December 19, 2024 – London, United Kingdom

Harbour , in partnership with Velocity Labs , announces the launch of their stablecoin payment system, ‘Magic Ramp,’ connecting SEPA instant payment rails with Polkadot.

This collaboration seamlessly integrates TradFi (traditional finance) banking systems into Web 3.0, providing efficient, low-cost payment solutions.

Magic Ramp allows Euros to be sent from any bank account and received as USDC on-chain in less than 30 seconds with minimal fees while funds held in Web 3.0 wallets can be received as Euros in bank accounts with the same speed.

For the first six weeks following the launch, these bank-to-on-chain transactions will be available at no cost.

Through this partnership, developers can now issue virtual IBANs that are linked to Polkadot wallet addresses and bridge SEPA instant payment rails in Europe with the Polkadot asset hub.

James Brownlee, CEO of Harbour, said,

“Polkadot’s infrastructure enables instant, low-cost stablecoin transfers, which aligns with our goal of making blockchain interoperable with traditional banking.

“This partnership expands the design space for developers working on stablecoin-based solutions.”

Potential use cases include efficient on- and off-ramps for Web 3.0 users, stablecoin payment gateways for merchants who prefer receiving Euros, international payroll, bill payments and cross-border remittances.

Nicolas Arevalo, CEO of Velocity Labs, said,

“Among all the on-ramp providers we’ve worked with, Harbour stood out by blending the convenience of on-ramps with the speed and cost of CEX (centralized exchange) on-ramping.

“This will allow stablecoins in Polkadot to become seamlessly accessible with negligible fees.”

Harbour’s Magic Ramp makes it simple for traditional banking entities to integrate with Web 3.0 in a way that addresses practical challenges in payments to meet evolving market needs.
