Privy Launches Global Fiat Onramps With Stripe in US, EU

Privy, the crypto wallet infrastructure provider Stripe acquired in 2025, launched global fiat onramps that let developers add card-based crypto purchases to their apps in a single integration, the company said in a post on its official X account Tuesday.

In the US and EU, Stripe's own Crypto Onramp product handles payment processing, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and ACH transactions, identity verification and compliance, according to Privy's announcement. Outside those two regions, Privy's own aggregator routes users through "the best available provider" across more than 100 additional countries, with funds landing in the same destination wallet regardless of which rail processed the purchase.

Stripe corroborated the integration on its own account, saying Privy uses Stripe Crypto Onramp "to handle payments, KYC, and compliance in the US and EU, letting your users go from signup to funded wallet without leaving your app." Stripe's Crypto Onramp product uses its Link network for what Privy described as minimal identity verification, rather than requiring a separate KYC flow inside the host app.

Building On the Acquisition

The launch is the first major product rollout to surface publicly since Stripe acquired Privy last year, folding the wallet-as-a-service provider into its payments stack. Privy CEO Henri Stern had previously described wallets as a path toward treating crypto accounts like global financial accounts in an interview with The Defiant in January.

The onramp gives app developers built on Privy a single API to onboard users from card payment to a funded wallet across most of the world, rather than integrating separate regional payment providers.
