ChangeNOW Expands Wallet to Include Sports Betting, Prediction Markets
At Consensus 2026 in Miami Beach, BeInCrypto interviewed Tim Stanyakin, Head of Growth at ChangeNOW, about the company's latest wallet expansions. ChangeNOW has built a comprehensive ecosystem including NOWPayments for crypto gateways, NOW Wallet (non-custodial), and NOWNodes for node infrastructure. The firm is integrating sports betting and prediction markets (e.g., Asper, PolyMarket, HyperLiquid) directly into its wallet, moving these activities on-chain. Additionally, ChangeNOW has integrated around 50 traditional finance assets such as gold, silver, and stocks (Nvidia, Exodus) to bridge DeFi and TradFi. The company aims to transform NOW Wallet into a super app by Q4 2026, featuring physical payments, AI engines, and advanced yield products. Regulatory challenges remain complex across regions, with the U.S. Clarity Act potentially boosting stablecoin adoption.
