Peanut launches the first self-custodial offramp, allowing users to cash out any token on 20+ EVM chains directly to their bank accounts without relying on centralized exchanges. This beta feature is being rolled out in the EU and US first.
This new beta feature creates an essential bridge between crypto and fiat. Users can cash out funds from any token on 20+ EVM chains directly in US Dollars or Euros to their bank account. This works by creating a bridge between blockchains and fiat payments networks like IBAN, BIC, or SWIFT.
Peanut’s key feature is texting funds using QR codes or messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, email, etc. With the self-custodial offramp, recipients can now transfer their funds directly to their bank account without needing a wallet. This breakthrough in crypto accessibility makes transferring money across platforms frictionless and user-friendly. In addition to texting funds without worrying whether the recipient uses crypto or fiat, users of self-custodial wallets can now directly offramp into their bank account without using a CEX.
“Texting money is now possible,” said Hugo Montenegro, co-founder of Peanut and a Harvard graduate. “This is a major step toward simplifying crypto for everyday use, meaning you can send stablecoins through channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, Email, etc.”
For the beta launch of this new feature, Peanut Protocol will give each user the first five transactions for free. Afterwards, a small fee will apply. The minimum cashout amount is $10.
