Crosshub Garners Global Attention for Top Innovation at CES 2026

## Crosshub Dominates CES 2026 Fintech Best of Innovation Award! Leading Global Identity Verification and Payment Innovation with 'Financial Passport' Domestic startup Crosshub proved the power of Korean technology on the global stage by winning the Best of Innovation award in the fintech category at CES 2026. This achievement firmly demonstrates Crosshub's unique competitiveness, which leads innovation in the identity verification and payment sectors. The star of this award is Crosshub's 'Financial Passport' service. Developed to solve the chronic difficulties short-term visiting foreigners face with app registration or payments locally, this service organically combines the blockchain-based identity verification system 'ID Block' and the simple payment solution 'B·Pay (BlockPay)'. Through this, users can seamlessly proceed from identity verification to e-wallet linkage and payment with a single identity token. From the perspective of businesses, it dramatically reduces complex KYC (Know Your Customer) and payment integration costs, while simultaneously providing a powerful tool to easily acquire customers worldwide. The fact that Crosshub won the Best of Innovation award, standing out among over 30 categories at CES, where thousands of innovative technologies compete annually, proves that Crosshub's technology and business model possess sufficient potential to succeed in the global market. Kim Jae-seol, CEO of Crosshub, stated, "This is the result of our team's vision to create a new user experience that breaks down the boundaries between identity verification and payment being recognized," adding, "We will use this award as a stepping stone to further expand global partnerships and accelerate large-scale commercialization." The future of the global fintech market that Crosshub's 'Financial Passport' will shape is highly anticipated.
