BLAQclouds, Inc. (the “Company”), a global financial technology and blockchain infrastructure provider, announced the successful automation of multiple global payment platforms within its ApolloCASH cross-platform remittance and settlement ecosystem following several months of development, testing, and infrastructure refinement.
ApolloCASH has reached a significant operational milestone by automating settlement workflows across major global payment networks, including PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Wise, Revolut, Chime, Telegram, and UPI, utilizing the Company’s proprietary Single Use Liquidity Pool (SULP) architecture. Transactions are settled through the Apollo Chain and Binance Smart Chain, leveraging APUSD and USDT stablecoins to enable seamless cross-platform value transfer and programmable settlement execution. Reflecting growing user adoption and platform awareness, the Company also reported a 480% increase in referral link activity over the previous 30-day period, indicating expanding engagement within the ApolloCASH ecosystem.
In parallel with these developments, BLAQclouds is in the final stages of completing Know Your Business (KYB) onboarding with Spritz Finance and is concluding Sandbox testing of Spritz’s digital asset on-ramp, off-ramp, and global bill payment infrastructure. Subject to the successful completion of regulatory, operational, and technical readiness milestones, the Company expects these capabilities to be integrated into the ApolloCASH platform during the first week of April 2026. This planned integration is intended to broaden real-world payment functionality by enabling streamlined conversion between digital assets and fiat obligations such as utility payments, subscriptions, and other recurring financial commitments
The Company has also introduced a Real-Time Chat feature within the ApolloCASH user address book, designed to enhance transaction transparency and improve coordination between users during payment workflows. Through Real-Time Chat, senders and recipients can communicate directly within the platform when a Send or Redeem transaction is initiated, allowing both parties to confirm payment status, timing expectations, and settlement preferences. The Company believes that embedding communication capabilities into financial transaction flows can meaningfully enhance user experience and increase transaction completion rates.
Industry research supports the impact of integrated communication features within financial and commerce applications. Studies across fintech platforms suggest that real-time messaging and conversational transaction interfaces can improve transaction completion rates by approximately 20% to 40%, while also reducing payment abandonment and strengthening user trust. Additionally, engagement data from digital payment providers indicates that platforms offering embedded communication tools may experience higher repeat transaction frequency and increased average transaction value, as users gain greater confidence in payment coordination and settlement visibility. BLAQclouds views Real-Time Chat as an important step toward delivering a more interactive and user-centric global remittance experience.
The Company is also actively testing integrations with additional global payment networks and financial service providers, including X-Money, Touch ’n Go, GrabPay, Remitly, Airwallex, OFX, Sendwave, Paysend, SOKIN, Ria Money Transfer, WorldRemit, OA Pay, Instarem, and Intermex. These integrations are expected to expand the Company’s addressable market and enhance access to key international payment corridors.
As part of its structured rollout strategy, BLAQclouds has successfully onboarded approximately 1.5 million international banking customers onto its BLAQ Private Chain infrastructure. The Company has initiated the migration of test accounts in controlled blocks of approximately 1,000 users per cycle to ensure quality control, system stability, and regulatory compliance throughout the initial deployment phase.
At the same time, targeted onboarding initiatives are in progress for approximately 1.4 million active PayPal users and 1.1 million Cash App account holders, supporting the Company’s broader expansion across global payment networks.
