NEXTECH3D.AI ANNOUNCES ROLLOUT OF CRYPTO PAYMENTS WITH USDC -USD COIN AND USDT -TETHER

Nextech3D.AI Corp. has made two major financial infrastructure upgrades: first, a staged rollout of cryptocurrency payment support, beginning with USDC (USD coin) and USDT (Tether), across its 3-D modelling, hosting and event tech platforms, and second, the launch of ACH (automated clearing house) payment functionality on its MapD event management platform, integrated through Stripe, Authorize.net and QuickBooks.

These enhancements mark a significant step in Nextech3D.AI's mission to become a fully digital-first, low-cost platform, enabling flexible global payments while expanding customer adoption and margin potential across all business lines.

Evan Gappelberg, chief executive officer of Nextech3D.AI, commented: "This isn't just about new payment options. It's about building financial agility into our platforms, whether it's crypto or ACH, we're giving customers more control, reducing our costs, and reinforcing our value as a modern technology company and infrastructure provider."

Why USDC and USDT

Stablecoins like USDC and USDT offer the speed and cost-efficiency of cryptocurrency with the price stability of the U.S. dollar, making them ideal for international business transactions and high-volume business-to-business settlements. According to the World Economic Forum:

• USDC, backed one to one by dollar reserves and issued by Circle (in partnership with Coinbase), is among the most transparent and regulated stablecoins available today.
• USDT (Tether) is the most widely used stablecoin globally, especially in cross-border commerce and Web3 ecosystems.

By accepting stablecoins, Nextech3D.AI will:

• Reduce payment processing fees by up to 95 per cent;
• Enable near-instant settlement across borders;
• Eliminate traditional credit card friction;
• Expand payment options for digital-native clients and international partners.

Global momentum for stablecoin payments

Nextech3D.AI joins a growing list of companies embracing stablecoins as a legitimate, scalable payment method. This shift underscores the rapid maturation and institutional adoption of stablecoins in mainstream commerce.

Implementation and compliance infrastructure

Nextech3D.AI's staged crypto payment rollout includes:

• Wallet support through self-custody or Coinbase commerce;
• Real-time fiat-to-crypto pricing using the CoinGecko API;
• Full webhook and API automation for transaction confirmation and fulfilment;
• Integration with Koinly, Bitwave or Cryptio for tax and compliance tracking;
• Adherence to know-your-client/anti-money laundering regulations in all applicable regions.

Initial adoption will focus on enterprise clients within Nextech3D.AI's 3-D modelling and Map Dynamics divisions, with a broader rollout continuing through the rest of 2025.

ACH payments now live on MapD -- driving down costs

In parallel, Nextech3D.AI has launched ACH payment support on its MapD event platform, delivering immediate cost savings and workflow benefits for event organizers, venues and non-profits.

Advantages of ACH payments include:

• Up-to-80-per-cent lower transaction fees;
• Faster cash flow and liquidity;
• Seamless integration with existing financial systems;
• Enhanced retention through deeper platform embedding.

Strategic alignment with growth and margin expansion

These dual financial upgrades support Nextech3D.AI's long-term strategic priorities:

• Expand gross margin through reduced processing costs;
• Increase average revenue per user and customer lifetime value;
• Deepen platform utility and enterprise stickiness;
• Drive adoption in both traditional and blockchain-native sectors.

ACH functionality is fully live. The staged crypto payment rollout is in progress and will continue throughout the second half of 2025.
