ROBESONIA, Pa., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS), a leading Web3 infrastructure company, today announced the official launch of ApolloCASH, a revolutionary zero-knowledge settlement protocol designed to connect global cash payment platforms with blockchain-based liquidity. ApolloCASH introduces a new financial standard built on its core architecture:
Autonomous Protocol for One-Time Liquidity & Ledger Operations using CASH Rails
ApolloCASH enables users across the world to instantly convert payments made through familiar fiat applications—such as Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Wise, and Revolut—into on-chain settlement liquidity through automated, single-use liquidity pools (SULPs). By combining traditional payment rails with zero-knowledge proof verification and atomic blockchain operations, ApolloCASH provides a secure, private, and trustless alternative to outdated banking and remittance systems.
A New Standard for Global Settlement
ApolloCASH verifies fiat payments using cutting-edge cryptography including zkTLS, zkEmail and ApolloID producing immutable proofs that confirm a transaction occurred without revealing user data.
Once verified:
1. ZXUSD is minted
2. A unique Single-Use Liquidity Pool (SULP) is created
3. LP ownership is transferred to the receiver
4. The receiver may redeem instantly for fiat, ZXUSD, or other crypto assets
This “one pool per transaction” design eliminates liquidity fragmentation, slippage, custody risk, and other vulnerabilities inherent in traditional pooled-liquidity models.
“ApolloCASH brings together the speed and familiarity of Web2 payments with the automation and security of Web3 infrastructure. It introduces a modern settlement layer that transforms how money moves globally—without requiring users to change their sending habits. Imagine sitting in Colorado on a Sunday and needing to send $1,000 via Cash App or PayPal to an employee in Dubai, only to find that they are blocked from using those platforms and they only have access to Revolut or Wise. With ApolloCASH, they can now instantly off-ramp into dirhams using Revolut or Wise, regardless of regional restrictions. Users are no longer confined by P2P platform limitations, slow foreign exchange processes, or the excessive costs of cross-border remittance,” said Shannon Hill, CEO of BLAQclouds. “ApolloCASH allows every major cash-based payment app to become a seamless, frictionless global on-ramp into digital commerce.”
ApolloCASH Simple Send and Receive UI
Why is this important?
According to BBVA, global remittance flows (money sent worldwide, across countries) were estimated to reach roughly US$887 billion in 2024. Based on the most recent Remittance Prices Worldwide (RPW) dataset, the global average cost for sending remittances was about 6.35% and began to rise mid-Q2 2024, and the average transaction took between 1 and 5 days to complete.
ApolloCASH reduces this latency by:
- Bypassing multi-bank intermediary chains.
- Using blockchain and liquidity-pool mechanisms for instant minting and redemption.
- Providing on/off-ramp via Cash Rails + crypto rails, which — in many cases — can settle in minutes to near-instant, far faster than traditional 1–5 day windows.
This speed advantage — combined with lower cost — becomes a major differentiator vs legacy remittance platforms.
