Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization RYVYL, Inc. (the “Company”) is a tech company formed with the intent of developing, marketing and selling innovative blockchain-based payment solutions, which the Company believes will cause favorable disruption in the payment solutions marketplace. The Company’s core focus is to develop and monetize disruptive blockchain-based applications, integrated within an end-to-end suite of financial products, capable of supporting a multitude of industries. The Company’s proprietary, blockchain-based systems are designed to facilitate, record and store a virtually limitless volume of tokenized assets, representing cash or data, on a secured, immutable blockchain-based ledger. The Company was formerly known as ASAP Expo, Inc (“ASAP”), which was incorporated April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On January 4, 2020, PubCo and GreenBox POS LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“PrivCo”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), to memorialize a verbal agreement (the “Verbal Agreement”) entered into on April 12, 2018, by and among PubCo (the buyer) and PrivCo, which was formed on August 10, 2017 (the seller). On April 12, 2018, pursuant to the Verbal Agreement, PubCo acquired PrivCo’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business and kiosk business, bank and merchant accounts, as well as all intellectual property related thereto (the “GreenBox Business”). As consideration for the GreenBox Business, on April 12, 2018, PubCo assumed PrivCo’s liabilities that had been incurred in the normal course of the GreenBox Business (the “GreenBox Acquisition”). For accounting and reporting purposes, PubCo deemed the GreenBox Acquisition a “Reverse Acquisition” with PrivCo designated the “accounting acquirer” and PubCo designated the “accounting acquiree.” On May 21, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Northeast Merchant Systems, Inc. (“Northeast”) in a transaction treated as a business combination. Northeast is a merchant services company providing merchant credit card processing through their own Bank Identification Number (BIN) with the acquiring bank Merrick. This involves inside operations for new merchants that include sales assistance and applications processing, underwriting, and onboarding; inside operations for existing merchants include risk monitoring and customer service. Outside operations include: equipment service or replacement; sales calls and applications, site inspections and identity verification; security verification; and on-site customer service and technical support. On July 13, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), RYVYL, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into and closed on a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Charge Savvy LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Charge Savvy”), and Charge Savvy’s three members (collectively, the “Sellers”). As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of Charge Savvy’s issued and outstanding membership interests from the Sellers and Charge Savvy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Although the Purchase Agreement is dated July 9th, it was entered into and closed on July 13th.The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement for the all- stock transaction consisted of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) being issued and delivered to Sellers in proportion to the Sellers’ share of their membership interests in Charge Savvy. The share price at issuance was $12.14. Charge Savvy is a global Fintech company that specializes on developing software and providing payment processing and point of sale services to the merchant services industry. Charge Savvy also owns an office building located in Chicago, Illinois where it is headquartered. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Transact Europe Holdings OOD. Transact Europe EAD (TEU) is an EU regulated electronic money institution headquartered in Sofia Bulgaria. TEU is a Principal Level Member of Visa, a Worldwide Member of MasterCard, and a Principal Member of China UnionPay. In addition, TEU is part of the direct SEPA program. With a global footprint, proprietary payment gateway, and technology platforms, TEU offers a comprehensive portfolio of services and decades of industry experience. TEU provides complete payment solutions by offering acquiring, issuing of prepaid cards and agent banking, serving hundreds of clients. The Company paid approximately $28.8 million (€26.0 million) in total consideration for the purchase. Name Change On May 3, 2018, PubCo formally changed its name to GreenBox POS LLC, then subsequently changed its name to GreenBox POS on December 13, 2018. On October 13, 2022 GreenBox POS changed its name to RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “the Company,” “we,” “our”, “us” and “PubCo” refer to RYVYL Inc.. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “PrivCo” or the “Private Company” refer to GreenBox POS LLC, a limited liability company, formed in the state of Washington. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES COVID-19 considerations In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption in the financial and capital markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain or treat its impact and the economic impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be materially adversely affected, particularly if the pandemic persists for a significant period of time. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. These provisions are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company’s cash, cash equivalent and Restricted cash represents the following: ● Cash and cash equivalents ● Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,960,887 $ 89,045,202 Restricted cash 26,872,835 514,493 $ 40,833,722 $ 89,559,695 Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to be payment processing services for its merchant clients. When such merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information, engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, and recording the transaction on a blockchain ledger are the activities for which the Company gets to collect fees. In 2022 and 2021 the Company utilized several gateways. The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released. Therefore, the total gateway balances reflected in the Company’s books represent the amount owed to the Company for processing – these are funds from transactions processed and not yet distributed. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers or when the Company satisfies any performance obligations under contract. The amount of revenue reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the respective goods or services provided. Further, under Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASC 606”), contract assets or contract liabilities that arise from past performance but require a further performance before the obligation can be fully satisfied must be identified and recorded on the balance sheet until respective settlements have been met. The Company’s primary revenue source is generated from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed, at a point in time. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses from the inability of gateways to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the operational relationship with gateways and their payment history, historical charge-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses primarily consist of $6.9 million in deposits made with credit card companies iunder Transact Europe and the prepayment associated with other acquisitions. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company assesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for assets in Level 3. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets is the discount rate. The change in this input could result in a change of fair value measurement: The table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10: Fair Value at December 31, 2022 Customer Relationships $ 4,856,653 Business intellectual properties 1,881,962 Derivative Liability $ 254,979 Fair Value at December 31, 2021 Customer Relationship $ 5,820,195 Business Technology/IP 2,611,088 Derivative liability $ 18,735,000 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination determined to have an indefinite useful life are generally not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Other intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever management believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To the extent that the carrying value is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment loss is recognized through a charge to expense. As of December 31, 2022, other than a charge off of 100 percent of the consideration paid in connection with the contracted acquisition of the Sky Financial portfolio, the Company performed an impairment analysis on the other acquired goodwill and other long-lived assets and is of the view that their values are supportable and recoverable. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2021, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits. Earnings Per Share A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect. Leases On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) including ASC Topic 840, Leases. For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date. Segment Reporting The Company has organized its operations into two segments: North America, and International. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. During 2021, the Company operated in one reporting segment, since the International Segment was not introduced until 2022. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Management determined the operational data used by the chief operating decision maker is that of the two reportable segments. Management bases strategic goals and decisions on these segments and the data presented below is used to measure financial results. Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating income or (loss) as compared to prior periods and current performance levels. Recently Accounting Pronouncement Not Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, " Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers The FASB issued ASU 2020-06 (“Update”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating large sections of the existing guidance in this area. It also eliminates several triggers for derivative accounting, including a requirement to settle certain contracts by delivering registered shares. These changes are intended to make GAAP easier to apply and, therefore, reduce the frequency of errors in this part of the literature. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Prior Period Adjustment [Abstract]
Error Correction [Text Block]	3. RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During the preparation of this Annual Report, the Company determined that it had not appropriately accounted for certain historical transactions under US GAAP. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the materiality of the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, individually and in aggregate, and concluded that the errors were material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ending March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and for the annual period ending December 31, 2021. Based on this evaluation, on January 13, 2023 the Audit Committee, with the concurrence of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the periods above would need to be restated and could no longer be relied upon. The Company has restated the impacted financial statements for each of these periods, and presented the effects of the restatement adjustments to those statements below. The categories of misstatements and their impact on our previously issued consolidated financial statements are described in more detail below. Description of Misstatements The following include descriptions of the significant adjustments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations from the previously reported consolidated financial statements.

Settlement Processing Abstract
Settlement Processing [Text Block]	5. SETTLEMENT PROCESSING The Company’s proprietary blockchain-based technology serves as the settlement engine for all transactions within the Company’s ecosystem. The blockchain ledger provides a robust and secure platform to log immense volumes of immutable transactional records in real time. Generally speaking, blockchain is a distributed ledger that uses digitally encrypted keys to verify, secure and record details of each transaction conducted within an ecosystem. Unlike general blockchain-based systems, GreenBox uses proprietary, private ledger technology to verify every transaction conducted within the GreenBox ecosystem. The verification of transaction data comes from trusted partners, all of whom have been extensively vetted by us. GreenBox facilitates all financial elements of our closed-loop ecosystem and we act as the administrator for all related accounts. Using our TrustGateway technology, we seek authorization and settlement for each transaction from Gateways to the issuing bank responsible for the credit/debit card used in the transaction. When the Gateway settles the transaction, our TrustGateway technology composes a chain of blockchain instructions to our ledger manager system. When consumers use credit/debit cards to pay for transactions with merchants who use our ecosystem, the transaction starts with the consumer purchasing tokens from us. The issuance of tokens is accomplished when we load a virtual wallet with a token, which then transfers credits to the merchant’s wallet on a dollar for dollar basis, after which the merchant releases its goods or services to the consumer. These transfers take place instantaneously and seamlessly, allowing the transaction experience to seem like any other ordinary credit/debit card transaction to the consumer and merchant. While our blockchain ledger records transaction details instantaneously, the final cash settlement of each transaction can take days to weeks, depending upon contract terms between us and the gateways we use, between us and our ISOs, and between us and/or our ISOs and merchants who use our services. In the case where we have received transaction funds, but not yet paid a merchant or an ISO, we hold funds in either a trust account or as cash deemed restricted within our operating accounts. We record the total of such funds as Cash due from gateways, net – a Current Asset. Of these funds, we record the sum balance due to Merchants and ISOs as Payment processing liabilities, net – a Current Liability.

The Company determined that these embedded derivative required bifurcation and separate valuation. The Company utilizes a binomial lattice model to value its bifurcated derivatives included in the Notes. ASC 815 does not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be combined together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company selected a binomial lattice model to value the compound embedded derivative because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the Notes. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rates, credit risk assumptions, early redemption and conversion assumptions, and the potential for future adjustment of the conversion price due to triggering events. Additionally, there are other embedded features of the Notes requiring bifurcation, other than the conversion features, which had no value at December 31, 2020 due to management’s estimates of the likelihood of certain events, but that may have value in the future should those estimates change. A continuity of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2022 is summarized as follows: Total Balance, December 1, 2020 $ - Derivative liability on convertible debentures 21,580,000 Change in fair value 2021 (2,845,000 ) Balance, December 31, 2021 $ 18,735,000 Change in fair value 2022 (18,480,021 ) Balance, December 31, 2022 $ 254,979 The Company sold and issued, in a registered direct offering, an 8% senior convertible note due November 3, 2023, and subsequently extended to November 5, 2024, in the aggregate original principal amount of $100 million (the “Note”). The Note had an original issue discount of sixteen percent (16%) resulting in gross proceeds of $84 million. The Note was sold pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 2, 2021 (the “SPA”), between The Company and the investor in the Note (the “Investor”). The Note was issued on November 8, 2021, pursuant to an indenture dated November 2, 2021 between the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture thereto, dated November 2, 2021, relating to the Notes (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “First Indenture”). The terms of the Note include those provided in the First Indenture and those made part of the First Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. Ranking The Note is the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and not the financial obligations of our subsidiaries. Until such date as the principal amount of the Note is $5 million or less, all payments due under the Note will be senior to all other indebtedness of the Company and/or any of our subsidiaries. Maturity Date Unless earlier converted, or redeemed, the Note, as amended, will mature on November 5, 2024, the third anniversary of their issuance date, which we refer to herein as the “Maturity Date”, subject to the right of the investors to extend the date: (i) if an event of default under the Note has occurred and is continuing (or any event shall have occurred and be continuing that with the passage of time and the failure to cure would result in an event of default under the Note) and (ii) for a period of 20 business days after the consummation of a fundamental transaction if certain events occur. We are required to pay, on the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid late charges on such principal and interest, if any. Interest The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum (a) shall commence accruing on the date of issuance, (b) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30- day months and (c) shall be payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each calendar quarter or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Note. If a holder elects to convert or redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being converted or redeemed will also be payable. If we elect to redeem all or any portion of a Note prior to the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed will also be payable. The interest rate of the Note will automatically increase to 15% per annum upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (See “-- Events of Default” below). Late Charges We are required to pay a late charge of 15% on any amount of principal or other amounts that are not paid when due. Conversion Fixed Conversions at Option of Holder The holder of the Note may convert all, or any part, of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, at any time at such holder’s option, into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price, which is subject to: ● proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions; and ● full-ratchet adjustment in connection a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the fixed conversion price then in effect. On January 28, 2022, we and the Investor, entered into an Agreement and Waiver (the “Waiver”) with regard to the Note that has the following major provisions: a) the Investor agreed to extend the “90 Day Eligibility Date” from February 3, 2022 to May 2, 2022 such that the Investor can no longer, if the closing price of the stock is less than $5.50, convert up to $30 million of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (with the conversion price being the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date) (the “Alternate Optional Conversion Price”) prior to May 2, 2022; b) allows us to acquire, for cancellation, $6 million in in aggregate principal amount of the Note for a purchase price of $6.9 million such that the new principal amount of the Note is $94 million; c) lowers the initial fixed conversion price of the Note from $15 to $12; and d) if the trading volume of our common stock on any individual trading day is over $5 million (the “Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date”), allows the Investor an opportunity to convert up to $5 million of the Note into shares of our common stock from the Alternate Conversion Company Waiver Measuring Date through and including 7:00 PM ET on the immediately following trading day. The conversion price would be the lower of (i) the then in effect conversion price and (ii) the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price or (y) 98% of the market price on the conversion date. The Company paid the investor 6.0 million, $5.0 million and $3.6 million in principal in the first three quarters of 2022, respectively. Consisting of $12.2 million in cash and $2.4 million in interest, consisting of shares of company stock. The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Waiver, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.9 and incorporated herein by reference. 1- Year Alternate Optional Conversion At any time following the first anniversary of the issuance date of the Note, but only if the closing bid price of our common stock on the immediately prior trading day is less than $6.50, each holder of the Note shall have the option to convert, at such holder’s option, pro rata, up to $30 million of the principal amount of the Note (in $250,000 increments) at the Alternate Optional Conversion Price. Alternate Event of Default Optional Conversion If an event of default has occurred under the Note, each holder may alternatively elect to convert the Note (subject to an additional 15% redemption premium) at the “Alternate Event of Default Conversion Price” equal to the lesser of: ● the fixed conversion price then in effect; and the greater of: ● the floor price; and ● 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion. Beneficial Ownership Limitation The Note may not be converted and shares of common stock may not be issued under the Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the applicable holder of the Note (together with its affiliates, if any) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, which is referred to herein as the “Note Blocker”. The Note Blocker may be raised or lowered to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% at the option of the applicable holder of Notes, except that any raise will only be effective upon 61-days’ prior notice to us. Clarification to First Quarter Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price The Company wishes to clarify the possible first quarter adjustment to the Note’s initial fixed conversion price (which was originally $15 and is now, pursuant to the Waiver, $12). If, during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, the Company (i) fails to process at least $750 million in transaction volume or (ii) has revenue that is less than $12 million, and, if the Note’s fixed conversion price then in effect is greater than the greater of (x) the Note’s $1.67 floor price floor and (y) 140% of the market price as of April 1, 2022 (the “Adjustment Measuring Price”) then, on April 1, 2022, the fixed conversion price will automatically adjust to the Adjustment Measuring Price. Change of Control Redemption Right In connection with a change of control of the Company, each holder may require us to redeem in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value, the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes. The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption. The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration per share of our common stock to be paid to the holders of our common stock upon the change of control. Events of Default Under the terms of the first supplemental indenture, the events of default contained in the base indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Rather, the Notes contain standard and customary events of default including but not limited: (i) the suspension from trading or the failure to list our common stock within certain time periods; (ii) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. If an event of default occurs, each holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date we make the entire payment required. Company Optional Redemption Rights At any time no event of default exits, we may redeem all, but not less than all, the Notes outstanding in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes at a 5% redemption premium to the greater of the face value and the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes The equity value of the Company’s common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of our common stock on any trading day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such date we notify the applicable holder of such redemption election and the date we make the entire payment required. The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, and incorporated herein by reference.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for years 2019 and thereafter, and state and local income tax returns are open for years 2018 and thereafter. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. For the tax year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company recognized no interest or penalties.

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS	12 Months Ended

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Equity [Text Block]	11. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” using a modified prospective application, and the Black-Scholes model to value stock options. Under this application, the Company records compensation expense for all awards granted. Compensation costs will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The Company adopted the 2020 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (“2020 Plan”) in June 2020, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to employees and directors. The 2020 Plan provides for up to 3.3 million shares of common stock. Options granted under the 2020 Plan generally have a term of five years and generally vest and become exercisable at various times from the option grant dates. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant. The Company adopted the 2021 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (“2021 Plan”) in April 2021, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants. The 2021 Plan provides for up to 5.0 million shares of common stock. Options granted under the 2021 Plan shall have a term of five to ten years and generally vest and become exercisable at various times from the option grant dates. These options will have such vesting or other provisions as may be established by the Board of Directors at the time of each grant. The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Risk free interest rate 2.70 % 0.29 % Expected term (years) 5.0 5.0 Expected volatility 93.2 % 555.8 % Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s dividend rate at the time fair value is measured and future expectations.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company had the following related party transactions: ● Kenneth Haller and the Haller Companies Kenneth Haller (“Haller”) became the Company’s Senior Vice President of Payment Systems in November 2018. The Company began working indirectly with Haller earlier in 2018, both individually and through our relationship with MTrac Tech Corporation (“MTrac”), which in turn has business relationships with Haller. Haller brings considerable advantages to the Company’s platform development and business development efforts and capabilities, including transactional business relations and a large network of agents (the “Haller Network”). The Haller Network is an amalgamation of the collective networks of Haller and two companies owned or majority-owned by Haller, which are Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC (“Sky”), and Charge Savvy, LLC (collectively, the “Haller Companies”), each of which has formalized business relationships with the Company, as well as with some of the Company’s partners, which the Company believes allows the Company to maximize and diversity the Company’s market penetration capabilities. Haller, through Sky, owns controlling interests in Charge Savvy, LLC with whom the Company does business through their respective business relationship with MTrac. The following are certain transactions between the Company and the Haller Companies: Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with MTrac. It was through this successful relationship, that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skill set was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”). The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Mr. Haller left the Company in March 2022. The Company recognized net revenue of $13,130,482 from outside third-party merchants through independent sales organization (ISO), Sky, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company had accounts receivables of $6,540,027 from outside third-party merchants through Sky. The Company did not record any revenue from Sky in 2022. Charge Savvy, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Charge Savvy, LLC (“Charge Savvy”), an Illinois limited liability company. Haller serves as one of three Managing Members of Charge Savvy, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of Charge Savvy’s issued and outstanding membership interests and Charge Savvy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement for the all-stock transaction consisted of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock being issued and delivered to the Sellers in proportion to the Sellers’ share of their membership interests in Charge Savvy. The share price at issuance was $12.14. PrivCo The Company repurchased, in two separate repurchase transactions each consisting of 1 million shares of common stock, an aggregate of 2 million shares owned by PrivCo (an entity controlled by Messrs. Errez and Nisan). In October 2022, the Board unanimously ratified these two repurchase transactions between the Company and PrivCo. The Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares for a price per share of $5.59 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $5,590,000) (the “First Repurchase”) and 1,000,000 shares for a price per share of $0.82 (for total proceeds to PrivCo of $820,000) (the “Second Repurchase”). The First Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on November 24, 2021 and took place over a number of months starting in February 2022 and ending in October 2022. The Second Repurchase was based on the closing price of the common stock on July 29, 2022 and took place in October 2022. The purpose of each of these transactions was to allow the Company to issue shares to new shareholders without increasing the Company’s shares outstanding. Family Relationships The Company employs two of our CEO’s brothers, Dan and Liron Nusonivich, who are paid approximately $200,000 and $110,000 per year, respectively. There are no family relationships between any of other directors or executive officers and any other employees or directors or executive officers. The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the consolidated financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity evaluates events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its consolidated financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. Accordingly, the Company did not have any subsequent events that require disclosure other than the following: ● On June 30, 2022, RYVYL EU entered into a purchase agreement to acquire Roark Holdings, Ltd, a United Kingdom based licensed payment institution, in an all-cash transaction for 1,000,000 pounds, of which 685,000 pounds were paid to the seller and the remaining amount will be due at the change of control. Roark Holdings T/A Paysos.com is a respected UK payment institution which allows the licensor to process debit and credit card payments, in addition to local payments within the UK. The Company submitted a request for change of control with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) but chose to withdraw the change of control application due to unforeseen complication on the part of the Roark Holdings, Ltd in March 2023.

Accounting Policies, by Policy

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification, Comparability Adjustment [Policy Text Block]	Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company’s cash, cash equivalent and Restricted cash represents the following: ● Cash and cash equivalents ● Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,960,887 $ 89,045,202 Restricted cash 26,872,835 514,493 $ 40,833,722 $ 89,559,695
Receivable [Policy Text Block]	Cash Due from Gateways and Payment Processing Liabilities The Company’s primary source of revenues continues to be payment processing services for its merchant clients. When such merchant makes a sale, the process of receiving the payment card information, engaging the banks for transferring the proceeds to the merchant’s account via digital gateways, and recording the transaction on a blockchain ledger are the activities for which the Company gets to collect fees. In 2022 and 2021 the Company utilized several gateways. The gateways have strict guidelines pertaining to scheduling of the release of funds to merchants based on several criteria, such as return and chargeback history, associated risk for the specific business vertical, average transaction amount and so on. In order to mitigate processing risks, these policies determine reserve requirements and payment in arear strategy. While reserve and payment in arrears restrictions are in effect for a merchant payout, the Company records gateway debt against these amounts until released. Therefore, the total gateway balances reflected in the Company’s books represent the amount owed to the Company for processing – these are funds from transactions processed and not yet distributed.
Revenue [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to the Company’s customers or when the Company satisfies any performance obligations under contract. The amount of revenue reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the respective goods or services provided. Further, under Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASC 606”), contract assets or contract liabilities that arise from past performance but require a further performance before the obligation can be fully satisfied must be identified and recorded on the balance sheet until respective settlements have been met. The Company’s primary revenue source is generated from payment processing services. Payment processing services revenue is based on a percentage of each transaction’s value and/or upon fixed amounts specified per each transaction or service and is recognized as such transactions or services are performed, at a point in time.
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses from the inability of gateways to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated periodically based on the aging of accounts receivable, the operational relationship with gateways and their payment history, historical charge-off experience and other assumptions, such as current assessment of economic conditions.
Prepaid Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses primarily consist of $6.9 million in deposits made with credit card companies iunder Transact Europe and the prepayment associated with other acquisitions.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company assesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate the fair value for assets in Level 3. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets is the discount rate. The change in this input could result in a change of fair value measurement: The table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10: Fair Value at December 31, 2022 Customer Relationships $ 4,856,653 Business intellectual properties 1,881,962 Derivative Liability $ 254,979 Fair Value at December 31, 2021 Customer Relationship $ 5,820,195 Business Technology/IP 2,611,088 Derivative liability $ 18,735,000
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses in accordance with the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination determined to have an indefinite useful life are generally not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Other intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever management believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. To the extent that the carrying value is determined to be unrecoverable, an impairment loss is recognized through a charge to expense. As of December 31, 2022, other than a charge off of 100 percent of the consideration paid in connection with the contracted acquisition of the Sky Financial portfolio, the Company performed an impairment analysis on the other acquired goodwill and other long-lived assets and is of the view that their values are supportable and recoverable.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2021, we have no material unrecognized tax benefits.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Share A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Leases On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) including ASC Topic 840, Leases. For operating leases, we calculated right of use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Segment Reporting The Company has organized its operations into two segments: North America, and International. These segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations. During 2021, the Company operated in one reporting segment, since the International Segment was not introduced until 2022. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Management determined the operational data used by the chief operating decision maker is that of the two reportable segments. Management bases strategic goals and decisions on these segments and the data presented below is used to measure financial results. Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating income or (loss) as compared to prior periods and current performance levels.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Accounting Pronouncement Not Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, " Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers The FASB issued ASU 2020-06 (“Update”) to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating large sections of the existing guidance in this area. It also eliminates several triggers for derivative accounting, including a requirement to settle certain contracts by delivering registered shares. These changes are intended to make GAAP easier to apply and, therefore, reduce the frequency of errors in this part of the literature. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The standard, including subsequently issued amendments (ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11), requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis, such as accounts receivable and certain other financial assets, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 to postpone the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for public business entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
