Alchemy Pay announced on April 3 its integration of Hedera (HBAR) and USD Coin (USDC), enabling seamless crypto purchases via credit cards, bank transfers, and local payment methods. The move significantly enhances the fiat-to-crypto experience on the Hedera network, advancing accessibility for users worldwide.
This integration follows Alchemy Pay’s rapid expansion in the crypto payments sector. The company recently launched its own blockchain and added on and off-ramping support for the Movement token and the Ledger Live platform. Alchemy Pay’s growing ecosystem is backed by partnerships with top-tier financial players, including Visa, Mastercard, Nuvei, and Apple Pay.
The addition of HBAR and USDC to Alchemy Pay’s platform stems from its partnership with the HBAR Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering Web3 innovation on the Hedera blockchain. As core assets within the Hedera ecosystem, both HBAR and USDC stand to benefit from the expanded fiat-crypto ramping capabilities.
The initiative arrives at a pivotal time for Hedera, which is carving out a strong presence in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, artificial intelligence (AI), and decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. Alchemy Pay’s seamless payment infrastructure is poised to accelerate adoption within these high-growth sectors.
