Earlier in March, Elrond Network acquired Twispay, a Romanian payments company, with the approval of the country’s central bank, the National Bank of Romania, to issue electronic money.

As covered by U.Today previously, Elrond Network (EGLD) recently acquired Utrust, a leading crypto payments product. As the Utrust suite of offerings includes instant transactions, buyer protection and crypto-to-cash conversion, this acquisition seeks to allow Elrond Network to change the game in e-commerce and cross-border payments.

Largely, Elrond Network (EGLD) hopes to advance its services for merchants that accept both cryptocurrency and fiat money. With Utrust’s mechanisms, Elrond will offer nearly instant settlements in an almost zero-fee manner.
