Convert Bitcoin to Euros: How It Works with Lyzi ?

Bitcoin to Fiat Conversion: Why It's Still a Barrier for Businesses

Accepting Bitcoin or crypto payments is accessible today. Converting those funds into euros automatically, instantly, and in full regulatory compliance is a different challenge entirely.

Most businesses looking to accept crypto payments hit the same wall: managing the conversion. Volatile exchange rates, settlement delays, exchange platform interfaces, latent capital gains tax implications — every step creates operational friction that slows adoption.

That's exactly the problem Lyzi's crypto payment infrastructure is built to solve.

How Lyzi Handles Bitcoin-to-Euro Conversion

Lyzi is not an exchange. It is an ACPR-licensed crypto payment infrastructure (Payment Agent, REGAFI n°26900) and registered EU VASP, designed so the merchant never has to touch the blockchain.

In practice, the conversion flow works as follows:

• The customer pays in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or EU-regulated stablecoin (EURC, USDC, EURCV, EURE)
• Lyzi processes the transaction in real time through its payment infrastructure
• The merchant receives settlement in euros — automatic FIAT reversion
• Bank reconciliation is generated automatically on the back-office side

No manual steps, no exchange account to manage, no uncontrolled FX exposure.

FIAT or Stablecoin Settlement: The Merchant Decides

One of the key differentiators of the Lyzi crypto payment solution is settlement flexibility. Merchants are not forced to convert everything into euros.

Two modes are available:

• FIAT reversion: crypto proceeds are converted and paid out in euros. Preferred by retail chains, franchises, and hotel groups.
• Stablecoin reversion: funds are held in EURC, USDC, or EURCV. Adopted by businesses seeking crypto exposure without volatility risk.

Retailers like Printemps, Fitness Park, Groupe Barrière, and SBM Monaco use Lyzi's FIAT reversion for their crypto payments at physical POS.

Converting Bitcoin to Fiat: The Mistakes to Avoid

Most businesses that self-manage Bitcoin-to-euro conversion encounter three recurring problems:

• Wrong-time FX exposure: without real-time conversion, the amount received can differ significantly from the price displayed to the customer
• No audit trail: consumer exchanges don't produce reconciliation files compatible with standard accounting tools
• AML/KYC non-compliance: self-managed conversion outside a regulated framework creates growing compliance risk, especially under DAC8

Lyzi eliminates all three by design — operating as a regulated crypto payment provider, not an exchange tool.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stablecoins: Which Cryptos Can Be Converted via Lyzi

Lyzi supports 300+ cryptocurrencies, 500+ compatible wallets, across 10 blockchains. FIAT or stablecoin settlement is available for all supported assets.

Most used in payment contexts:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• EU-regulated stablecoins: EURC, USDC, EURCV, EURE

Compatibility with the market's leading terminals — Ingenico, Verifone, Nepting, Yavin, Landi, Sunmi, Famoco — means FIAT conversion can be deployed at physical POS without changing hardware.

Bitcoin-to-Euro Conversion and Compliance: The Lyzi Framework

Unlike conversion through an unregulated exchange, every transaction processed by Lyzi is:

• Subject to applicable AML/KYC obligations
• Traced and audited under the European PSAN/VASP regulatory framework
• Covered by the ACPR Payment Agent license (REGAFI n°26900) and EU VASP registration

For businesses that need to justify their flows to their accountant or bank, this is a non-negotiable requirement.
