Trust Wallet, a leading self-custody provider, and Mercuryo, a prominent payments infrastructure firm, have joined forces to facilitate the conversion of digital assets into fiat currency. This collaboration aims to streamline the process of turning cryptocurrencies into real-world money, commonly known as “off-ramping.”
The new service, which supports over 30 digital currencies, allows Trust Wallet users to convert their virtual assets into euros and U.S. dollars. Available in more than 135 countries, this feature enhances the usability of cryptocurrencies by providing an efficient way to access traditional financial systems. Petr Kozyakov, co-founder and CEO of Mercuryo, emphasized the importance of having an easy off-ramp service, stating that it is as crucial as the secure storage of digital assets.

This partnership is a significant step toward fostering mass adoption of cryptocurrencies and expanding their use cases. It is particularly timely as Europe prepares for the implementation of the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), which aims to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets across the European Union.
The collaboration between Trust Wallet and Mercuryo is part of a broader trend of web3 companies enhancing their services in Europe. Other notable firms like Strike, Tether, Robinhood, and Kraken have recently extended their offerings in the region, responding to the growing demand for virtual currency banking services. Currently, over 63 institutions in Europe provide digital asset rails, reflecting the continent’s growing interest in cryptocurrency integration.
By providing seamless crypto-to-fiat conversion, Trust Wallet and Mercuryo are positioning themselves at the forefront of the financial revolution, bridging the gap between digital and traditional currencies, and supporting the broader adoption of blockchain technology.
