IDBLOCK

Crosshub, a fintech startup, announced today it will showcase its groundbreaking platform IDBlock + B·Pay at CES 2026 in Las Vegas in January. Billed as the world’s first “Borderless Trust Infrastructure,” the solution is designed to address two of the biggest pain points for the world’s 1.4 billion international travelers: verifying identity and making seamless payments abroad.IDBlock enables users to verify identity without exposing unnecessary personal details. Built on blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and enhanced with Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP), it supports selective disclosure—for instance, proving “over 19” without revealing a full date of birth. Crosshub emphasizes the platform's value in industries such as hospitality, telecom, fintech, and digital health, where security and compliance standards are rising.B·Pay addresses the fragmentation of global payment networks. Travelers can continue using the same wallets and cards abroad, while merchants gain access to international customers through a single API integration. According to Crosshub, B·Pay can reduce onboarding and transaction costs for merchants by up to 30% compared with conventional cross-border solutions.The announcement aligns with CES 2026’s themes of AI, mobility, and digital trust. Market data indicates that the total value of digital payments worldwide is projected to reach about $16.6 trillion by 2028, with cross-border e-commerce transactions expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of around 15% over the next decade. Crosshub positions its platform as the missing layer of a privacy-focused, interoperable digital ecosystem.“Identity and payment should not stop at borders,” said Jay, CEO of Crosshub. “With IDBlock + B·Pay, we aim to deliver safer and more inclusive experiences for travelers worldwide. CES 2026 is the stage to demonstrate why this technology matters now.”
