​​​NOWPayments welcomes Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) as the newest addition to their ever-growing list of supported coins, including 30 popular coins such as Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Bitcoin (BTC), Dash (DASH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Zcoin (XZC). NOWPayments aims to make the process of cryptocurrency adoption as easy as possible for e-commerce merchants. The addition of BCD as a supported coin allows NOWPayments’ clients to expand their reach to BCD users worldwide.

NOWPayments provides instant auto-conversion for their customers’ funds, which alleviates the risk of losing money to market price fluctuations. Other benefits of their services include an easy-to-deploy API with an in-depth manual as well as custody-free service with no hidden fees. With a wide variety of supported coins and support agents that are available 24/7, NOWPayments’ services are widely recognized and trusted by users all over the world.

BCD is known for its fast transactions, low fees, high security, and affordable coin prices, and is designed to make everyday transactions practical. Now that NOWPayments has added BCD to its easy-to-implement API and ready-to-go solutions, any NOWPayments merchants can accept BCD as payment with minimal effort and initial investment.

“NOWPayments was created with a vision of becoming the easiest way to accept cryptocurrency payments, which is why we worked so hard to grow our list of accepted coins,” said NOWPayments in a statement.

Over the past several years, cryptocurrency has emerged as the next evolution of currency, thanks to its convenience, cost-effectiveness and decentralization. Designed as a means of transaction as peer-to-peer electronic cash, it matches the functionality of traditional fiat currency and goes beyond in efficiency, accessibility and security. Bitcoin launched in 2009 as the first cryptocurrency, and hundreds of others have since followed.

About Bitcoin Diamond (BCD)

Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) is a Bitcoin fork created to solve slow transaction confirmations and high threshold requirements.

In 2018, BCD debuted BCD Bazaar, an international marketplace that gives customers access to a wide range of products from across the world by accepting payments in Bitcoin Diamond (BCD) or Bitcoin (BTC).
