NOWPayments vs CoinPayments vs Larecoin: Which Cuts Your Interchange Fees by 50%+ AND Gives You Full Custody in 2026?

Your payment processor is bleeding you dry.

0.5-1% per transaction. Withdrawal fees. Currency conversion charges. Network costs on top of everything else.

And they hold your crypto hostage.

That's the NOWPayments and CoinPayments reality in 2026. You're paying premium fees for someone else to control your money.

There's a better way.

The Custody Trap Nobody Talks About

NOWPayments holds your keys. CoinPayments holds your keys.

You're building a business on someone else's infrastructure. They control when you withdraw. They decide your limits. They own your financial freedom.

Custodial platforms made sense in 2018. Not anymore.

Self-custody isn't just a buzzword. It's the difference between owning your business and renting someone else's permission to operate.

The Real Cost of "Competitive" Rates

Let's run the numbers.

$500K annual processing volume:

• NOWPayments/CoinPayments: $2,500-$5,000 in platform fees

• Larecoin: Under $2,000 (just Solana network costs)

• Your savings: 50-60%

$1M annual processing:

• NOWPayments/CoinPayments: $5,000-$10,000

• Larecoin: Under $2,000

• Your savings: 67-83%

$5M annual processing:

• NOWPayments/CoinPayments: ~$25,000

• Larecoin: ~$5,000

• Your savings: 50-80%

That's not a rounding error. That's your marketing budget. Your next hire. Your runway extension.

Larecoin operates on zero platform fees. You pay Solana network costs only. Pennies per transaction.

No hidden charges. No surprise withdrawal fees. No currency conversion markups.

Why Larecoin Destroys Traditional Processors

Self-custody from day one. Your wallet. Your keys. Your control.

Connect your Solana wallet. Start accepting payments. Done.

No waiting for withdrawals. No approval processes. No "account under review" nightmares.

Sub-second settlement. Solana's blockchain finalizes transactions in milliseconds. NOWPayments takes 5 minutes. CoinPayments can take hours.

Speed means cash flow. Cash flow means growth.

NFT receipts for every transaction. This isn't a gimmick. It's programmable proof of payment.

Each transaction mints an NFT receipt on-chain. Immutable. Verifiable. Auditable.

Your accounting team will thank you. So will your auditors.

Tax compliance becomes automatic. Chargebacks become obsolete. Disputes get resolved with cryptographic proof.

LUSD: The Stablecoin Advantage

Larecoin isn't just about the $LARE token.

Meet LUSD. Larecoin's stablecoin designed for merchants who need price stability.

Accept payments in LUSD. No volatility. No conversion headaches. Just stable, predictable revenue.

Customers pay in crypto. You receive dollar-equivalent value. The best of both worlds.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments offer stablecoin options. But they're still charging you fees to access your own money.

LUSD on Larecoin? Self-custody. Zero platform fees. Instant settlement.

Compliance That Actually Matters

"But is it legal?"

Fair question. Sketchy crypto processors have burned merchants before.

Larecoin is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with FinCEN. We're pursuing state Money Transmitter Licenses (MTL) across the US.

This isn't just paperwork. It's commitment to operating within the regulatory framework.

You can't build a sustainable payment platform by dodging regulators. You build it by working with them.

NOWPayments operates from multiple jurisdictions. CoinPayments does the same. Nothing wrong with that approach.

But US merchants increasingly care about US compliance. Banks care. Investors care. Auditors definitely care.

Larecoin gives you peace of mind. We're building for the long game, not the quick exit.

The Speed Factor Nobody Mentions

Settlement speed impacts everything.

Your inventory turnover. Your cash conversion cycle. Your ability to reinvest in growth.

Larecoin on Solana: Sub-second finality NOWPayments: ~5 minutes CoinPayments: Minutes to hours

When you're doing hundreds of transactions daily, those minutes add up.

Faster settlement means faster access to capital. Faster decisions. Faster growth.

Real-World Scenario: The $2M Online Store

Picture a mid-sized e-commerce operation processing $2M annually in crypto payments.

With NOWPayments/CoinPayments:

• Platform fees: $10,000-$20,000 annually

• Custody risk: Someone else holds your funds

• Settlement: Wait times on withdrawals

• NFT receipts: Not available

• Control: Limited

With Larecoin:

• Platform fees: $0 (network costs only: ~$3,000)

• Custody: Full self-custody, instant access

• Settlement: Sub-second finality

• NFT receipts: Every transaction documented

• Control: Complete

Annual savings: $7,000-$17,000. Plus complete ownership of your financial infrastructure.

That's hiring a developer. Running a marketing campaign. Or just better margins.

Why This Matters in 2026

Crypto payments aren't experimental anymore.

They're infrastructure.

Choosing a processor in 2026 means choosing your competitive advantage. Or disadvantage.

The merchants winning today aren't just accepting crypto. They're leveraging Web3 infrastructure to reduce costs, increase speed, and maintain control.

NOWPayments and CoinPayments serve a purpose. They're easy onboards for merchants new to crypto.

But if you're serious about scaling? If you care about margins? If you value custody?

There's only one choice.

The Larecoin Difference

Zero platform fees. Just network costs.

Self-custody architecture. Your wallet, your control.

NFT receipts. Programmable proof for every transaction.

LUSD stablecoin. Price stability when you need it.

Sub-second settlement. Solana-speed access to funds.

US regulatory compliance. MSB registered, MTL strategy underway.

This isn't just a payment processor. It's financial sovereignty for your business.
