As part of the collaboration, NOWPayments used Staynex to arrange accommodation for its team, while the two companies launched a co-branded booking site where TOKEN2049 travellers can book stays through Staynex and pay in crypto via NOWPayments. The proof is already live. NOWPayments has mandated Staynex for 100% of its internal team travel to TOKEN2049 Singapore (7–8 October, Marina Bay Sands). From today, that same stack is open to NOWPayments staff, ecosystem partners and community through a co-branded booking site. A detailed B2B case study on the TOKEN2049 programme will be issued to media and partners following this announcement.

A payments company that already moves digital value for thousands of merchants is using Staynex to support its own team travel while also giving its broader partner community the opportunity to access the platform and plan their travel for one of the industry’s biggest gatherings. The announcement lands 30 days before an estimated 25,000 attendees arrive at Marina Bay Sands for one of the industry’s largest gatherings. > “The best partnerships are the ones where both sides become real users of each other’s products. Staynex × Sleap uses NOWPayments for crypto payments, and we use their platform for our own corporate travel. That makes this much more than an integration - it’s a partnership built on real usage.” — [**Kate Lifshits**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-lifshits-0407/)**, CEO, NOWPayments** --- ## The Proof: TOKEN2049 Singapore Ahead of [**TOKEN2049 Singapore**](https://www.token2049.com/singapore), NOWPayments used Staynex to arrange accommodation for its team: AI curation, human concierge and crypto checkout on NOWPayments rails. The programme closed with 21 completed bookings and 151 room nights, 100% payment completion and zero failed crypto checkouts, all at four- and fivestar properties, with estimated savings of roughly 10% versus equivalent mainstream OTA pricing. A full B2B case study, covering the operating model, traveller and payment flow, will follow this release for desks, partners and ecosystem GTM teams. > “This partnership is the proof that a payments ecosystem will trust Staynex with its own people, on the industry’s most visible week, and then extend that opportunity to its community of 20,000+ partners. That is a partnership built around real utility, not a logo swap.” — [**Yuen Wong**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuen-wong-labs/)**, Group CEO, Staynex** [![NOWPayments Runs Its Own TOKEN2049 Travel on Staynex](https://storage.ghost.io/c/73/6a/736af0e4-2274-4543-a329-2952b2b52abc/content/images/2026/09/image-6.png)](https://www.staynex.ai/) ## The Product: A Co-Branded Booker, And A Repeatable Partner Template From embargo lift, NOWPayments teams and ecosystem partners will have access to a dedicated Staynex-powered portal, providing a convenient way to plan and book travel, accommodation and related experiences around the conference. NOWPayments is making this opportunity available to its broader community of 20,000+ partners, introducing them to Staynex’s curated travel experience ahead of one of the industry’s largest gatherings.
