Noah, a global payments infrastructure provider with regulatory compliance, has teamed up with Gnosis, an innovator in decentralized financial systems, to integrate traditional fiat services with blockchain technologies.
Aiming for Stablecoin Adoption
The partnership seeks to speed up the integration of stablecoins into decentralised applications by blending conventional financial capabilities. This collaboration promises users a seamless and regulated experience across national borders.
Under this initiative, Noah introduces regulated USD virtual accounts, real-time conversions between stablecoins and fiat currencies, and free on- and off-ramp services for both US residents and international users. Cross-border transactions are supported in over 70 countries, providing DeFi applications with the capability to deliver practical financial solutions such as payroll processing, remittances, and business-to-business payments while maintaining user control and transparency.
Fusion of Traditional Finance and Web3
The partnership not only brings US market access to the Gnosis ecosystem but also positions it as a competitor in the global Web3 space, competing with other platforms that aim to integrate stablecoins with traditional payment systems.
Stablecoins have been seen as a key link between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, yet their use has often been hindered by the absence of compliant infrastructure. This partnership aims to resolve this issue by embedding fully regulated payment channels directly into DeFi applications.
Noah’s Programmable API
Noah’s programmable application programming interface (API) supports real-time settlement in more than 50 currencies, enabling fintech companies and developers to incorporate global payment functionalities without the complexities of traditional banking systems. The company recently secured $22 million in seed funding and holds licenses across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
First among Gnosis’s ecosystem applications—such as Picnic, Zeal, Safe, and Gnosis HQ—to integrate Noah’s infrastructure, users will be able to on-board fiat currencies, convert them into stablecoins, hold balances, and send or receive funds globally in a secure and compliant environment.
Industry Trend Towards Compliance
This move aligns with the broader industry trend of merging DeFi usability with regulatory compliance. As regulators intensify their oversight over crypto-based financial services, solutions like Noah’s offer a way forward by incorporating licensing, anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) checks, and fiat connectivity directly into DeFi workflows.
