MoneyGram Ramps Goes Live On Solana With Single API For Cash-To-Crypto And Crypto-To-Cash

MoneyGram Ramps is now live on Solana, with Solana announcing that the service gives builders a single API for compliant cash-to-crypto and crypto-to-cash transactions.

The launch was dated Aug. 11, 2026, and Solana’s post said it would put “60M+ customers, nearly 500,000 retail locations, 170+ countries” within reach of Solana builders.

MoneyGram’s PR Newswire release described Ramps as “a simple API that enables fast, compliant cash-to-crypto and crypto-to-cash integration through a single implementation.”

PR Newswire also said developers can connect users to MoneyGram’s global network without building their own banking infrastructure, using “Instant API credentials and sandbox access” and documentation and SDKs.

MoneyGram Ramps is described as enabling cash deposits in more than 25 countries and cash withdrawals in more than 170 countries and territories, extending access to crypto-to-cash and cash-to-crypto services across Solana.

CoinDesk said the service lets users convert between cash and digital assets, and it also supports cash deposits in more than 25 countries and withdrawals across more than 170 countries and territories.

The PR Newswire release said Rift is the first wallet on Solana to integrate Ramps, giving its users “seamless access to move between crypto and local currency through MoneyGram's trusted global network.”

Crypto Briefing added that users can deposit cash to receive supported digital assets such as USDC, or convert crypto into local currency for collection at participating MoneyGram locations.

MoneyGram framed the Solana expansion as part of building an open, interoperable payments network, with Anthony Soohoo, Chairman and CEO of MoneyGram, saying, “The future of payments is built on access.”

Solana Foundation President Lily Liu said, “By connecting our ecosystem to MoneyGram's global payments network through MoneyGram Ramps, developers are able to more easily build financial applications with real-world utility at global scale.”

The PR Newswire release also said MoneyGram Ramps is embedded in Solana Developer Platform's payments module, and it listed that the launch gives wallets, exchanges and developers direct access to trusted fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure.

In CoinDesk’s account, the move deepens MoneyGram’s push into stablecoin-based payments and remittances by building on its earlier USDC cash-on/off-ramp with Stellar and the launch of its own dollar-backed stablecoin, MGUSD.
