Lemonway , the pan-European payment solution for online marketplaces, has today announced a partnership with Ripple , the enterprise blockchain solution for global payments, to enable instant, more transparent and cost-effective European transactions. Through RippleNet, Ripple’s global financial payments network, Lemonway will transform its euro-to-euro payouts which currently make up 80% of its payments volume.
Today, Lemonway’s robust payment processing platform is trusted and used by over 1,400 marketplaces in Europe including 200 crowdfunding platforms. Yet, as it scales, the company finds it needs to increasingly manage large volumes of transactions across multiple merchants and regions across Europe. This creates complexity in managing finances and often leads to delays of up to one week for payouts and settlements.
By turning to RippleNet, Lemonway can use blockchain technology to directly address these operational and complexity challenges, all the while delivering a competitive advantage over its peers. Blockchain technology, like that available on RippleNet, can provide payment providers supporting marketplaces with a more transparent, reliable and efficient way to process payments. It can perform instant payouts, which allows marketplaces to offer more competitive payment services to merchants.
Today’s partnership will see Lemonway improve its euro-to-euro payment corridors thanks to Nium ’s global money transfer network, that spans across over 100 markets, 65 in real-time, and utilizes RippleNet for its speed, transparency and cost-efficiency. While the initial focus is on euro-to-euro payments, this could be expanded to other currencies and corridors in the future.
“As a company that embraces innovation, we are always looking for new business models and technological capabilities that can enable us to offer better services to the marketplaces we serve and specifically their beneficiaries,” said Martin-Pierre Gaultier, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer at Lemonway. “Our partnership with Ripple is a testament to this, and we’re excited to be able to offer faster and more cost-effective payouts to support the evolving needs of our customers and their platforms.”
“Our partnership with Lemonway is another significant endorsement of blockchain technology and its power to transform global payments,” said Asheesh Birla, GM of RippleNet. “In today’s competitive payments climate, technology makes the difference in delivering the best customer experience, and we are thrilled to be Lemonway’s trusted provider of instant and cost-effective B2B payment solutions to help them achieve that.”

Industrial Decarbonization: Calderion, WenCo and Terravent Invest in Graforce to Scale Plasma Pyrolysis Globally25.2.2026 08:07:00 CET | Press release
The investor consortium comprising the Paris-based Next Generation Fuels Industrial & Technological fund Calderion (Audacia), alongside infrastructure developer Terravent and WenCo Family Office, announces the closing of a strategic double-digit million-euro financing round for Berlin-based Graforce GmbH. The investment is dedicated to the industrial scale-up of Graforce’s proprietary plasma pyrolysis technology, addressing the growing global demand for cost-efficient low-carbon hydrogen, syngas, and carbon removal solutions that are compatible with existing industrial infrastructures. Disruptive alternative to conventional processes Graforce’s technology aims at replacing CO₂-intensive legacy routes such as steam reforming and classical gasification. By applying plasma to methane, biogas, flare gas, and landfill gas, the process converts these streams into their valuable molecular components instead of emitting them. The result is a high-efficiency production of clean hydrogen and syn
