Bridge category, alongside fellow nominee Revolut — recognition for platforms delivering exceptional service at the intersection of traditional finance and the crypto economy.

ChangeNOW the Best Digital Assets Fintech Winner

Founded in 2017 with a simple goal — making digital asset trading easy and accessible for everyone — ChangeNOW has grown into a platform serving 8 million users globally across more than 1,500 supported digital assets.

Today, its 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 suite of B2B products: 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.

What the Award Means

For the ChangeNOW team, the Best Digital Assets Fintech award carries weight precisely because of where it comes from. BeInCrypto’s reputation for editorial independence and rigorous scoring means this isn’t an honorary title — it’s a reflection of genuine platform performance, speed, and institutional standing in a competitive market.

Milestones like this don’t happen by accident. This win is the result of sustained work from the entire ChangeNOW team, built on the trust of millions of users who choose the platform over the alternatives. It reinforces what ChangeNOW has always set out to be: a reliable fintech bridge connecting everyday people to 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 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.

Planned Platform Developments

Rather than pause to applaud, ChangeNOW is leveraging this momentum to accelerate the expansion and enhancement 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.

For ChangeNOW, this award isn’t a destination — it’s a benchmark. The team remains committed to the values that earned it: transparency, accessibility, and a relentless drive to improve.
