ChangeNOW expands NOW Wallet into crypto super app

ChangeNOW announced at Consensus 2026 in Miami Beach that it is expanding NOW Wallet into a single app combining a non‑custodial wallet, on‑chain sports betting and prediction markets, traditional finance assets and node and payments infrastructure.

Tim Stanyakin, Head of Growth at ChangeNOW, outlined the company’s offering as a layered platform that pairs consumer features with backend services for developers and enterprises. He described an ecosystem that includes NOWPayments, a merchant gateway; NOW Wallet, the non‑custodial wallet; and NOWNodes, the infrastructure provider that runs blockchain APIs and full nodes.

NOW Wallet has integrated on‑chain sports betting and prediction markets. The app includes market and betting providers Asper, PolyMarket and HyperLiquid, allowing users to place bets and join prediction markets without leaving the wallet interface.

NOWNodes is presented as a scalable node platform for developers, enterprises and Web3 projects, providing APIs and full‑node infrastructure. NOWPayments functions as a crypto payment gateway for merchants and iGaming operators, handling both fiat and crypto flows.

The wallet retains private keys with users and supports transfers between trading, staking and betting functions while avoiding custody of user assets by the company.

ChangeNOW has added about 50 traditional finance instruments to the wallet, covering commodities such as gold and silver and major stocks including Nvidia. The company reports adding top assets on a monthly basis and frames the feature as a way to offer users access to both crypto and tradfi instruments in one app.

Regulatory considerations vary by market. ChangeNOW operates in the U.S., Canada and Europe and is pursuing expansion in the Asia‑Pacific region. Stanyakin highlighted differing government requirements, tax rules and compliance forms across jurisdictions and noted that U.S. legislation on stablecoins is moving toward a Senate vote.

The company plans further feature additions through 2026. Stanyakin outlined a roadmap that includes payments in the physical world, AI engines, new yield products and additional staking options, with broader capabilities projected by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026.

Wallets that combine multiple cryptocurrencies and traditional assets aim to provide unified access across token standards and asset classes. ChangeNOW’s combined front‑end products and node‑level services are intended to reduce integration work for partners and offer a range of financial activities within a single application.
