New currency - Radiance - will it allow exchange from other currencies?

Hello!
A simple question:
Radiance - Will it allow exchanges from other currencies?
For instance, I have a lot of battle chips: can I exchange them for radiance?
The same for loyalty or mysterium or glory.
Will we be able to access that one perfect store by exchanging old currencies for radiance?
Thank you

Radiance could sit alongside existing currencies; with shuffling of particular resources from one store to another.
- This would be rather pointless, and clearly isn't what's intended.
Radiance could be introduced, and all other currencies could cease to be traded immediately. Trading currencies into Radiance would have to be possible to prevent uproar, but would still need to be limited in scope, as @Pikolu suggests.
- Probably a pretty unpopular option that would disturb the game economy a bit too abruptly, and cause a lot of unhappiness.
Radiance could be introduced, replacing some/all other currencies as a reward, but with stores for those currencies remaining open for a limited time (say, the length of a Saga...). Trading could be allowed, or it might not be. If it is permitted, conversion to Radiance may be limited in scope, possibly with worsening exchange rates as the store deadline approaches, or using the same cost-escalation mechanic as the Glory store.
- Potentially workable; and if the timelines aren't too short, would mitigate the impact on boarders without giving them access to unlimited Radiance.
This is part of the problem they've had in the past - like introducing Mysterium and then having it completely stagnate immediately.
I'm pretty sure the main idea is that 1 store is a whole lot easier to update and keep current than 4 stores.
Because the store is premium, it means there will be less access to lower level catalysts and materials for some players in AW and AQ because currently those ranked rewards include a bunch of lower level stuff. So we will likely allow the conversion of Radiance into a lower currency.
If the Radiance project goes well, and players like it, we are talking about combining a bunch of the other currencies into one as well, but we will see how Radiance goes first.
I’m sorry but that really disappoints me. The game is bloated and part of the reason you are struggling to maintain the stores is because you have too many currencies. I was really hoping that radiance was going to be the step in eliminating currencies and allow you guys to actually manage your game. But no, it is just another currency like mysterium that will look good to great when it launches and out of date in six months with no plans to make changes.
