    MoneyGram Ramps Is Live on Solana: Cash Access Depends on Country, Fees, and Integrations

    Published September 13, 2026

    MoneyGram launched Ramps on Solana on August 11, 2026. Cash-in and cash-out use USDC, but country coverage, fees, and wallet support remain limited.

    MoneyGram launched its Ramps service on Solana on August 11, 2026. The Solana Foundation newsroom announced that developers now access MoneyGram fiat on-ramps (cash to crypto) and off-ramps (crypto to cash) through one API. Rift became the first Solana wallet named as integrating it.

    This ties into the Solana Developer Platform payments module. MoneyGram's PR Newswire release from Dallas confirmed the launch. It matches claims of cash deposits in over 25 countries and withdrawals in over 170 countries and territories.

    Why this matters

    USDC is a dollar-denominated stablecoin. MoneyGram Ramps on Solana is a path between USDC and cash at participating physical locations. Developers can build it into apps or wallets. Everyday users get that option only where a partner integrates the API and local rules allow the transfer.

    The Solana Foundation listed remittances, payroll, and aid distribution as example uses for builders. Those are product ideas, not confirmed live services in named countries. Real access still hinges on who adds the API and which locations support cash-in, cash-out, or both.

    What was announced

    The Solana Foundation stated MoneyGram Ramps is live. It gives builders fiat infrastructure via a single API. The service embeds in the Solana Developer Platform.

    MoneyGram's Solana product page repeats this. It handles compliance and settlement. Partners register at this site.

    Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, said developers would be able to more easily build financial applications with real-world utility at global scale. Anthony Soohoo, Chairman and CEO of MoneyGram, said bringing Ramps to Solana is another step toward an open, global payments network. The 25-country deposit and 170-country withdrawal figures come from the Foundation article and MoneyGram's press release, not from those quotes.

    How cash-in and cash-out work

    MoneyGram developer docs outline USDC cash-in and cash-out at locations. The web integration guide, version 1.0 from May 2026, details Solana steps.

    For cash-out: Users send USDC on Solana to the widget. It handles KYC and quoting. A MoneyGram reference number is issued for cash pickup. Use the mainnet SPL USDC mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. Token-2022 USDC does not work.

    For cash-in: Users pick a MoneyGram spot, deposit cash, and USDC lands in their Solana wallet. Partners need credentials and a MoneyGram-allowlisted domain. They run a server-side session that expires in one hour.

    Confirmed limits

    • Cash deposits cover over 25 countries. Withdrawals are listed at over 170 countries and territories, per the Solana Foundation and MoneyGram PR.
    • Rift is the first named wallet integration. Other apps still have to add the API.
    • USDC on Solana only. Specific mint required.
    • Widget manages KYC. Partners handle sessions.
    • MoneyGram acts as infrastructure partner and validator separately.

    What remains unknown

    No public fee schedule exists. Fees show in per-transaction quotes inside the widget. Solana network fees apply on top. Specific deposit countries stay unlisted beyond the 25 figure. Not every MoneyGram site supports both directions.

    Transaction limits, wait times, and full eligibility rules hide in partner terms. Sandbox locations in docs serve testing only.

    What to watch next

    More wallets or exchanges might integrate. Check Rift for live tests. Watch partner registrations. Updates could clarify fees or expand deposit countries. Builder adoption will show real USDC cash out via MoneyGram on Solana.
