Twispay Acquisition

Elrond Network, layer 1 blockchain with a core focus on scalability, has taken over Romanian payments organization Twispay, and with this confirmation to issue E-money by Romanian Central Bank.

Before this acquisition, Elrond Network took over payments gateway Utrust before, where financial details remained a mystery, but Beniamin Mincu, blockchain’s Chief Executive Officer, thinks it’s a “landmark decision,” with respect to the central bank of Europe.

He stated in an interview that, this indicates that central banks might be shifting from counterpoint to cryptocurrency space, towards a more neutral or even possibly favorable point.

Romanian National Bank’s representative verified through e-mail that Elrond got validation for acquiring E-money’s license.

E-money is widely considered as a digital store of financial value utilized for making transactions to bodies other than electronic money’s issuer. As a traditional mode of payment, it’s been around for more than a decade, revered in EU directives as well as controlled by central banks.

An interesting fact is, the European Union Commission’s proposal of MiCA stipulates that licensed electronic money institutions will have authority to issue stablecoins, Mincu indicated.

Mincu stated that they are having serious debates with the Central Bank of Romania regarding the acquisition of an E-money licensed institution enabling them to make stablecoins, for example, in a legitimate and compliant way.

Elrond’s Possession Of Utrust

Before this acquisition, Elrond also took possession of another payment organization Utrust, based in Portugal. Terms of the deal remained in the shadows. Both projects have tokens, and the organization stated that the integrated community will be upgraded in 2022. A primary objective for the Ethereum contender was to increase its transactions handling to 100,000 TPS.

Enabling digital transactions to enjoy the perks of Web3.0, the evolution of the internet developed around dApps, is a primary aim for Utrust as well as Elrond.

Utrust integration with Elrond, next moves include providing merchants accessibility to DeFi and staking based on DeFi, called “Merchant Yield.”

The strategy is to shift transaction processing facilities from a merchant’s value into an income stream, organizations said.

What Is Merchant Yield?

So now we have mentioned it, the way stuff operates today, transaction processors still offer leisure settlement time and charge merchants around 3-11% of every transaction, stated Beniamin Mincu.

He stated in an interview it is a superlative alternate of seamless immediate and cheap payments globally is already a massive move.

He further added that it isn’t that be mesmerizing that rather than charging certain fees to merchants, they can generate yield for compensating what they are throwing on fees and might receive an addition of 5% in their yield.

Mysteriously, Merchant Yield App, which will step into beta testing in 1st half of this year, will consist of several tiers of return vs. risk, ranging from staking on Elrond PoS blockchain to taking part in DeFi protocols.
