Bridging converts between fiat and stablecoins. On-ramp brings value onto the blockchain; off-ramp brings it back to traditional finance. Both leverage Thiqwave’s network of regulated partners and quote-driven pricing.

​
On-ramp (Fiat → Stablecoin)

A customer deposits fiat and receives stablecoins on a blockchain of your choice. Flow: 
Fiat Deposit → Thiqwave Settlement → Stablecoin Delivered to Wallet
Use on-ramping to:
  • Fund dapps and protocols directly
  • Enable customers to own crypto without exchange accounts
  • Settle payments across blockchain networks
  • Provide fast blockchain funding to your users
Supported Fiat Currencies:
  • AED (UAE Dirham)
  • SAR (Saudi Riyal)
  • USD (US Dollar)
  • EUR (Euro)
  • GBP (British Pound)
Supported Stablecoins:
  • USDT (multi-chain)
  • USDC (multi-chain)
  • Local non-USD stablecoins (corridor-dependent)

​
Off-ramp (Stablecoin → Fiat)

A customer sends stablecoins from any blockchain and receives fiat in a bank account. Flow: 
Stablecoin on Blockchain → Thiqwave Settlement → Fiat Bank Deposit
Use off-ramping to:
  • Enable crypto-native customers to cash out
  • Settle stablecoin transactions to traditional accounts
  • Provide exit liquidity without centralized exchanges
  • Comply with MENA financial regulations
Supported currencies and methods depend on your settlement corridor.
