Key features include instant settlement, automated conversion between fiat and crypto, and extensive API integrations.

Why Businesses Need Crypto Payment Infrastructure
The growth of Web3 has created unique challenges for businesses operating at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto. While blockchain technology offers significant advantages in terms of settlement speed and programmability, integrating these benefits into existing payment flows remains complex.

Coinflow addresses these challenges by providing a comprehensive payment stack that bridges traditional finance and crypto. Their infrastructure enables businesses to accept credit card payments that settle instantly in crypto, process payouts globally, and manage their treasury operations - all through a single integration.
