Meet us at the Africa Fintech Summit in Washington, DC where we’ll be discussing how stablecoins are being used in everyday systems across Africa, solving for payments, FX, and liquidity, positioning Africa as a leading market for real world stablecoin adoption.
We just unlocked one of our most anticipated features: Fiat Offramps (Withdraw Fiat).
Stablecoins → Local bank accounts and mobile money.
Our new Withdraw Fiat API lets fintechs convert stablecoins to fiat and send directly to users’ bank accounts, while everything happens programmatically in the background.
This is built for fintech teams that want to deliver fast, familiar payouts onchain without changing how their product feels to end users.

We’re getting closer to a world where moving money onchain feels no different than moving money through traditional payment rails. And that only happens when the payment infrastructure is designed around how fintechs already operate.
Arc by Circle is a meaningful step in that direction, and I’m excited about what this unlocks for the fintechs we work with every day.
Our leadership team, Abdulfatai (@iamnotstatic ) and Morgan, will be at Japan Fintech Week and GFTN Forum next week.
On 25 February, Morgan will be speaking at GFTN on “Stablecoins and Tokenised Assets in Practice – Global Infrastructure, Regulation, and Real-World Adoption”, joining leaders across issuers, exchanges, banks, universities, and investors at a roundtable to discuss how stablecoins and tokenised assets are entering mainstream financial markets.
If you’re in Tokyo, we’d love to connect.
Local deposits.
Stablecoin settlement.
Onchain in seconds.
One API.
Virtual Accounts are live on Blockradar, letting fintechs accept local deposits through workflows they already know, while stablecoin settlement and reconciliation happen automatically in the background.
This is designed for fintech teams that want to move money onchain without changing how their product feels to end users.
NGN virtual accounts are available now. Docs → https://docs.blockradar.co/en/essentials/virtual-accounts
As the year comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on how Blockradar was built this year.
2025 started with a simple focus: building stablecoin infrastructure that fintechs everywhere can rely on. Most of the early work happened quietly, building, fixing, and listening closely to the teams using us.
As adoption grew, so did the surface area of what we needed to support. We expanded the platform to give our customers more flexibility and control: shipping swap & bridge, checkout infrastructure, Gateway, virtual accounts, and more. All designed to work together without adding complexity.
We’re grateful to the customers who trusted us early and allowed us to grow alongside them. Because of that trust, $300M + in transaction volume moved through Blockradar in less than 9 months, powering real world stablecoin transactions.
We’re also thankful for our ecosystem partners, like Circle, Arc, Lisk, Base, Plasma, Tempo, cNGN, IDRX, and ZARP, and more who share our belief that stablecoins are becoming core financial infrastructure.
Looking back, 2025 feels less like a launch year and more like a foundation year.
It’s still early. It’s still day zero.
2026 will be about building on that foundation with full acceleration.
Now live on Blockradar is ZARP 🇿🇦. The South African rand-backed stablecoin.
Fintechs can now issue non-custodial wallets, send, and settle in ZARP through our API. ZARP can be swapped with supported stablecoins like USDC, USDT or even cNGN and used across supported chains, making it easier to move in and out of ZAR.
Local currency stablecoins are critical to real-world stablecoin adoption. We’re excited to support ZARP as part of our growing set of local stablecoins powering onchain financial services across emerging markets.
This is how we get stablecoins into the hands of millions of users. Builder friendly rails, instant finality, and infrastructure fintechs can trust. Excited to build with Arc by @teamcircle
We hosted our first event in Joburg 🇿🇦 last week, and the response was incredible. Connecting with founders, fintech operators, and community leaders reaffirmed our mission: build stablecoin infrastructure that works for real markets. On to the next city.
We’re happy to announce that Blockradar is a Day 1 partner on Arc
Now, any Blockradar customer can begin using Arc on testnet.
We’re excited to give our customers the ability to pay for gas fees directly with stablecoins. Gas fees on Arc are low, predictable, and paid in stablecoins, starting with USDC. With fiat-based transaction costs, Arc enables simplified accounting and seamless user experiences that make stablecoin payments feel truly mainstream.
Arc’s architecture aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify stablecoin infrastructure for fintechs. On Arc, our customers can issue wallets, automate payouts, and unify USDC balances across chains, now with gas abstraction built in.
This collaboration brings us one step closer to a future where stablecoin payments are instant, transparent, and embedded into every financial product.
