Ramp Network expands crypto purchases to all U.S. states

Ramp Network, a U.K.-based crypto payments infrastructure provider, has expanded its services to all 50 U.S. states.

The fintech startup announced the expansion of its payment rails to 17 more U.S. states, bringing Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets to millions of users. This expansion means Ramp now supports 33 states as well as the District of Columbia, in addition to the newly added states.

Ramp shared the milestone via a press release shared with crypto.news on Sept. 10.

Bringing crypto to over 100 million Americans

Ramp’s expansion includes offering services across some of the more challenging markets, including New York. It also opens the platform to new users and partnerships, according to Ramp Network CEO and co-founder Szymon Sypniewicz.

Notably, a growing number of Americans are increasingly buying crypto, with a recent report by Coinbase showing about 58% of the population are aware of Bitcoin. While over 50 million people in the U.S. say they hold crypto, this number could surge with onboarding initiatives such as Ramp Network’s.

This expansion allows us to serve all Americans but also enables hundreds of our partners to onboard over 100 million people in the now accessible states. We’re thrilled to offer nationwide access and look forward to welcoming new users to our platform.

Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum and other top token

According to Ramp Network, the nationwide expansion will allow users to buy and sell over 100 cryptocurrencies, with supported payment methods including bank transfers, credit/debit cards, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. The platform also supports major crypto wallets such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Exodus.

Users will be able to buy and sell all the top cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).

Ramp Network also supports leading stablecoins Tether (USDT) and USDC (USDC).

While the platform lists over 100 crypto assets, it notes that listed tokens and supported tokens may vary from state to state due to regulatory requirements.
