Trust Wallet and Mercuryo have partnered to power crypto off-ramps for more than 30 digital assets.
While cryptocurrencies allow participants to store value in virtual assets built atop decentralized networks, many real-world payments still require fiat vehicles for settlement in many countries and jurisdictions.
Giant self-custody provider Trust Wallet and payments infrastructure firm Mercuryo have teamed up to enable users to turn their digital coins into real-world money, a process dubbed “off-ramping.” Commenting on the collaboration, Mercuryo co-founder and CEO Petr Kozyakov said, “having access to a seamless off-ramp service” is just as important as securely storing digital assets.
