On-Ramp
A service that converts fiat money into cryptocurrency, letting you enter the crypto economy.
Last updated:
An on-ramp is any service that turns traditional money into crypto — for example buying USDT with a bank transfer or card. It is how most people first acquire the stablecoins used to fund a card.
Off-ramps do the reverse, converting crypto back into fiat. A crypto card acts like a built-in off-ramp because it spends crypto as fiat at checkout.
