Co-founder Lyzi
Nepting, one of the most advanced omnichannel payment platforms on the French market and a structural alternative to closed ecosystems on acquirer freedom, has integrated Lyzi natively across its infrastructure. The result: every merchant running on Nepting can now accept more than 300 cryptocurrencies across all terminal formats: POS, SoftPOS, self-ordering kiosks.
This is not a feature addition. It is the logical outcome of an open payment architecture that refuses forced verticalisation and that recognises crypto payment as a mainstream payment method that deserves proper distribution infrastructure.
Understanding the weight of this partnership requires understanding what Nepting has become over 20+ years. Where closed platforms impose their own hardware, their own acquirers and their own processors in a vertically integrated ecosystem, Nepting built the counter-model:
This open architecture is precisely what makes the Lyzi integration technically clean: Nepting didn't need to rebuild anything. Lyzi plugged in as a payment method like any other within the multi-solution ecosystem.
"Nepting positions itself as a major player in payment innovation. By integrating Lyzi, we give merchants the ability to accept crypto with simplicity and a high level of security on their payment terminals." (Jean-Paul Dalmas, CEO, Nepting)
The entire payment flow is processed by Lyzi as a payment agent registered with the ACPR (REGAFI n°749869). AML/KYC compliance is carried entirely by Lyzi: neither Nepting nor the merchant bears any crypto regulatory complexity.
11% of French people hold crypto assets (Adan / IPSOS 2026), skewing heavily toward 18–35 year olds and international profiles. Across Europe, nearly 10% of the population holds crypto assets. These people spend, travel and consume, but find almost no physical retail infrastructure capable of accepting their preferred payment method.
A merchant activating crypto in 2026 is not ahead of the curve. They are filling a genuine distribution gap.
Crypto holders are statistically over-represented among international travellers, premium buyers and technology early adopters. For merchants in the verticals where Nepting is deployed (mid-to-high-end retail, food service, hospitality, leisure), crypto acceptance is an immediate differentiator, especially in tourist-heavy locations.
Crypto acceptance is still a competitive advantage in 2026. Within 24 to 36 months, it will be a market standard, driven by institutional stablecoin adoption and MiCA roll-out across Europe. Merchants activating today build a first-mover advantage in brand perception and customer loyalty with this growing segment.
Nepting's platform being designed from the ground up as multi-payment-solution and multi-processor, the Lyzi integration requires no infrastructure rework:
"With Lyzi, we continue our mission: making cryptocurrency payments accessible to everyone, without friction. Through Nepting, we accelerate this adoption further by integrating our solution into an already well-established merchant network." (Damien Patureaux, CEO of Lyzi)
Lyzi is not a wallet or a consumer crypto app. It is a crypto and stablecoin payment infrastructure compatible with 1M+ payment terminals in France and Europe, operating as a payment agent registered with the ACPR (REGAFI n°749869).
Lyzi's merchant network, including Printemps, Porsche, Lamborghini, Fitness Park, Barrière Group, JOA Casinos, SBM Monaco, demonstrates the capacity to operate at scale across demanding multi-site retail verticals.
For PSPs and acquirers looking to deploy crypto payment across their merchant network without owning the regulatory or technical complexity, Lyzi's PSP and banking infrastructure is the direct path.
