ZBD has built a vertically-integrated payments infrastructure that lets game developers and publishers embed instant fiat, bitcoin, and gift-card payouts or pay-ins natively within gameplay. Running on the Bitcoin Lightning Network, the platform already processes over 120 million transactions per year and has doubled the number of games using its SDK in the last 12 months through partners such as TapNation, Fumb Games, and PlayEmber. Its regulatory foundation now includes MiCAR and EMI licences in the Netherlands as well as Money Transmitter Licences in the United States, giving the company broad latitude to offer card issuance, bank transfers, virtual IBANs, and currency exchange services. During 2026 the firm plans to launch a complete compliance-ready payments stack for console, PC, and mobile titles, expanding across North America, Europe, LATAM, and APAC. Future product enhancements will add new developer tooling and deeper integrations to strengthen lifetime value and new revenue streams for publishers. Management positions ZBD as the only licensed provider that can deliver instant real-money earnings at scale in games, turning payments from a cost centre into a strategic capability. The company is pursuing global licensing expansion and larger commercial footprints to capitalize on its current product-market fit in mobile payouts.
