Tallinn, Estonia, September 21st, 2026, Chainwire

NOWPayments today published new empirical data analyzing six months of enterprise payout activity, offering a comparative performance benchmark across TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Bitcoin, and Ethereum to help businesses select optimal blockchain rails based on speed, transaction volume, and cost efficiency.

The dataset reveals distinct operational advantages depending on transfer priorities: Solana recorded the fastest average payout speed at 1 minute and 45 seconds while accounting for 3.08% of volume and 3.86% of transactions. TRON led in total monetary volume at 43.69%, and BNB Smart Chain handled the largest share of individual payout transactions at 48.23%.

High-Frequency Payouts Put BNB Smart Chain in the Lead

Together, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana accounted for 94.04% of payout volume and 77.84% of payout transactions during the period analyzed.

BNB Smart Chain accounted for 48.23% of transactions, compared with 15.73% for TRON. Its share of payout volume was lower at 21.75%.

The network handled far more individual transfers without carrying the largest share of value, a pattern consistent with higher-frequency, lower-value payouts in the NOWPayments dataset.

Higher-Value Payouts Put TRON in the Lead

TRON moved 43.69% of payout volume, more than twice BNB Smart Chain’s 21.75% share, despite accounting for a much smaller share of transactions.

Based on those shares, the average TRON payout was approximately 6.2 times larger than the average BNB Smart Chain payout during the period. The networks served different payout patterns: TRON carried more value, while BNB Smart Chain handled far more individual transfers.

Ethereum ranked third by volume at 18.84% and represented 7.42% of transactions. Bitcoin accounted for 6.68% of volume and 2.60% of transactions, while Solana represented 3.08% of volume and 3.86% of transactions.

The data suggests a practical framework for matching the network to the payout flow:

The data offers a starting point, not a universal network recommendation.

When Speed Matters, Solana Leads

Solana led on speed with an average payout time of 1:45. Bitcoin followed at 2:53, ahead of TRON at 3:08 and BNB Smart Chain at 3:13. Ethereum recorded the longest average at 5:56.

The gap between the fastest and slowest networks was 4 minutes and 11 seconds. Every network in the comparison still averaged less than six minutes, while TRON and BNB Smart Chain were separated by only five seconds.

The fastest network was not the most widely used. That points to a broader principle: crypto infrastructure should be evaluated across the full movement of funds, not by a single headline metric.

Kate Lifshits, Commercial Director at NOWPayments, applies the same data-first approach in Crypto That Works for Business, her Cryptopolitan series on the commercial impact of crypto payments. The first column, the 22% Sales Boost Hiding in Your Crypto Checkout, examined checkout performance; future editions will cover other points where payment infrastructure affects revenue, costs, and growth.

“The useful question is not which network tops a leaderboard. It is what a specific payout flow needs to optimize: value, frequency, speed, or cost,” said Kate Lifshits, Commercial Director at NOWPayments.

When Cost Matters, The Best Route May Not Be a Blockchain Network

When minimizing payout costs is the priority, comparing blockchain networks may be the wrong place to start.

NOWPayments allows businesses to send payouts to ChangeNOW Pro wallets with no network or service fees within the ecosystem. Creator Andy Tries Coding publicly tested the route and reported receiving a fee-free payout in under five seconds.

Recipients are identified by email and confirm the transfer before funds move, so businesses do not need to collect wallet addresses at the beginning of the payout process. An interactive guide walks through the process from payout creation to recipient access.

The takeaway is simple: define the payout flow first, then select the network or route. Value, frequency, speed, and cost will not point every business to the same answer.

NOWPayments is a crypto business ecosystem designed to help companies accept payments, automate mass payouts, manage stablecoin treasury, and scale global digital asset operations through a single infrastructure. The platform supports more than 350 cryptocurrencies, over 30 stablecoins, flexible settlement options, and enterprise-grade APIs.

Globally regulated multi-asset broker to host traders, introducing brokers and institutional partners at Booth 081, Dubai World Trade Centre, on 22–23 September 2026

DUBAI, UAE, September 21st, 2026— CentFX, a globally regulated multi-asset broker serving clients in more than 100 countries, will exhibit as a Diamond Sponsor at The Forex Expo Dubai 2026, held on 22 and 23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The company will host traders, introducing brokers and institutional partners at Booth 081 across both days of the exhibition, which runs from 10:00 to 18:00 daily.

The Forex Expo Dubai is among the largest annual gatherings of the online trading industry in the Middle East, bringing together brokers, liquidity and payment providers, trading technology firms and retail participants from across the region and international markets. Diamond ranks among the event’s senior sponsorship tiers.

CentFX has positioned its offering around order execution rather than promotional pricing. The company reports ECN account from 0.0 pips and average order execution of 0.04 seconds, delivered across a range exceeding 2,100 instruments spanning Forex, indices, commodities and other asset classes. Clients access the markets through the CentFX or MetaTrader 5 on desktop and mobile.

“Dubai is one of the few occasions in the calendar where a trader can put a broker’s claims directly to the test,” said CEO of CentFX. The value of an event like this is the direct conversation, and that is what we are set up for. Anyone who wants to see what our pricing and execution look like in a live session can watch it happen at the stand and speak to our team in the same conversation.”

Visitors to Booth 081 will be able to review live trading conditions, compare the company’s account types, complete account opening with assistance from staff, and meet the CentFX partnerships team to discuss introducing broker and affiliate arrangements across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.

The appearance follows CentFX’s participation at Money Expo India 2026 in Mumbai in August, where the company exhibited as a Titanium Sponsor and received recognition within the event’s awards programme.

Traders, introducing brokers, affiliates and industry professionals attending The Forex Expo Dubai 2026 are invited to visit CentFX at Booth 081 on 22 and 23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Further information is available at www.centfx.com.

Expanded clinical team supports faster access to gastrointestinal and liver care throughout Maryland

Silver Spring, Maryland, United States, 21st Sep 2026 – Gastro Center of Maryland (GCM), one of the region’s largest gastroenterology practices, has added several new physicians to its clinical team, continuing a period of steady growth that has expanded patient access across 11 Maryland locations.

The incoming providers join a team of more than 30 board-certified gastroenterologists, hepatologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered dietitians serving patients throughout Maryland and the greater DMV area. The additions strengthen coverage across the practice’s network of offices and on-site endoscopy centers.

The expansion comes as demand for gastrointestinal care continues to rise. GCM has focused on shortening the time between referral and treatment, offering next-day appointments for urgent GI concerns at many of its locations, subject to provider, location and insurance availability. For patients who would otherwise face weeks of waiting, that difference can mean earlier diagnosis and faster relief.

Patients across GCM’s network have access to a full spectrum of digestive and liver care, including colonoscopy and colon cancer screening, treatment for acid reflux and GERD, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis management, IBS and SIBO care, and hepatology services such as non-invasive liver elastography. The practice operates AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery centers with on-site endoscopy in Annapolis, Columbia, Timonium, Olney, Riverdale and Rockville, and provides in-house pathology, infusion therapy and integrative nutrition services.

GCM’s growth has been accompanied by consistently strong patient feedback, with the practice maintaining a spectacular rating across thousands of patient reviews. The practice also offers female gastroenterology specialists for patients who prefer care from a female physician, along with multilingual and culturally inclusive care.

Gastro Center of Maryland maintains offices in Annapolis, Bethesda, Columbia, Gaithersburg, Olney, Owings Mills, Riverdale, Rockville, Silver Spring, Timonium and White Marsh, and is part of the Gastro Centers of America family of practices.

Ledger-BPO, a new division of SS Support Network LLC, provides named remote accountants and billing agents who handle bookkeeping, invoicing, receivables, payables, reconciliation and month-end close for businesses and accounting firms across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Vancouver, WA, United States, 21st Sep 2026, Grand Newswire – SS Support Network LLC has launched LedgerBPO, a dedicated accounting and billing outsourcing division built for small and mid-sized businesses and for the accounting firms that serve them. The new brand, which operates at https://ledgerbpo.com, assigns each client a named accountant supported by a trained backup and a team lead, working inside the client’s existing accounting software and during the client’s own business hours.

The launch follows six years of back-office work by SS Support Network in healthcare and ground transportation, sectors where billing accuracy and collection speed decide whether a company survives. Over that period the company’s teams handled invoicing, claims, receivables follow-up and bank reconciliation for operators across multiple US states. LedgerBPO packages that experience for a wider market at a moment when demand for outside finance help is climbing. Industry analysts put the global finance and accounting outsourcing market at roughly 76 billion dollars in 2026, with order-to-cash work, meaning invoicing and collections, accounting for more than half of all spending, and small and mid-sized companies the fastest-growing group of buyers.

What separates the division from subscription bookkeeping platforms is scope. LedgerBPO does not stop at categorising transactions. Its teams send the invoices, chase them, apply the payments, process the bills for approval, reconcile every bank, card and payment-processor account, and close the books on a published calendar each month. A billing help desk, staffed by agents who answer customer questions about invoices and set up payment arrangements by phone, email and chat under the client’s own brand, comes from the company’s call-centre roots and is not commonly offered by accounting-only providers.

“Most owners do not want another dashboard. They want to know that the books are closed, the invoices went out and somebody is actually calling the customers who have not paid,” said Shahzaib Shah, founder and chief executive of SS Support Network. “That is the standard LedgerBPO is built around. A real person owns the ledger, a second person checks it, and the client approves every payment. Nothing moves without them.”

The full catalogue at https://ledgerbpo.com/services/ covers more than eighty remote functions arranged in ten groups: monthly and catch-up bookkeeping, invoicing and subscription billing, accounts receivable and cash application, accounts payable and expense management, bank and marketplace reconciliation, month-end and year-end close, management reporting and cash-flow forecasting, payroll and statutory preparation support, healthcare and specialised billing, and billing calls and customer contact. Every function is delivered remotely; the company does not place staff on client premises.

For accounting, CPA and bookkeeping practices, Ledger BPO offers white-label capacity: dedicated accountants who work in the firm’s practice-management and tax software, produce work under the firm’s brand and pass every file through a two-tier review before a partner sees it. Tax workpapers for United States firms are prepared only under the client firm’s review and signature and with written taxpayer consent, in line with Internal Revenue Code Section 7216. Details for practices are published at https://ledgerbpo.com/for-accounting-firms/.

The division launches with country-specific workflows rather than a single US template. United Kingdom clients receive VAT workings and digital-record bookkeeping compatible with Making Tax Digital, whose income-tax phase began for higher-earning sole traders and landlords in April 2026. Australian clients receive Business Activity Statement workpapers prepared for lodgement by their own registered agent, together with payroll and superannuation reconciliation ahead of the Payday Super rules that take effect from July 2026. Canadian clients receive GST, HST, PST and QST workings by province and a month-end package prepared for their chartered professional accountant. Coverage hours are set to each market’s business day.

Security controls are described plainly on the company’s website: least-privilege access to client systems, read-only bank connections wherever a platform allows them, multi-factor authentication on every account, background-checked staff, a signed confidentiality agreement per client and a rule that agents never hold, move or release client funds. Healthcare clients work under a business associate agreement with staff trained in HIPAA requirements. Certifications are listed on the site only when the company holds them.

“The failures people read about in this industry come from the same two places: pooled staff who do not know the client, and providers who lock the books inside their own software,” said Nimra Khalid, chief operating officer of SS Support Network. “Ledger BPO keeps the client’s data in the client’s tools and puts the same accountant on the file every month. It is a slower way to grow and a much better way to keep clients.”

Ledger BPO is the third brand in the SS Support Network group, alongside the parent company’s healthcare back-office services at https://sssupportnetwork.llc/ and TransportBPO, its ground-transportation division at https://transportbpo.com/. The three share the same delivery teams, quality process and client portal, which lets a home-care agency or a transport operator combine billing, dispatch and bookkeeping under one provider.

The Ledger BPO website is live now and includes a plain-English glossary of more than 150 accounting and billing terms, calculators for comparing in-house and outsourced finance costs and for measuring days sales outstanding, and a resource library that will publish original cost and receivables benchmarks across the four markets later this year. Businesses and firms can request a consultation through the website.

About Ledger BPO 
LedgerBPO is the accounting and billing division of SS Support Network LLC. It provides dedicated remote bookkeeping, invoicing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, reconciliation, month-end close and billing-support services to small and mid-sized businesses and accounting firms in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Learn more at https://ledgerbpo.com.

Australia, 21st Sep 2026 – The Brisbane Plumbers, a trusted plumbing services provider, has announced details of its commercial plumbing services across Brisbane. The announcement covers how the company supports commercial premises with plumbing needs distinct from residential properties, including larger-scale systems and compliance requirements.

The Brisbane Plumbers offers 24-7 emergency plumbing, pipe relining, blocked drain solutions with CCTV drain inspections, general plumbing repairs and maintenance, hot water system diagnostics and repairs, and gas fitting services. The company’s commercial plumbing service extends these capabilities to office buildings, retail premises, hospitality venues, and other commercial properties across Brisbane that require plumbing work outside standard residential scope.

Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in the scale of systems involved, and often in the need to minimise disruption to a business operating on site. The Brisbane Plumbers said commercial jobs can include larger hot water systems, multiple bathroom or kitchen fit-outs, backflow prevention, and drainage systems serving a whole building rather than a single dwelling. The company’s CCTV drain inspection equipment is used on commercial sites to identify blockages or damage in larger drainage networks without the need for exploratory digging.

Commercial clients also tend to have different compliance obligations than homeowners, particularly around backflow prevention and gas fitting, and The Brisbane Plumbers said its licensed technicians handle the documentation commercial clients need for building management or regulatory purposes. Work on commercial sites is generally scheduled around a business’s trading hours to limit disruption to staff and customers, with emergency work available outside those hours when required.

Commercial jobs handled by the company range from single-fixture repairs in a small office through to larger works across multi-tenancy buildings and hospitality venues, where kitchens, bathrooms, and hot water systems are used constantly throughout the day. The Brisbane Plumbers said this level of daily use means faults on commercial sites are often identified and reported earlier than in a typical household, but can also escalate faster if left unaddressed, which is part of the reasoning behind offering scheduled maintenance alongside emergency response for commercial accounts.

“Businesses that call a commercial plumber in Brisbane usually need work scheduled around trading hours, since a shutdown during business hours can cost more than the plumbing job itself,” said Joseph, Director of The Brisbane Plumbers. “The company works with commercial clients to plan jobs around their operating hours wherever possible, and still offers 24/7 emergency callouts for issues that cannot wait.”

The Brisbane Plumbers’ commercial plumbing service covers emergency callouts for burst pipes, gas leaks, and water leaks on commercial premises, alongside scheduled maintenance work such as hot water system servicing and general repairs. The company said commercial clients often require documentation of completed work for compliance or building management purposes, which is provided as part of the service. This commercial offering sits alongside the company’s residential plumbing services, which cover the same range of emergency, drainage, hot water, and gas fitting work for homes across Brisbane.

“Looking ahead, the plan is to keep building out commercial plumbing capacity as more Brisbane businesses look for a plumber that understands commercial premises,” Joseph said. “The Brisbane Plumbers expects continued demand from commercial clients who need reliable plumbing support alongside the residential work the company has built its reputation on.”

The Brisbane Plumbers is a plumbing services provider based in Geebung, Queensland, offering 24/7 emergency plumbing, pipe relining, blocked drain solutions, general plumbing, hot water system services, and gas fitting across Brisbane. The company serves both residential and commercial clients. The announcement regarding its commercial plumbing services reflects the company’s ongoing work supporting Brisbane businesses with their plumbing requirements.

For additional information about commercial plumber Brisbane services and related industry developments, contact The Brisbane Plumbers at 2/187 Murphy Road Geebung, QLD 4034. Inquiries regarding the company’s services, repairs, and maintenance can be directed to 1300 847 094 or by email at info@thebrisbaneplumbers.com.au.

Vienna, Austria, September 21st, 2026, FinanceWire

TradersYard today announced that it is making futures trading challenges its primary strategic focus, following strong growth in its futures business over recent months and the funding round announced in July 2026.

The funding round, led by Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG, is supporting TradersYard’s next phase of growth, including the expansion of its futures offering and the development of its proprietary technology for B2B clients.

TradersYard is also among the first proprietary trading firms to hold its own CME data distribution license, giving the company greater control over its trading infrastructure and creating new opportunities as it expands its futures offering.

“This is an exciting next step for TradersYard. The rapid growth of our futures challenges has confirmed both the strength of this market and the demand from our community. By focusing our energy, technology and resources on futures, we can accelerate innovation and create an even better experience for traders.” – Manuel Sonnleithner, CEO of TradersYard

As part of this strategic shift, TradersYard will discontinue its FX/CFD challenges after 30 September 2026. The decision reflects the significant momentum the company has experienced in futures and its commitment to concentrating resources where it sees the greatest opportunity for growth and innovation.

At the same time, TradersYard is expanding beyond its direct-to-trader business. Having developed its entire proprietary trading technology stack in-house, the company is preparing its software platform for its first B2B clients, which are currently being onboarded.

The increased focus on futures also aligns TradersYard with Andromeda Capital Partners’ broader investments in capital markets and trading technology. Andromeda is also an investor in MetroTrade, a fast-growing US-based futures broker providing access to exchange-traded futures and options on futures. 

“We see significant opportunities emerging around futures trading globally. Through our investments in TradersYard and MetroTrade, we are approaching the market from different angles – from proprietary trading technology and trader development to regulated brokerage and access to exchange-traded markets. These are independent businesses, but they reflect our broader conviction that there is significant room for innovation in the futures industry. We are excited to support Manuel and the TradersYard team through this next phase of growth.” – Ingmar Mattus, Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse AG

A New Chapter, With the Door Open to Future Innovation

While futures will be the primary focus for the next phase of TradersYard’s growth, the company will continue exploring new technologies, products and trading models across the proprietary trading industry.

Building its technology entirely in-house gives TradersYard the flexibility to innovate quickly, develop new products and push the boundaries of what a modern prop trading platform can offer both traders and B2B partners.

“Innovation has always been central to TradersYard. Our immediate focus is futures, but we will continue looking for new ways to improve the prop trading experience and develop technology that moves the industry forward.” – Sagar Mule, Head of Product

With a growing futures community, fresh funding, proprietary technology and its own CME data distribution capabilities, TradersYard is entering its next stage of growth with a clear focus: building one of the most innovative and technology-driven futures trading platforms in the industry.

About TradersYard

TradersYard is a proprietary trading company providing simulated trading challenges designed to help traders demonstrate their skills and pursue performance-based opportunities.

With all technology developed entirely in-house, transparent trading conditions and a commitment to continuous innovation, TradersYard is building trading experiences and technology for the next generation of the proprietary trading industry.

The expansion covers 30 US stocks, 14 ETFs and five USD-quoted foreign shares listed in mainland China, Hong Kong and South Korea, extending continuous access to Asian semiconductor and consumer names whose most significant news has historically landed while the exchanges quoting them were closed.

The US additions include SK Hynix (SKHYUSD) and Super Micro Computer (SMCIUSD), both tied closely to AI memory and server demand. Eleven of the 14 ETFs are single-stock or sector leveraged products, including the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXLUSD) and Direxion Daily Micron Bull 2X Shares (MUUUSD).

The five foreign shares reach markets that are harder for international clients to access directly: GigaDevice from the China A-share market, Pop Mart and Tencent from Hong Kong, and Samsung Electronics (SAMSUNGUSD) and Hyundai from South Korea. The Samsung line is quoted as the Korea-listed share rather than a depositary receipt.

Because these instruments are quoted in USD while the underlying shares are listed in other currencies, movements in the relevant exchange rate will affect the position in addition to movements in the share price. Chinese A-shares are also subject to daily price limits. Where the underlying reaches its applicable price limit or is suspended, pricing and execution on the corresponding CFD may be affected. 

The additions reflect where market interest has concentrated through 2026. AI memory and server demand have pulled Korean supply-chain names into the same conversation as US megacaps, while leveraged single-stock and sector ETFs have become a common instrument for expressing short-horizon views on semiconductors. Both trends make continuous pricing more relevant to how these names are actually traded.

“We do not add symbols to look comprehensive. The test is whether a client would otherwise be left holding a view they have no way to act on, and across these 49, that test was easy to answer.” Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER

The launch extends STARTRADER’s 24/7 range further into Asian equity markets, following earlier expansions into Hong Kong-listed AI companies and global index ETFs. Further additions will be assessed as market interest shifts across regions and sectors.
