NOWPayments and Staynex launch co-branded TOKEN2049 booking site

NOWPayments and Staynex have launched a co-branded travel portal for TOKEN2049 Singapore, letting NOWPayments’ partners and community book stays and experiences with crypto. The partnership builds on NOWPayments’ own use of Staynex for team travel and opens the service to 20,000+ partners ahead of the Oct. 7-8 event in Singapore.

Why it matters: - NOWPayments is turning an internal travel arrangement into a customer-facing product for its partner network. - The launch ties crypto payments to conference travel at TOKEN2049 Singapore, one of the industry’s biggest events. - The co-branded site is being opened to more than 20,000 NOWPayments partners, giving the companies a shared use case beyond a simple integration. - The announcement comes about 30 days before an estimated 25,000 attendees are expected at Marina Bay Sands.

What happened: - NOWPayments and Staynex announced a strategic partnership around TOKEN2049 Singapore on Sept. 7, 2026. - NOWPayments used Staynex to book accommodation for its own team traveling to TOKEN2049 Singapore on Oct. 7-8 at Marina Bay Sands. - The companies launched a co-branded booking site where TOKEN2049 travelers can book through Staynex and pay in crypto via NOWPayments. - The site is live from Sept. 7, 2026, at 09:00 SGT.

The details: - The internal travel program produced 21 completed bookings and 151 room nights. - Crypto checkout completed with a 100% payment completion rate and zero failed transactions. - All bookings were at four- and five-star properties. - The company estimated savings of about 10% versus equivalent mainstream OTA pricing. - The partnership gives NOWPayments staff, ecosystem partners and community members access to the same booking stack. - The booking portal includes travel, accommodation and related experiences around the conference. - NOWPayments merchants can accept 350+ cryptocurrencies and 40+ fiat options, including 30+ stablecoins, through invoices, payment links, subscriptions, API integrations and automated mass payouts. - NOWPayments serves 20,000+ partners worldwide. - Staynex reaches 2.65 million+ hotels and 700+ airlines and supports conversational AI, human concierge service and hybrid fiat/crypto checkout. - The co-branded booking site is here. - A B2B case study on the TOKEN2049 program will be issued after the announcement.

Between the lines: - The partnership is positioned as proof of product use, not a marketing-only alliance. - NOWPayments is using Staynex for its own corporate travel while also directing partners to the same platform, which gives the collaboration practical credibility. - Staynex gains a visible crypto payments use case during a high-profile industry week. - NOWPayments gains a travel product it can point its community toward as conference planning ramps up.

What's next: - NOWPayments will promote the booking opportunity through its broader communications. - The companies will release a detailed B2B case study for media, desks and partners after this announcement. - Qualifying crypto bookings made from Sept. 7 to Oct. 10, 2026, enter a prize pool tied to the launch campaign. - Prize draws are set for Oct. 2, 2026, for GP tickets and DragonPass passes, and Oct. 10, 2026, for RCI stays.

The bottom line: - NOWPayments and Staynex are using TOKEN2049 Singapore to test a repeatable model: crypto payments, curated travel and partner distribution in one booking flow.
