Alchemy Pay Supports Nigeria Bank Transfer for Fiat-Crypto On-Ramp

Cointime Official

Alchemy Pay has announced that it now supports domestic bank transfer payments for crypto purchases in Nigeria. This enhancement enables seamless buying and selling of cryptocurrency for Nigerian users by treating transactions as domestic and allowing them to use the local Nigerian Naira currency.

As a leading payment provider, Alchemy Pay's fiat-crypto on-ramp plugin is widely used by major crypto exchanges such as OKX, as well as many wallets, DeFi, gaming, and NFT marketplaces.

With the new support for bank transfer payments, Nigerian users can now buy crypto directly with Nigerian Naira on crypto platforms, using popular local alternative payment methods in addition to Mastercard and Visa. Transactions can be made from a minimum of 11300 NGN, and users can enjoy access to crypto using bank transfers for many banks, including all major banks in Nigeria, with higher success rates at lower fees.

Alchemy Pay's simplification of the onboarding process is crucial for the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies, and the company's success in Nigeria is not the only one in emerging markets, as the gateway provider also supports highly popular regional payment methods in emerging markets such as Pix, SPEI, GCash, Dana, OVO, and PayNow.

  • Vitalik: PoW is also quite centralized. PoW is just a temporary phase before moving to PoS

  • If a Hong Kong spot virtual asset ETF is sold at a premium, it can be converted into Hong Kong dollars on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange

    Currently only a few Hong Kong brokers with virtual asset retail licenses can subscribe to the Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF through the new share subscription method (PD/distributor), and after the ETF officially enters the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, all hundreds of Hong Kong brokers and banks can purchase it. The approved virtual asset ETF adopts the performance of the ChiNext CF Bitcoin Index (Asia-Pacific closing price), so the profit and loss risks of cash subscription for Bitcoin ETF are basically the same as those of directly buying Bitcoin. As the exchange ratio between Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETF is fixed, if physical subscription is used in the IOP stage, that is, Bitcoin is used to subscribe to Bitcoin ETF, the relevant ETF can be exchanged for Hong Kong dollars in the exchange if it is sold at a premium after listing, and then buy back Bitcoin at the same time to earn the price difference between on-exchange and off-exchange.
