MoneyGram brings cash-to-crypto ramps to Solana

Rift has become the first Solana wallet to integrate Ramps, enabling users to move between crypto and local currency through MoneyGram's network.

MoneyGram is bringing its MoneyGram Ramps service to Solana, giving wallets, exchanges and developers on the network access to the company’s global cash infrastructure.

Rift is the first Solana wallet to integrate Ramps. MoneyGram said the Solana launch will make it easier for developers to embed fiat connectivity into their products while expanding the real-world utility of stablecoins across blockchain ecosystems.

MoneyGram’s fiat-crypto infrastructure service gives wallets, exchanges and fintech apps access to its cash-in and cash-out network through an API. Users can deposit cash to receive supported digital assets such as USDC, or convert crypto into local currency for collection at participating MoneyGram locations and, in some markets, through bank accounts, mobile wallets or debit cards.

First launched on Stellar, Ramps has expanded to Solana. The service supports cash deposits across more than 25 countries and withdrawals in more than 170 countries and territories.

The launch follows MoneyGram’s entry into the Solana ecosystem as an active validator, deepening its commitment to blockchain infrastructure after more than five years of integrating crypto and stablecoins into its global payments platform.

The company is also joining the Solana Developer Platform as an early institutional adopter alongside Mastercard, helping build and scale compliant financial products on Solana.
