Head of in3 Named Most Innovative CEO in the Payments Industry by Business Worldwide Magazine
LONDON, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Hans Langenhuizen of NL based fintech company in3 has been named in the 2023 Business Worldwide Magazine CEO Awards. The awards seek to identify and celebrate the world’s most impressive business leaders, across a range of industries. Unlike many other business awards, which focus on the overall success of a company, here the spotlight is on the CEOs, directors and other C-level executives that lead them. The aim is to give outstanding business leaders the recognition they deserve, while inspiring others to achieve similar successes. Hans Langenhuizen was the outright winner in his category, “Most Innovative CEO in the payments industry.”
With countries all over the world in the throes of a cost-of-living crisis, the option to pay for goods in instalments has become an increasingly attractive proposition. The Buy Now, Pay Later market is growing rapidly, but many services of this kind come with a set of dangers that can leave consumers paying a huge amount of interest and plunging deeper into debt. in3 is dedicated to minimising the risks for both customers and businesses through its socially responsible approach.
Based in Eindhoven, NL, the company gives consumers the freedom to manage their cash flow more efficiently by purchasing items like beds, sofas and consumer electronics in three interest-free payments. in3 uses a comprehensive range of credit and affordability checks to protect society’s most financially vulnerable and minimise the risk of people finding themselves in debt further down the line.
According to a recent study by Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), consumers spend an average of 72% more per transaction when given the option to break their payments into smaller chunks without interest. Companies like Furnea, who partner with in3, are seeing significantly higher conversion rates and a huge increase in the sale of items valued at €300 or more.
Hans Langenhuizen has been a bright light in fintech for years and has dedicated his career to shaping the finance industry for the better. His CV includes names like Geodis, Bas Volvo, Atos Origin, Wincor Nixdorf, Aevi and Ingenico ePayments, and since taking the helm at in3 the company has enjoyed impressive growth.

DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, now offers API access for its On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings products. Expansion to other Earn product types is currently in progress. Full technical specifications and integration instructions are available in the official API documentation.
This new integration gives institutional users and developers the ability to connect directly with Bybit’s infrastructure, enabling efficient, automated, and scalable management of their yield-generating strategies.
Bybit’s On-Chain Earn products allows users to earn rewards by participating in blockchain-based (or “on-chain”) financial opportunities such as staking and liquidity protocols. These products provide users with a DeFi-like experience by enabling interaction with smart contracts on public blockchains without the need for technical expertise. Staking in the crypto world often demands significant technical know-how and dedicated hardware, making it inaccessible for many. Bybit’s On-Chain Earn removes these barriers by handling the complexities behind the scenes — including gas fees, node operations, and reward distribution — so users can stake with ease and confidence.
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a tool that allows different software systems to communicate. Bybit’s API allows developers and institutional users to programmatically access On-Chain Earn and Flexible Savings functions through their own platforms, enhancing customization and operational control.
“Bridging centralized access with decentralized opportunity is one of our core missions,” said Jerry Li, Head of Earn & Wealth Management at Bybit. “With API support for On-Chain Earn, we’re giving power users the infrastructure they need to build, manage, and fine-tune strategies with the speed and precision the market demands.”
The API offers structured access to key functions, including:
- An overview of currently available On-Chain Earn products, with filters by token and product category (LST, non-LST, or Mint),
- Detailed product data such as estimated APYs, staking terms, redemption timelines, minimum and maximum limits, exchange rates, and reward distribution mechanisms,
- Historical and real-time tracking of staking and redemption,
- Summaries of current positions and accrued rewards,
- Programmatic access to eligible Earn products for subscription and redemption, tailored to each supported mechanism.
This release marks a key step in Bybit’s continued efforts to support advanced users with infrastructure that connects centralized tools to decentralized finance opportunities.

BTC Pricing Alert: Bitcoin Rebounds as Trump’s Trade War Comments Ignite Market Rally – Bybit x Block Scholes Report
DUBAI, UAE, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest weekly crypto derivatives analytics report in partnership with Block Scholes. The report highlights a shift in market sentiment following upbeat remarks from US President Trump on trade negotiations with China, which coincided with a broad rally in both crypto and equity markets.
Earlier last week, Bitcoin showed signs of decoupling from US equities. Following the announcement of a 145% tariff on Chinese goods and comments from Trump, BTC climbed by more than 7% from April 21, 2025, alongside broader risk assets. Short-tenor implied volatility rose, and put-call skew turned upward by 5%, indicating that traders had been positioning for further gains at the time.
Key Highlights:
Perpetual open interest rises across tokens
Perpetual futures open interest climbed significantly by 20% last week, particularly for ETH. Trading volumes also increased, with April 7, 2025 recording the highest daily volume for the month. The spike followed Trump’s comment: “Forget markets for a second, we have all the advantages.”
BTC option open interest shows a mixed picture; put-call skew in short tenor sends positive signals
President Trump’s recent willingness to negotiate a trade deal with China’s President Xi triggered a relief rally across asset classes, including crypto. Bitcoin had already risen 7% since Apr 21, 2025 prior to Trump’s comments. Despite this rally, open interest in puts has outpaced calls, with options volume remaining relatively balanced.
It’s unclear if the demand for puts reflects a hedge against downside risks, or a bet against the upward movement. Meanwhile, perpetual funding rates are providing limited insight into sentiment. However, the recovery of the put-call skew at short tenors indicates that traders are seeking upside exposure to the rally — and are willing to pay for it.
ETH outperforms BTC by 1% in the past week, signals rebound expectations
ETH led last week’s rally in spot markets — a rare occurrence in past relief rallies. Options data shows ETH calls nearly double puts in open interest, with calls also dominating volume. This suggests traders expect ETH to close its recent performance gap with BTC and competing chains like SUI and SOL. ETH’s term structure also inverted again, reflecting expectations of near-term price action.
