Fintech infrastructure company Ramp Network has launched a new multichain self-custody wallet, marking a strategic shift from being a back-end payments provider to a front-end consumer brand. The wallet is designed to consolidate the fragmented experience of buying, selling, swapping, and cashing out cryptocurrencies into a single application.
The wallet launches with support for Ether (ETH) across eight networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Linea, MegaETH, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM, and zkSync Era. Ramp has announced plans to expand support to additional major networks, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Binance Smart Chain (BNB), Polygon (MATIC), Apechain, Avalanche (AVAX), Celo, and Gnosis.
A core feature of the wallet is its integrated use of USDC on the Base network as a primary balance for transfers, payments, and in-app activity. User assets remain secured through a self-custodial setup utilizing passkeys, with the option for key export. The company emphasizes that its goal is to "reduce the number of intermediaries" by bringing these financial flows into a single system, thereby creating a more consistent and predictable user experience without taking control of the assets.
The wallet will be available globally but will not launch initially in the European Union due to current regulatory requirements. Ramp Network has been authorized as a Crypto Asset Service Provider under the EU's MiCA regulation since December 2025, but CEO Przemek Kowalczyk stated that launching a wallet product requires "additional regulatory steps," expected to be finalized in the coming months.
This launch represents a significant pivot for Ramp, which until now has primarily operated as the infrastructure layer powering crypto purchases inside partner applications like MetaMask and Trust Wallet, serving over 10 million users globally.
