As demand continues to grow for crypto investors to make payments with digital assets, $1.9 billion trading platform Voyager Digital Ltd. is making a big push into the space. Announced today, the publicly-listed firm has acquired Denmark-based crypto payment platform Coinify in an $85 million deal.
Founded in 2014, Coinify’s crypto payments infrastructure allows merchants to accept digital assets while receiving payouts in traditional currencies. It supports over 20 fiat currencies and is available in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. It also offers a bill payment mechanism allowing users to invoice customers and accept payment in crypto.
“We think payments is the next frontier,” Stephen Ehrlich, CEO and Co-founder of Voyager told Forbes in an exclusive interview ahead of the announcement.
Over the next year, Voyager plans to integrate its systems with Coinify’s payment processing platform to enable customers to make payments directly from their digital asset accounts, cutting out the fees associated with traditional payment infrastructures or on-chain transactions. As part of the acquisition deal, Coinify shareholders will receive 5,100,000 of newly issued shares of Voyager common stock and $15 million in cash.
Ehrlich noted that the decision to acquire Coinify came as the Voyager team noticed increasing customer demand to both make and receive payments in cryptocurrencies, particularly in the form of Circle’s USDC stablecoin. USDC is currently the world’s second largest-stablecoin by market cap ($27.25 billion), and is growing faster than industry leader tether (market capitalization of $64.4 billion), which has been beset by controversy.
“We believe the USDC stablecoin is the best stablecoin on the market and that customers want to receive payments in that,” Ehrlich says. “We see this vision of payments being the next frontier on top of trading and investing.”
The Voyager-Coinify tie-up also comes as Visa and Mastercard, the world’s largest electronic payment networks, are both building out their crypto businesses. Mastercard announced in July it had streamlined its process for crypto firms to offer payment cards. Similarly, Visa is increasingly growing its crypto-linked debit card business and this month launched the first crypto rewards credit card in partnership with crypto firm BlockFi. As another signal of USDC’s growing potential in the payments space, Visa began accepting the stablecoin to settle transactions earlier this month.
As Coinify gets integrated into Voyager’s systems, Ehrlich noted that his strategy over coming months is focused on growth as the financial industry continues to evolve. He also believes that as a public company with public equity and $200 million cash on its balance sheet, Voyager has an edge as it continues to scan the market for potential future growth-oriented acquisitions.
“There’s two of us public today: Coinbase and us,” Ehrlich says. “I know a lot of people have said they want to go public, let’s see how quickly they get there. We still have this lead on everybody when it comes to that and we’ll take advantage of that and look at more M&A transactions, but I think we have other advantages too. We’re a nimble company, our management team has been in this industry and capital markets a long time so we understand acquisitions.”

I missed the swap. 
Did anyone here own any Substratum tokens?
I received thousands in airdrop 2 years ago of the MASQ tokens and didn’t realize it was a fork of Substratum.

MASQ v2 Utility Token Swap
The MASQ team is excited for the future of our project — especially since our recent partnership with Linkswap was announced.

This is the video everyone should watch. Mandatory.
We all saw in 2017-2018 when Chase CEO JAmie Dimon LIED TO people and tell people not to buy bitcoin and the next day his VPs are grouped together saying they want to get into Blockchains. I SEEN THE SHIT WITH MY EYES. TRUST YOUSELF AND YOUR OWN INSTINCTS.
Where can I go to find which coins Coinbase is scheduled to list?
I know you see Solana acting up in your portfolio
I think $KIN switched to the Solana Blockchain from Stellar after squaring up with the SEC

If anybody's staking Cardano (ADA), consider "staking" to a "MELD" stakepool that acts as their Initial Stake Pool Offering (ISPO) (as opposed to an ICO). MELD is another crypto loan attempt (set to run on Cardano after smart contracts are implemented). You stake to their pool, giving them your staking interest, then they send you your proportional share of MELD December 8. If it blows up big, you could be in on the ground floor.
I plan to stake with MELD until "SundaeSwap", which is Cardano's take on "Uniswap", opens their ISPO. If you've got Cardano bags this is the chance to get on early. No region restriction or KYC necessary.
If you do this play, you gotta hope that the return on your ISPO coins will be worth more than you would have received staking, so as always, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

Check their Twitter everyday.they let you know ahead of time but it's a short window between when they tell you and when it drops on pro then regular coinbase.
Thanks for the info. Ima Cardano holder, so gonna try to decipher this a bit and take advantage. Appreciate it.
Coinbase Pro usually lists a week before Coinbase gets a hold of it. Another method is to study the names and companies involved and knowing which ones have Coinbase affiliations which is usually a tell.
Any clarifying info you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated...IJS
I have to get up to speed on staking, the diff exchanges, and some of the more advanced jargon in general. At the moment, I keep it pretty basic just messing with BTC, ETH and ADA via Coinbase. Trying to keep my shit as simple as possible, but also trying to know my options..

thanks
Understood… me, I spent $15 $20 on different things that I see highlighted in this thread and also based oh based on other tips that I overhear. Still getting my mind around how it all works, I'm on different exchanges for the different coins hoping that 1 of the ones I just happened to throw something against the wall with with pop's big. Been holding for a while and will continue to do so…
I sold Solana a while ago so I missed this current pump. Looking to get back in IF it crashes from this current pump. If not, back on ETH and BTC mostly with some AAVE and FTT on the side.
