ChangeNOW adds Private Send to boost wallet privacy
ChangeNOW has launched Private Send, a new feature in its NOW Wallet that prevents direct links between sender and recipient addresses on public blockchains.
The tool routes transactions through ChangeNOW’s infrastructure instead of sending funds directly, allowing recipients to see a standard incoming transfer without exposing the original sender’s address.
“Public blockchains were supposed to be about financial freedom, not financial surveillance,”
Said ChangeNOW CSO Pauline Shangett.
Private Send arrives as blockchain analytics firms increasingly map wallet activity into identifiable clusters, challenging the assumption that self-custodied wallets provide anonymity.
The feature works through a simple toggle in the wallet interface, routing transactions from sender to ChangeNOW and then to the recipient without requiring additional apps or technical setup.
ChangeNOW said all transactions still undergo standard AML screening and the feature operates within its existing compliance framework rather than functioning as a mixing or anonymisation service.

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
