Why Self-Custody Merchant Accounts Will Change the Way You Accept Payments Forever

Traditional payment processors have had their hands in your pockets for decades.

Every swipe. Every tap. Every checkout.

Fees eating into your margins. Funds held hostage for days. Account freezes with zero warning.

That era is ending. Self-custody merchant accounts are here. And once you understand what they offer, there's no going back.

The Problem With Traditional Payment Processing

Credit card processors charge between 1.5% and 3% per transaction. Add international fees? That's another 3% on top. For businesses moving serious volume, those percentages translate to thousands, sometimes millions, in lost revenue annually.

But fees aren't even the worst part.

Your money sits in limbo. Settlement takes days. Sometimes longer. And at any moment, processors can freeze your funds. Flag your account as "suspicious." Shut you down without explanation.

You built your business. They control your cash flow.

That's not sovereignty. That's dependency.

What Self-Custody Actually Means

Self-custody is simple: you hold your own keys.

No intermediary holds your funds. No third party approves your withdrawals. Payments flow directly from customer to your wallet. Real-time. On-chain. Immutable.

The self-custodial wallet market is projected to hit $3.5 billion by 2031. Growing 8% annually. Merchants and consumers alike are waking up to one truth, control matters.

With self-custody merchant accounts, you:

• Receive payments instantly

• Access funds immediately

• Eliminate clearing periods

• Remove third-party risk entirely

This isn't theoretical. It's operational. And Larecoin is leading the charge.

Slash Interchange Fees by 50%+

Here's where it gets real.

Traditional interchange fees drain your revenue on every single transaction. Larecoin's self-custody infrastructure eliminates the bloated intermediary stack. No processors maintaining ledgers. No custodial compliance overhead passed to you.

The result? Transaction costs cut by 50% or more.

For high-volume merchants, that's a game-changer. For businesses doing cross-border transactions, it's revolutionary. Those extra percentage points compound fast.

Consider this: a merchant processing $500,000 monthly at 2.5% fees loses $12,500 every month. That's $150,000 annually. Switch to Larecoin's self-custody model? Keep most of that in your pocket.

The math doesn't lie.

NFT Receipts: More Than a Gimmick

NFT receipts sound flashy. But they're actually practical.

Every transaction on Larecoin generates an NFT receipt, a permanent, verifiable record on the blockchain. This isn't just novelty. It's utility.

Tax Documentation Immutable records simplify accounting. Every transaction timestamped. Every amount verified. No more reconciling spreadsheets with processor statements.

Warranty Tracking Attach product warranties directly to NFT receipts. Customers hold proof of purchase in their wallet. No lost emails. No digging through inboxes.

Customer Engagement NFT receipts become loyalty touchpoints. Offer exclusive discounts to customers holding receipts from previous purchases. Build relationships. Drive retention.

Competitors like NOWPayments and CoinPayments? They process transactions. That's it. No NFT receipts. No on-chain transparency. No customer engagement tools built into the transaction itself.

Larecoin delivers receipts that work harder than paper ever could.

The LUSD Stablecoin Advantage

Volatility kills merchant adoption. That's the oldest objection in the crypto payments book.

LUSD solves it.

Larecoin's stablecoin maintains price stability, so merchants accepting crypto don't watch their revenue fluctuate wildly hour-to-hour. You quote a price. You receive that value. Simple.

Why LUSD beats competitors:

• Instant settlement in stable value

• No conversion delays

• Seamless integration with Larecoin's merchant infrastructure

• Gas-optimized transfers

CoinPayments forces merchants into volatile assets or charges premiums for stablecoin conversions. NOWPayments adds friction with multiple conversion steps.

Larecoin? Native LUSD support. Clean. Efficient. Built for merchants who need predictability.

Why Self-Custody is Non-Negotiable in Web3

Here's the uncomfortable truth about custodial crypto payment solutions.

They recreate the exact problems Web3 was designed to eliminate.

When NOWPayments or CoinPayments holds your funds: even temporarily: you've introduced counterparty risk. You're trusting their security. Their compliance. Their solvency.

We've seen what happens when centralized custodians fail. Funds vanish. Access disappears. Merchants get left holding nothing.

Self-custody removes that entire risk category.

With Larecoin's self-custody merchant accounts:

• No fund freezes. Your wallet. Your rules.

• No account closures. No processor deciding your business is "risky."

• No custody risk. Funds never sit with a third party.

Financial sovereignty isn't a philosophy. It's operational security.

Larecoin vs. The Competition

Let's be direct.

Feature	Larecoin	NOWPayments	CoinPayments
Self-Custody	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No
NFT Receipts	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No
Native Stablecoin	✅ LUSD	❌ Third-party	❌ Third-party
Fee Reduction	50%+ savings	Standard fees	Standard fees

NOWPayments and CoinPayments are Web2 solutions wearing Web3 clothing. They process crypto. They don't embrace decentralization.

Larecoin is infrastructure for the future. Self-custody at the core. Transparency by default. Merchant growth by design.

Reduced Liability. Reduced Compliance Burden.

When you don't hold customer funds, you don't carry custodial liability.

That means:

• Lower exposure to fraud claims

• Reduced data breach risk

• Simplified compliance requirements

• Lower insurance costs

For merchants in regulated industries, this matters enormously. Compliance overhead drives operational costs through the roof. Self-custody shifts asset management responsibility: and the associated regulatory burden: away from your business.

Less liability. More focus on growth.
