- The company adopted a multibrand corporate structure to separate its consumer products from infrastructure operations.
- Payward ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets and $2 trillion in total transaction volume, while customer accounts grew by 50% to 5.7 million, driven in part by acquisitions.

Trading-based revenue accounted for 47% of the $2.2 billion total, the company said in a blog post, with rest coming from non-trading sources such as custody, payments and financing. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) rose to 26% to $531 million.

The 15-year-old company, which lodged a confidential draft U.S. IPO filing in November, said its corporate structure separates consumer products from infrastructure operations, likening the strategy to those of tech giants Alphabet (GOOG), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN).
“By separating infrastructure from product expression, Payward ensures that innovation does not come at the expense of control, risk discipline, or regulatory integrity,” the firm wrote.
The corporate structure marks a formal move for the company to encompass the multiple platforms Kraken, now the sixth-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has acquired over the years. These include NinjaTrader, Breakout and Backed Finance.
These acquisitions contributed to a 119% increase in daily average revenue trades (DARTs) for futures products, the company said.
Payward said it ended the year with $48.5 billion in assets on the platform, up 12%. The number of funded customer accounts rose 50% to 5.7 million.
The revenue figure is adjusted for trading costs and and gains or losses on trading activities, the company said.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token
The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
