Elrond Foundation takes over Utrust, a crypto payments firm
Elrond Foundation, the firm responsible for developing the Elrond Ecosystem (EGLD), has acquired a significant crypto payments firm, Utrust. The acquisition aims to further the interests of the Foundation in Web 3.0 development "by bringing powerful DeFi mechanics into play."
Elrond Foundation stepping to Web 3.0
Elrond Foundation believes in the era of Web 3.0, where the payments will be fast, efficient, coupled with low-transaction fees. The acquisition of Utrust will serve the firm in two ways:- Make payments faster, cheaper, and more secure by using internet-scale blockchain technology
- Transform payment processing services from a cost for merchants into an income stream
As per the blog, the goal of this new decision from the Elrond Foundation is to make the payments "fully natively digital by using blockchain to offer near-instant and secure global settlements at a trivial cost, accessible to merchants worldwide."
The collaboration also aims "to bring powerful DeFi mechanics into play to create a paradigm shift via Merchant Yield products."
Merchant Yield
Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond Foundation, said that apart from payments, the entity is also working on something called the Merchant Yield. As per Mincu, the Merchant Yield is "a Web3 payment processing solution that will provide yield for merchants, instead of requiring them to pay a percentage of the transacted value."As per the announcement from Elrond Foundation, with Merchant Yield, merchants will be able to integrate the multi-trillion-dollar crypto technology into their payments system. Through this payment system, they can receive money fast, and instead of paying for every transaction, they will be earning from them.
Utrust CEO Sanja Kon described that the two firms are collaborating to turn payments into a revenue stream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
