Falcon Finance has linked its synthetic dollar stablecoin USDf to regulated banking infrastructure. USDf users can now convert on-chain holdings into traditional currencies and access standard payment services.
Under a new integration involving payments platform Altery and crypto-fiat conversion provider Synterra Connect, USDf token holders can now route their balances into regulated accounts and settle transactions through conventional banking rails.
The arrangement enables users to transfer USDf to a designated Synterra address for conversion, after which corresponding fiat balances are credited to their Altery accounts.
From those accounts, users can make payments via SEPA and SWIFT networks, conduct local transfers, and access card-based products. At launch, the system supports sterling, euros, and U.S. dollars, with the option to send funds directly to bank cards.
The development reflects growing demand among crypto-native businesses and trading firms for infrastructure that links decentralised finance activity with real-world financial obligations. Many firms have struggled to manage payroll, supplier payments, and operating expenses while maintaining on-chain treasury positions that generate yield.
Falcon’s USDf is an overcollateralized synthetic dollar designed to maintain parity with the U.S. currency through crypto-backed reserves rather than direct fiat deposits. Through the new arrangement, companies can hold USDf in Falcon’s yield-generating sUSDf vaults while retaining the ability to access fiat liquidity when required.
“Trading desks and crypto treasuries have been asking for a way to earn yield on-chain while still being able to pay suppliers in euros or pounds,” said Artem Tolkachev, Falcon’s chief real-world assets officer, in a statement shared with AlexaBlockchain.
The structure separates token issuance from regulated financial services. Altery Ltd is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as an electronic money institution and operates under safeguarding rules for client funds. Synterra Connect, part of Synterra Innovations, is registered in Canada as a money services business with FINTRAC and provides the crypto-to-fiat conversion layer.
Falcon Finance and the USDf token remain outside these regulatory frameworks, with on-chain issuance and yield mechanisms operating independently from Altery’s regulated environment. Converted funds held with Altery can be moved through domestic and international banking systems or used for card payments.
The integration offers a practical example of how stablecoin-linked assets can interface with regulated payment networks at a time when policymakers in Europe and the UK are developing dedicated frameworks for digital money and crypto-backed instruments.
Industry participants have increasingly focused on such “on-off ramp” infrastructure as institutional and corporate adoption of blockchain-based treasury tools expands. While stablecoins backed by cash and government securities dominate transaction volumes, synthetic and overcollateralized models have sought wider acceptance by improving access to fiat settlement.
Falcon, Altery, and Synterra said the partnership represents an initial phase of a broader collaboration. They are working on additional payment-linked and card-based features for selected jurisdictions.
Falcon Finance is backed by leading crypto VCs. It has raised $24 million in total funding. According to cryptorank funding data, the project’s total raise comprises roughly $20 million from strategic funding rounds and $4 million from a public token sale.
The latest investment came on July 30, 2025, when Falcon secured $10 million from World Liberty Financial. A second $10 million strategic funding round, announced in October 2025, was led by M2 Capital alongside participation from Cypher Capital.
In addition to these institutional rounds, Falcon conducted a $4 million public offering via a Buidlpad token sale for its native $FF token.
