Alchemy Pay 2022: A Year in Review
We realise that 2022 was a tough year for many cryptocurrency enthusiasts but nevertheless it was a year of significant development at Alchemy Pay. As a fiat-crypto payment gateway that has been serving businesses since 2019, we took the decision to utilise our payment network to provide direct-to-customer solutions.
It was a year filled with service launches, integrations, and events, and it ended with the announcement of our new roadmap. A heartfelt appreciation for our ACH community — let’s build a great 2023 together!
On-Ramp, Off-Ramp, and NFT Checkout Launched
In late June 2022, we launched our fiat-crypto on-ramp, available via plugin or API. Further capabilities such as an off-ramp (currently we offer payouts to bank accounts around the world in 29 currencies), and an NFT Checkout have since been added to our suite of payment services.
