Peanut launches a beta of the first self-custodial offramp, allowing users to directly cash out any token on 20+ EVM chains to their bank accountsâwithout relying on centralized exchanges. This beta feature is being rolled out in the EU and US first.
This new beta feature creates an important bridge between crypto and fiat. Users can cash out funds from any token on 20+ EVM chains directly in US Dollars or Euros to their bank account, skipping the need for CEXes or other custodied solutions. This works by creating a bridge between the blockchains and fiat payments networks like IBAN, BIC, or SWIFT.Â
Peanutâs key feature is texting funds using QR codes or messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, email etc. With the self-custodial offramp, recipients can now transfer their funds directly to their bank account without the need to have a wallet themselves. This breakthrough in crypto accessibility makes transferring money across platforms frictionless and user-friendly. In addition to texting funds without worrying whether the recipient uses crypto or fiat, users of self-custodial wallets can now directly offramp into their bank account without using a CEX.Â
âTexting money is now possible,â said Hugo Montenegro, co-founder of Peanut and a Harvard graduate. âThis is a major step toward simplifying crypto for everyday use, meaning you can send stablecoins through channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, Email etc. We use this to pay freelancers all the time.â
For the beta launch of this new feature, a discounted fee of $1 + 0.25% applies. The minimum cashout amount is $10.
