web3: MoneyGram Integrates Ramps with Solana, Rift First to Implement

CoinWorld reports:

MoneyGram is integrating its fiat-to-crypto conversion tool, Ramps, with Solana. This means that Solana wallets, trading platforms, and fintech applications can connect to MoneyGram's global agent network through a single API, providing cash-to-on-chain wallet conversion services in more countries and regions.

Coverage in Over 170 Countries and Regions

This service was first launched on Stellar in May 2025 and is now expanding to Solana. According to MoneyGram, Ramps supports cash deposits in over 25 countries and cash withdrawals in more than 170 countries and regions, allowing developers to avoid building their own banking infrastructure.

For the Solana ecosystem, this integration fills a gap for real-world entry points beyond on-chain payments. Users can enter on-chain wallets from offline cash points and withdraw cash from wallets to offline channels, reducing reliance on traditional bank accounts.

Rift Becomes the First Integrator

The AI-driven trading platform and wallet, Rift, has been identified as the first service provider to integrate MoneyGram's new API. The article states that Rift has received support from institutions such as a16z and Sequoia Capital. The launch of the first integrator marks the transition of this interface from infrastructure release to practical application.

MoneyGram also stated that Ramps has been incorporated into the payment module of the Solana Developer Platform. Developers can directly access the sandbox environment and API credentials without going through a separate integration process.

Solana Continues to Bet on Payment Scenarios

Over the past two years, Solana has been continuously strengthening its positioning in stablecoin settlement and on-chain payments. The article mentions that USDC currently dominates the stablecoin supply on Solana, and payment collaborations have become a frequent activity in this ecosystem in recent years.

The article cites Solana data indicating that the network's daily transaction volume remains stable at around $12 billion, with over 558,000 active addresses. MoneyGram's expansion continues the collaboration between the two parties. Earlier this June, MoneyGram launched its own Solana validator node.

From an industry perspective, traditional payment companies are increasingly integrating stablecoin networks into their existing clearing systems. MoneyGram bringing Ramps to Solana shows that it views this public chain as an important infrastructure for global payments and stablecoin circulation.
