Why Broad Outreach Fails in Crypto Payments

Most outbound playbooks in crypto payments hit the same wall:

  • Overly broad targeting — luxury retail, real estate, and manufacturing accounts that will never adopt crypto.
  • Price-driven messaging — “30% cheaper than your provider” sounds good, but switching costs and compliance risks outweigh tiny savings.
  • Competitor overlap — campaigns going to direct rivals like Fortris, SatoshiPay, or goSettle, who already have in-house rails.
  • Low personalization — generic cold emails that don’t match a company’s actual pain.

The result: wasted sends, GDPR complaints, and very few qualified leads.

Finding High-Intent Crypto Companies

To break this pattern, INXY used Crona to expand and refine its lead pool:

  • Mass scraping: pulled thousands of companies from directories, websites, and marketplaces.
  • Crypto intent scoring: classified each company based on how it interacts with crypto — accepting payments, paying employees, NFT activity, mining, or treasury holdings.
  • Segmentation: grouped results into actionable clusters — fintech platforms, creator economies, SaaS with global payouts, marketplaces, gaming, and EdTech.

Instead of “every company on LinkedIn,” INXY now had a structured dataset of crypto-relevant leads.

Why Segmentation Beats Discounts

Before segmentation, outreach leaned on discounts.

After segmentation, outreach leaned on pain-specific value:

  • Creator platforms: “fast USDT payouts for artists and streamers.”
  • Marketplaces: “better crypto checkout conversion with instant fiat settlement.”
  • EdTech/SaaS: “batch payments to 2,500+ contractors through CSV or API.”

This shift turned outreach from irrelevant spam into relevant offers.

Results Achieved

📊 After switching to intent-driven targeting:

  • Higher share of ICPs (fintech, web3, SaaS, marketplaces).
  • More qualified replies per 100 sends.
  • Fewer GDPR complaints and bounces thanks to clean lists and relevant hooks.

Takeaway

In crypto payments, price isn’t the hook.

What converts is compliance, coverage, and operational simplicity — delivered to the right ICP.

With Crona, INXY turned a noisy market into a clean, segmented pipeline and scaled outreach without wasted effort.
