Ramp unveiled a new corporate payment product Thursday that lets companies hold and transfer USDC and USDT directly on its platform, using the Solana blockchain for faster settlement outside banking hours. The Stablecoin Accounts eliminate the need for separate crypto wallets or exchange accounts, Ramp said.
The accounts run alongside conventional cash reserves through a single interface. Finance teams can oversee both fiat and stablecoin transfers without changing existing workflows, the company said. The system logs each transaction into integrated accounting software with standard compliance documentation.
More than 150 organizations tested the accounts during a public beta phase spanning multiple industries, including companies outside the crypto sector, Ramp said. Over 1,000 organizations now use stablecoins through Ramp to pay suppliers internationally, and more than 70% of that transaction volume occurs outside standard banking hours, the company added.
Businesses can send USDC or USDT to suppliers and contractors in more than 140 countries, and convert stablecoin payments into local currency in over 40 markets, Ramp said. The platform also lets companies pay suppliers in stablecoins without holding digital assets – it converts funds from a connected U.S. dollar account into USDC or USDT before completing the transaction.
Ramp built the payment infrastructure using technology from Stripe via Bridge and Privy. The platform supports stablecoin deposits across seven blockchain protocols, with Solana among them. Solana's faster processing and lower fees allow international settlements that bypass conventional banking hours, Ramp said.
Organizations can earn up to 3.25% on qualifying stablecoin balances held in the accounts, Ramp said. The company characterized the holdings as digital dollar equivalents backed by cash reserves for transaction processing and treasury operations, framing the accounts as payment tools rather than investment vehicles.
