Ari10 started 2025 with significant developments, including the launch of its new crypto payment gateway for e-commerce at eTrade Show & Franchise Expo, adaptation to Travel Rule and DORA regulations, and an airdrop of KOL tokens. These initiatives have strengthened the company’s position in the fintech and crypto sectors.
Ari10 continues to innovate by integrating cutting-edge technologies and aligning with global regulatory standards.
Ari10 at eTrade Show & Franczyza Expo 2025
Ari10 participated in the eTrade Show at the Ptak Warsaw Expo convention center, showcasing its latest e-commerce solutions, particularly the crypto payment gateway. This tool enables online stores to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and other cryptocurrencies, making transactions seamless. The PrestaShop and Shopify integration ensures a fast and intuitive setup for merchants.
One of the key advantages of Ari10’s e-commerce payment gateway is real-time exchange rate calculations, allowing customers to view the current product price in cryptocurrency. Merchants can instantly convert received payments into local fiat currency (PLN), eliminating exchange rate risks. This feature enhances the appeal of crypto payments for online stores. Businesses interested in integrating this solution can schedule a consultation today.
Ari10’s presence at eTrade Show & Franczyza (franchise) Expo highlighted the growing demand for crypto payments among business owners. The introduction of this gateway marks a step toward mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies in digital commerce.
Compliance with Travel Rule and DORA Regulations
January was a critical period for Ari10 as it prepared for compliance with Travel Rule and DORA regulations. The Travel Rule, introduced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), mandates the transfer of sender and recipient information for crypto transactions exceeding a specified threshold.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is a European Union regulation focused on enhancing the operational resilience of financial institutions. It requires companies to establish robust ICT risk management frameworks, incident reporting mechanisms, and system testing protocols. The regulation took effect on January 17, 2025, reinforcing cybersecurity across the financial sector.
By ensuring full compliance with these regulations, Ari10 not only meets legal requirements but also builds trust with customers and business partners. The company has also taken significant steps towards obtaining a MiCA license.
Ari10 as a Gold Sponsor of NBX Conference
For the second consecutive year, Ari10 is a Gold Sponsor of the Next Block Expo (NBX), one of the most prominent blockchain events in Warsaw. The event, scheduled for March 19-20, will feature Ari10’s booth at Złote Tarasy, where visitors can engage with the team, attend presentations, and participate in industry debates.
Additionally, Ari10 invites conference attendees to an exclusive afterparty at Dekada, organized in collaboration with NBX. The afterparty will provide a great opportunity for networking and industry discussions in a relaxed setting.
Last year, Ari10 was honored with the Fintech of the Year award at the event, a recognition of its significant contributions to the sector.
Interested attendees can register for the afterparty on lu.ma today.
KOL Token Airdrop for ARI Stakers
In January, Ari10 conducted a KOL token airdrop for users who had staked more than 100,000 ARI tokens. A total of 8,522 KOL tokens were distributed across 66 addresses.
KOL is the native token of the Protokols platform, which offers AI-powered tools for performance analytics and data insights. The token provides access to KOL-Gate functionalities, enabling real-time tracking of key opinion leaders (KOLs). This feature allows investors to monitor market leaders and make informed decisions.
The airdrop was exclusive to 4-year ARI stakers with a minimum balance of 100,000 ARI. High Ethereum gas fees limited the number of beneficiaries, reinforcing the value of long-term staking within the Ari10 ecosystem.
January 2025 Recap
January 2025 marked another month of rapid growth for Ari10. The company expanded its e-commerce offerings, ensured compliance with key financial regulations, and strengthened its team. Moreover, the KOL token airdrop rewarded loyal users, reinforcing engagement within the ecosystem.
These initiatives solidify Ari10’s leadership in fintech and crypto markets. With exciting developments ahead, the company remains committed to delivering innovative solutions for crypto users. Stay updated by following Ari10 on social media.
