In the U.S., Ryvyl adapted to regulatory changes impacting certain markets by restructuring operations and expanding into new verticals with high-risk processing.
The company is actively pursuing private and white label licensing, expecting to begin transactions in Q4 2024, which will lower per-transaction fees but increase gross margins and reduce operational risk.
Opportunities:
Significant growth in international markets, particularly in Europe, driven by banking-as-a-service offerings and strategic partnerships with entities like Visa and ACI Worldwide.
Expansion into high-margin verticals and product offerings such as NanoKard and RYVYL Fabric, which are expected to enhance the company's processing capabilities and secure financial transactions.
Risks:
Regulatory changes in the U.S. impacted a niche industry customer base and North American revenue, requiring operational restructuring and a strategic shift towards licensing to mitigate risks.
Economic uncertainties and regulatory challenges might affect the speed and scale of expansion, especially in high-risk verticals and new market entries.
