Crypto app Hana has integrated with MoneyGram Ramps to provide its users with instant stablecoin-to-cash withdrawals across Southeast Asia.
MoneyGram Ramps provides a developer-friendly API/SDK toolset enabling on- and off-ramps between physical cash and digital assets. It enables USDC deposits and withdrawals on the Stellar blockchain, with off-ramps available in 174 countries.
By connecting to the MoneyGram network, Hana users can now withdraw USDC on Stellar, a fully reserved, USD-backed stablecoin, and pick up cash at any participating MoneyGram location. It’s a direct bridge between global digital dollars and local economies: safe, simple, and designed for real people.
“This partnership aligns the speed of blockchain with the practical use case of cash,” said Mark Jones, Founder of Hana. “Now, anyone in Southeast Asia can receive USDC, store it safely in the Hana app, and withdraw it in local currency within minutes. This is what real financial access looks like.”
From Digital Dollars to Real-World Access
Remittance flows to Southeast Asia are projected to reach nearly US $100 billion in 2025, growing at more than 8 percent annually. Millions of people across the region rely on cross-border payments for income and family support. Yet, most daily transactions still rely on cash, leaving many without easy access to digital financial tools.
By integrating MoneyGram’s cash network, the Stellar network’s fast and low-cost settlement layer, Hana’s simple, all-in-one crypto wallet, this partnership makes stablecoins usable in daily life for freelancers, families, and small businesses in Southeast Asia.
“MoneyGram has always focused on connecting people to the global economy,” said Carsten Bender, Director Web3 Growth & GTM at MoneyGram. “By connecting Hana to our global cash off-ramp for digital assets, we’re expanding access to stable, digital dollars through trusted local networks, making it easier to get cash into user hands in minutes.”
For users, the integration offers:
- A fast, trusted way to turn crypto into cash, no banks or exchanges required.
- Instant access to stable value that can be held, sent, or withdrawn as needed.
- A simple cash off-ramp for freelancers and remittance receivers.
“Partnerships like this prove what open networks were built for. Being able to easily turn crypto into cash enables the accessibility needed to change crypto from just an idea to an everyday utility.” said Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation. “Together, Hana and MoneyGram are unlocking financial access at scale.”
Making Crypto Work Like Money
To use the service, users simply open the Hana Wallet app, select the ‘Withdraw USDC’ option, and choose a nearby participating MoneyGram location for cash pickup. The process requires no exchange accounts, involves no waiting periods, and includes no hidden fees.
“Hana was created to make crypto feel like money for everyday people,” said Mark Jones, Founder of Hana. “With our MoneyGram Ramps integration, anyone in Southeast Asia can now turn digital dollars into cash, hold it safely, and actually use it. That’s financial freedom in practice.”
Following the launch in Southeast Asia, Hana plans to expand stablecoin-to-cash access via MoneyGram Ramps to additional key markets, tapping into MoneyGram’s network across 180+ countries.
