Alchemy Pay has integrated fiat on-ramp support for HBAR and USDC on Hedera.
-
The partnership aims to boost adoption of the Hedera network by offering compliant, accessible entry points for both retail and institutional users.
Alchemy Pay has expanded its fiat-to-crypto infrastructure through a partnership with the HBAR Foundation, finally allowing users to purchase Hedera’s native assets, HBAR and USDC, using traditional payment methods.
The integration allows consumers worldwide to purchase HBAR and USDC through Alchemy Pay’s on-ramp platform using major fiat channels such as credit cards, bank transfers, and localized alternatives.
The partnership is designed to ease user access to the Hedera network, which supports sectors like tokenized real-world assets (RWA), artificial intelligence (AI), and decentralized finance (DeFi).
As of 2025, Alchemy Pay processes more than 50 fiat currencies across 173 nations, and its ramp service is now a key driver of onboarding users to Web3 networks. Its recent partnership with Hedera also shows the increasing need for simple-to-use, regulated on-ramps to blockchain ecosystems.
Regulatory Compliance and Ecosystem Growth
Apart from fundamental access, regulatory clarity and compliance have been cornerstones of this integration. Alchemy Pay is licensed and regulated across several countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, South Korea, Indonesia, Australia, and parts of Europe.
The company says this regulatory positioning allows it to offer compliant access to crypto assets in most major jurisdictions, a critical factor for ecosystem partners like Hedera.
Governed by a decentralized council comprising global enterprises, Hedera offers a high-throughput, low-energy distributed ledger model. According to both partners, the integration is expected to increase liquidity and use for HBAR and USDC, while also lowering entry costs for developers and users building on or interacting with Hedera.
The partnership supports Alchemy Pay’s ongoing plan to connect traditional finance with digital assets, especially as demand increases for accessible infrastructure supporting tokenized assets, payments, and other blockchain use cases.
