Alchemy Pay, a leading global fiat-crypto payment gateway, has integrated Apertum’s Wrapped USDC (wUSDC) into its fiat-crypto ramp, enabling users across 173 countries to seamlessly buy and sell wUSDC using fiat currencies. The integration provides a more accessible gateway for users seeking to enter the Apertum ecosystem and access its on-chain stablecoin liquidity.
Through Alchemy Pay’s fiat-crypto ramp, users can now access wUSDC directly through familiar payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, local bank transfers, and mobile wallets. With support for more than 50 fiat currencies, the integration lowers the barriers for both individual and institutional users looking to acquire stablecoin liquidity and participate in Apertum’s growing on-chain ecosystem.
Apertum’s Wrapped USDC is a wrapped version of USDC designed for use across the Apertum on-chain ecosystem. Serving as a stablecoin liquidity layer, wUSDC connects key Apertum products including Apertum DEX, Apertum Bridge, and APTM DAO. Users can utilize wUSDC for trading and liquidity provision on the DEX, move liquidity across supported networks through the Bridge, and participate in decentralized initiatives and financial mechanisms across the APTM DAO ecosystem.
The integration strengthens the connection between traditional payment rails and Apertum’s on-chain financial infrastructure. Stablecoins increasingly serve as a bridge between fiat economies and blockchain-based applications, while convenient fiat access remains essential for bringing users and capital into those ecosystems. By making wUSDC easier to acquire and exit through local payment methods, Alchemy Pay helps Apertum extend its stablecoin utility to a broader global user base.
