Singapore-based crypto payments platform Alchemy Pay has announced the integration of Hedera’s native token (HBAR) and USDC into its fiat on-ramp solution. The move is designed to make it easier for users to buy the two digital assets using traditional payment methods like credit cards, bank transfers, and local payment options.
The integration was officially unveiled on April 3, following Alchemy Pay’s partnership with the HBAR Foundation, which supports Web3 projects building on the Hedera network.
Seamless Access to HBAR and USDC
The new offering allows users to purchase HBAR and USDC directly on the Hedera blockchain, marking a significant step toward increasing accessibility and utility for both assets. The solution supports payments via Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Nuvei, among other global financial networks.
Alchemy Pay’s integration is expected to accelerate Hedera’s growth in several key areas, including real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)—sectors where Hedera is actively expanding.
“By simplifying fiat-to-crypto access, we’re enhancing the Hedera ecosystem and expanding the real-world use of HBAR and USDC,” Alchemy Pay stated.
Strengthening Hedera’s Ecosystem
The integration comes as Hedera continues to make strategic advancements across its blockchain infrastructure. Recent updates, including HIP-755 and HIP-756, introduce native scheduled transactions for smart contracts, enabling multi-party coordination and advanced decentralized application (dApp) functionality.
These improvements are expected to drive further innovation in Hedera’s ecosystem, particularly in enterprise and developer-focused applications.
In addition, Hedera recently announced that HBAR is now available via Wallet in Telegram, enabling the app’s 1 billion monthly active users to buy, sell, and store HBAR through a non-custodial wallet, further enhancing the token’s global reach.
Alchemy Pay’s Continued Expansion
Alchemy Pay has been on a rapid growth trajectory, recently launching its own blockchain and expanding its on- and off-ramping services to platforms like Ledger Live and Movement. The company’s strategic partnerships with global payment leaders have solidified its reputation as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto.
By integrating with Hedera, Alchemy Pay is tapping into one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems, one with increasing traction in regulated token offerings, AI-driven applications, and enterprise-level blockchain adoption.
The Alchemy Pay and Hedera integration signals a pivotal moment for both companies. As Web3 adoption accelerates globally, frictionless access to digital assets like HBAR and USDC will be key to mainstream adoption. This move not only expands Hedera’s usability but also reinforces Alchemy Pay’s position as a leader in the fiat-to-crypto infrastructure space.
