Tap Global was shortlisted for The ‘Leading Financial Services or Payments Start-Up’ category based on criteria s such as the benefits it provides to its end-users, how TAP stands out from its competitors due to its features and innovation, and the proven evidence of its success in the market.

“‘Tap was one of the first companies to launch a crypto prepaid payment card with Mastercard in the EU’ in 2020 and our cryptocurrency-to-fiat prepaid Mastercard and smartphone app give users the power to instantly trade all major cryptocurrencies to fiat, and to make purchases with their cryptocurrency”, comments David Carr, CEO at TAP GLOBAL.

“Tap’s proprietary AI Middleware connects to multiple exchanges simultaneously, automatically validating available liquidity and selecting the most competitive prices while facilitating trades in a matter of seconds. Users can convert their cryptocurrency assets to fiat instantly, allowing them to pay for goods or use an ATM anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Through the smartphone app, users can securely send and receive cryptocurrencies and fiat, view their transaction history, lock and unlock their card in case of loss and instantly view their PIN. Tap offers its users full EEA coverage for card, banking and cryptocurrencies and a named EUR IBAN and/or GBP Sort Code and Account Number, as well as secure, offline, cold storage behind a multi-signature wallet with the highest grade security for all cryptocurrency assets”, he further adds.

“It’s an honour to be shortlisted for this award which further recognizes the added value TAP brings to market and the benefits for our end-users. None of this would have been achievable without the hard work of our teams and the support of our partners”, says David.

Commenting on the announcement, Kriya Patel, CEO at Transact Payments adds, “The EPA awards are some of the most prestigious awards in our industry recognising companies that are making a real difference in driving innovation in payments. We’re delighted to be working with TAP Global and being shortlisted for this award.”

This year has proved to be an exciting one for the crypto adopters, with markets taking turns playing out to bulls’ and bears’ delights. Bitcoin crossed the $66,000 mark for the first time in history, and with that, a new data trend has emerged which has shone a light on a significant gap in the market.

Here we explore the vast potential of the integration of the corporate market into the crypto industry. Recent data has exposed the large gap between crypto trading taking place on major exchanges. It has been discovered that there is little trading activity between the retail or institutional type of trader, setting two extremes: retail investors trade hundreds to several thousands of dollars while institutional investors trade millions.

In other markets, this range is generally made up of family offices ,mid-to-large corporations, or high-net-worth individuals. However, in the crypto space it appears that navigating the $100,000–$500,000 trading bracket is not as common.

‍

An Overview of the ever-expanding cryptocurrency market

According to a study conducted by Chainalysis, cryptocurrencies usage across the globe increased by 880% when compared to that of last year. Meanwhile, experts forecast that this number is likely to increase. In 2021, major companies across many industries have taken an interest or invested in cryptocurrency and blockchain.

Cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly popular, especially among institutions. This demonstrates that interest is no longer restricted to individual crypto aficionado traders. Large financial firms like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs have invested in cryptocurrencies, showing the potential of this asset class.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have grown popular and should be perceived as a positive development as it is a necessary step for cryptocurrencies to achieve widespread adoption. Some experts predict that more large, multinational businesses will accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology in the coming months.

Accepting cryptocurrencies as payment is something to consider if you run a business. As cryptocurrency adoption grows, so is the number of merchants who accept it.

‍

Bridging the gap

Several reasons why this corporate market is yet to engage in cryptocurrencies is believed to be due to the lack of trusted liquidity providers, reasonable pricing, banking partners or secure technology. If your company is interested in opening a corporate account enabling your business to accept crypto payment, transfer, billing, and trading, Tap can assist your venture getting started with cryptocurrencies.

Bridging the gap, Tap is launching a new service that will provide crypto exposure to this mid-range market through its trusted and verified mobile app. The new Corporate Account will provide specialised B2B services catered directly to companies looking to enter the world of cryptocurrencies.

Through these services, companies will be able to make and receive payments in the supported crypto and fiat currencies, enjoy reduced transaction fees through the native token XTP, as well as earn interest through the Earn feature. While the B2C market has become somewhat saturated, Tap Global has taken aim at the B2B market, providing an early entry, alongside transparent pricing, for corporate companies into the crypto sphere. 

As the financial landscape continues developing at a rapid pace, the app serves to provide an early and seamless approach to the future of payments that we are fast approaching. 

‍

From “Risky Investment” to global reserve

While Bitcoin hasn’t entirely evolved into a global reserve currency (yet), it has undoubtedly emerged from the speculative asset it was considered to be just several years ago. As crypto continues to break into new markets, the corporate market is growing in interest at a steady pace and seeking a way to integrate crypto payment and investments into their businesses.

With a range of reliable and tech-forward products on the market, there is little doubt that the rate of crypto adoption will continue to grow. While Tap provides a space for early adopters and high-net-worth investors, the company also opens its doors to a wide range of individuals and corporations, no matter where on the scale of net-worth or transaction volume they might sit.

Bitcoin has become a household name around the world, for very good reasons. The same way gold became the standard of currency, bitcoin is doing the same. With the rise of gold, we also saw a gold rush, as people flocked to the mines to find every flake of gold they could. Something similar is happening to bitcoin right now as the cryptocurrency mining rush has begun, with the world hiking up their ASIC miners to process as fast as possible.

Especially with talk of Elon Musk considering reinstating Bitcoin payments once the carbon emissions and energy consumption associated with bitcoin mining are decreased. But why the sudden rush? it is not just another bubble, it is about global economic sustainability and excelling cryptocurrencies. 

Where is the Bitcoin mining rush happening?

Although the whole world may be captivated by the potential of cryptocurrency, China has always been a top contender for miners. Despite the repeat FUD spreading around China and its acceptance of digital currency, China bitcoin mining once accounted for more than 70% of mining power. But this summer's sweeping crackdown in China has greatly increased profits for miners outside of the world's second-largest economy, with counties such as the USA, Russia, and Iran making up for lost blocks. These regulations won’t stop Chinese miners from doing what they need, they just may no longer be doing it within the borders of China. 

It was 2 months ago that Beijing made moves to crack down on cryptocurrency. One of the steps was halting the supply of power to bitcoin farms, giving Chinese miners no choice but to pack their bags for more crypto-friendly countries. Chinese researchers express data portraying excess use of electricity consumption, especially in these stressful times. 

What is Chinas’ issue with digital currency mining?

China has had numerous issues with cryptocurrencies over the years, first stating they didn’t want their economic wealth flooding into a global currency. They have potentially solved this problem as they announce their own digital currency created by a group of specialist. China’s digital currency, the digital yuan, is controlled by its central bank which will issue the new currency. Now they may have created a digital form of currency, but it is nowhere near cryptocurrency, aside from some computational comparisons. China plans to strip away the anonymity so beloved within Blockchain, and inside track and control where their digital currency goes. Nonetheless, their first issue has been fixed, so what is their problem now?

Supposably carbon emissions and energy consumption in the country are rising, due to cryptocurrency, not the masses staying at home. Regardless of if their reasoning and intent are pure, we know carbon emission due to cryptocurrency is a very real and impending issue. This theory has been confirmed by Tesla's Elon Musk halting bitcoin payments until the carbon emission issue is resolved, rightfully so as the guy selling low carbon emission electric cars. 

What is next for Chinese miners?

Bitcoin mining is one of the most lucrative major industries in the world, yet many people don't know that Bitcoin mining generates just as much revenue as gold and silver extraction. The old Gold Rush might be waning, but Bitcoin miners are reaping the rewards of a new gold rush. The current generation shows entrepreneurial spirit unlike many before it, especially as the online era continues to expand.

They see the market and trend associated with cryptocurrency and are ensuring they are involved in as many ways as possible. From trading on an exchange, accepting bitcoin for services, or using their computer to mine crypto. Blockchain technology is proving to be a leader in so many industries, even emission avoidance, so no issue should or will stop people from accepting and collecting it. 

Renewable energy countries 

The solution to China's electricity and energy consumption issues is not to stop cryptocurrency mining altogether, but rather for miners to move to more power conscious countries. This may not be so appealing for China itself, but it is proving to be the best option for miners. Miners may take a lot of energy and computer processing, but they also run very hot.

So miners are looking for a country with a cheaper electricity cost to move to, with the added benefit of them being cold for an additional cooling process. Most countries that use renewable energy find their costs a lot lower than those that do not, this was even seen in China. Miners would run to the mountains of Sichuan, where abundant hydroelectric power made electricity services costs exceptionally cheaper per unit. 

Colder climates like Germany, Sweden, and Scotland are becoming increasingly more desirable countries of residency for crypto miners. Sweden is planning to be the world's first fossil fuel free country by the year 2040. Denmark has broken a wind power record, showing 43% of its electricity consumption being covered by wind; they also plan to be fossil fuel free by 2050.

Germany is a leader in renewable energy, and in the first half of 2018 they proved that, by producing enough renewable electricity to power every household in the country for a year. Scotland is also joining the ranks of the greatest renewable energy countries. Scotland plans to build the worlds’ largest floating wind turbine farm, as wind power can generate 98% of Scotland’s electricity needs.

These are all brilliant, and cold countries can easily fit the needs of any cryptocurrency miner, with cheaper watts and a cooler climate to cut down even more on watts. 

Risk of regulations

While the above-mentioned countries are great candidates for cryptocurrency and bitcoin mining, there are other problems to be wary of. Crypto regulations are just an issue among crypto miners, but also for exchange services. Each country has taken its own approach to enforcing cryptocurrency into its economy, but some may be trickier than others. VISAs are also another thing to take into consideration. Holiday VISAs are easily acquired, but moving your entire mining farm across borders may not be as easy.

Would you need a work VISA? A residency VISA? That is up to each miner to find out. Germany has shown positive sentiment to cryptocurrency, considering it as legal tender, and allowing institutional funds to hold up to 20% in cryptocurrency. Denmark and Scotland have also shown interest in cryptocurrencies, considering tax policies to help their native traders and the economy. Miners may be susceptible to taxation, and VISA regulations, but they do not have to worry about being in a country that wants to get rid of cryptocurrency. This alone, in addition to renewable energy, are benefits to any crypto enthusiast. 

Bettering the blockchain process

Not only does renewable energy mining save the world and miners money, but it also advances blockchain in general. Projects and people are more likely to accept cryptocurrency and Blockchain when it doesn’t have such a high economic and environmental burden. Using a terawatt of renewable energy is far more efficient and cost-effective than using electricity powered by fossil fuels and coal. With the bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining rush continuing to rally up troops, we in the community need to make conscious decisions for both cryptocurrency and our planet.

The process of excelling bitcoin and bitcoin mining starts at finding a computing process that consumes less energy. Whether the miners in China, or around the world, have this intent is not the issue, as long as the rest of the planet pushes them towards more eco-friendly options. It doesn’t start with the miners, they are simply the suppliers, its starts with what we demand, as seen by Mr. Musk. Let us make better choices for Blockchain, earth, and our national economies. 

With over 425 million cryptocurrency users worldwide, growing 8,000% since just 5 million users in 2016, cryptocurrencies are transforming how businesses operate in today's digital world. This article explores the numerous benefits crypto accounts provide companies, regardless of their size or industry. 

From reducing costs through lower fees to enabling smooth cross-border payments, they open up new opportunities. Below we also examine the potential of smart contracts and blockchain technology to streamline processes, heighten security, and minimise fraud risks. Let’s explore how embracing crypto can propel your business to the forefront of technological innovation.

Why businesses are using crypto accounts

Although investment opportunities and value growth associated with cryptocurrencies have garnered substantial media attention, far less coverage has been dedicated to the benefits that cryptocurrencies offer businesses. This aspect of cryptocurrencies is perhaps poised to be the most dynamic and exciting area for development and growth moving forward.

Below we explore the numerous advantages that crypto can offer businesses, more so through dedicated crypto accounts. These accounts minimise overhead costs by offering lower transaction fees compared to traditional methods. They also facilitate easy access to high-yield investment assets, enabling portfolio diversification and potential substantial returns. Another advantage of crypto business accounts is that they can streamline cross-border payments by eliminating intermediaries, benefiting companies operating globally.

The decentralised nature of cryptocurrencies also enhances security and transparency through blockchain's immutable ledger, mitigating fraud risks. As adoption continues growing, having a crypto business account allows companies to capitalise on these benefits. It gives them a competitive edge, unlocks growth opportunities, and positions them at the forefront of this technological revolution while maximising profits.

• 46% of merchants in a recent survey say that they have integrated cryptocurrency payments into their accepted payment methods.
• The primary reason cited by 82% of surveyed merchants for accepting crypto as a payment method is its elimination of middlemen.
• B2B cross-border crypto payments are expected to reach $56 trillion by 2030, fueled by growth in big companies and small businesses alike, along with the rise in digitization.

As ownership increases, more businesses are accepting crypto payments than ever before

• The countries leading in crypto ownership are India, China, and the United States, ranking as the top three, while countries experiencing significant inflation or financial turmoil, like Turkey and Argentina, exhibit higher rates of crypto ownership compared to other countries of similar economies. 
• According to data from TripleA, 7.23% of the population in India, 4.08% in China, 13.22% in the U.S., 20% in Vietnam and 6.40% of the population in Pakistan own cryptocurrency, with just the top 5 countries counting for 242,166,772 crypto holders. 
• As of September 2023, 15,174 businesses worldwide accept Bitcoin, with around 2,300 of those businesses operating in the US.
• The leading sectors embracing Bitcoin include Gambling, Tourism, Banking, Food, and Retail industries.
• According to a recent Juniper Research report, the adoption of blockchain for cross-border settlement is projected to generate substantial cost reductions for banks, soaring from $301 million in 2021 to $10 billion by 2030.
• There are over 37,000 crypto ATMs worldwide, making it easier to use crypto payments for everyday purchases.

The future of crypto salaries

As crypto payments become more commonplace, both employees and employers are recognizing the benefits of being paid and paying in cryptocurrencies. 

For employees, receiving salaries in crypto provides an opportunity to diversify their investment portfolio and potentially earn higher returns. It also facilitates seamless cross-border transactions, which is particularly advantageous for remote workers. 

On the other hand, employers can reduce administrative costs associated with traditional payroll systems and currency conversions by paying in crypto. Moreover, crypto payments ensure transparency and security through blockchain technology, mitigating the risk of fraud or disputes. With the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, crypto-based salaries are emerging as an attractive option that offers advantages for businesses and their workforce alike.

• A recent survey found that over 40% of employees would consider having part or all of their salary paid in crypto.
• Stablecoins ensure the stability of wages paid in crypto, making it far more accessible and popular than ever before.
• The stablecoin market has a market cap of $148.7 billion at the time of writing. 
  

Businesses and smart contracts

Smart contracts are digital contracts built using blockchain technology that automatically execute when the predetermined criteria have been met. With the instantaneous and low-cost nature of crypto transactions, along with the potential for highly secure 'smart contracts', blockchain technology can be used to minimise fraud and legal disputes arising from business contracts. 

Below we look at several examples of how large corporations are implementing blockchain technology and smart contracts:

Walmart employs blockchain technology and smart contracts to develop an advanced platform for tracing the supply chain of food products. Their goal is to reduce waste and enhance food safety standards.

JPMorgan Chase pioneers the Quorum platform, revolutionising the blockchain industry by enabling companies to create and implement smart contracts for various purposes, including supply chain management and financial transactions.

Maersk, a global shipping giant, introduces TradeLens, a blockchain platform aimed at transforming their supply chain processes. Through smart contracts and automation, they enhance efficiency and optimise costs throughout the entire process.

Microsoft introduces the Azure Blockchain Workbench, empowering companies to develop and deploy smart contracts across diverse blockchain technologies.

IBM has launched IBM Blockchain, a groundbreaking platform enabling companies to create and execute intelligent agreements for applications like inventory management and digital identity verification.

• The smart contracts market size is expected to increase from $2.2 billion in 2023 to $8.79 billion in 2030, largely fueled by the growth of dapps (decentralised applications).
  

Crypto payments are the future for businesses

As crypto payments become more widely accepted and useful on a day-to-day basis for ordinary consumers, more and more employees are interested in being paid in crypto, which can have significant advantages for both them and their employers.

Similarly, for businesses involved in hiring remote workers in other countries, using crypto payments can reduce the tax and administrative burden of paying their wages while also ensuring more of their pay ends up in their pockets rather than in a bank’s annual profit statement. 

Finally, the potential for smart contracts to revolutionise cross-border trade is only now beginning to be realised, meaning there truly has never been a better time for businesses of all sizes to explore how cryptocurrencies can help fuel their growth in 2024 and beyond.

It was only a matter of time before the crypto craze took over our lives. Some people use it in business transactions, while others are content with investing for long term growth

Crypto technologies are here to stay. The era where crypto was only for a specific circle of people is over and more companies are taking advantage of this steadily growing market.  More large corporations than ever before are willing to develop and invest in the advantageous market of cryptocurrencies.

The crypto-world is blooming with new developments, and it seems that developers in this field can't stop pumping out innovative updates. Skilled developers and talented specialists in this field are making exchanges more accessible with their innovative work, by turning simple tasks into ease of access for users around the globe.

Crypto banking has been the go-to for many people in need of an alternative to conventional banking. With its lack of certain features, it still provides all that is needed with crypto limitations taken care of and more!  Here's a look at some advantages of using this service over fiat currency.

The first thing you'll notice when comparing bank services side by side is how similar they can be despite being different types altogether; one might not work without another if both suit your needs well enough

Crypto banking is a revolutionary new way of doing banking. It has many advantages and disadvantages when compared with regular fiat banking. Let’s explore in more detail and analyse what are the advantage and disadvantages of crypto- banking.

The advantages:

Independent system   

Cryptocurrency, as a whole, is set to be free of reliance on outdated and archaic centralized economies allowing users to manage every aspect of it while giving them full control over its finance. There are no strings attached to trap you into a quagmire of peculiar circumstances.

Low withdrawal fees

Banks are generally charging a fee whenever you withdraw cash from an ATM or the terminal, while crypto banking enables you to withdraw cash for free up to a certain amount.

Withdrawal fees with crypto banking are one of the best features and a major step towards the future, they charge users as low as 0.01% for their transactions no matter how big the amount you try to withdraw is compared to conventional banks.

Openness

Crypto banking platforms have created opportunities for people who were previously shut out of traditional financial services. If you've credit score is low, it'll be hard to find a loan that's affordable and most banks don't offer good interest rates on their saving accounts either.

Higher returns rate

Crypto platforms offer high-yield savings accounts with rates that far exceed traditional ones, enabling their users to beat the inflationary effects. They also provide secured loans without a credit check and other financial services for people in need who are not considered eligible elsewhere.

Currency exchange

So, you’re exchanging your currency for another one? Well, that could cost as much as 4% - applied to a large amount that could be as high as 40£ for every 1000£ that you are converting! Crypto banking, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for you to exchange between various cryptos with a commission as low as 0.1% and conduct rapid peer-to-peer transfers that can be, depending on your plan, free of charge.

The cons

Online-based   

Crypto banking is based and operated online. It’s all about convenience with a quick and easy app for your smart device to control any of your operations in real-time. However, they might not be the best option for seniors or customers who are challenged with using these online services as they often need more personal attention than what this system offers them.   

Assets volatility

While cryptocurrencies have gained in popularity over the years, they remain volatile assets. Thankfully you can now use fiat currencies and stable coins with many crypto banking providers in order to eliminate this risk.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, crypto banking became an essential part of the global financial transformation happening worldwide. In view of the advancement pace it evolved at, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it prosper in the coming years, and infiltrate every aspect of our everyday life.  

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are all about decentralised, worldwide, financial independence and liberty. Cryptocurrencies are borderless, censorship-resistant digital currencies that can be used by anybody with internet access. 

As a result, crypto, at least in principle, appears to be the perfect solution for international travellers or "digital nomads." With the added advantage of having the Tap app, users can instantly and seamlessly use their cryptocurrencies as they would regular fiat currencies when travelling around.
