ON and OFF RAMPS
While the world of crypto is evolving and expanding rapidly, the ability to operate between the traditional fiat currency system and the crypto ecosystem remains a challenge, and in some cases is deteriorating. As such, 'on ramp' and 'off ramp' services in the crypto world are critically important as they represent the critical middle layer between both worlds.
An on-ramp service allows users to leverage traditional fiat currency to purchase crypto assets and transact within the crypto realm. These on-ramps are a critical gateway for any individual or company wanting to enter the world of digital assets and currency.
An off-ramp service on the other hand, enables users to convert crypto assets back into fiat currency, making the value that was stored in the crypto world now accessible in the legacy fiat world. These pivotal services, therefore, make crypto assets far more usable and practical for everyday transactions, bridging the gap between traditional and crypto economies.
There are different kinds of crypto on-ramps. Two of the most well-known and largest are Binance and Coinbase, which fall into the category of centralized exchanges (CEXs) and they are highly regulated like financial institutions. They have strong security and are setup to appeal to a large audience, including beginners into the crypto space. Alternatively, there are decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that operate without a centralized authority as they are fully functional on the tenets of blockchain technology. More established crypto users will leverage DEXs as they prefer the greater degree of control and privacy related to their assets and transactions. Decentralized exchanges require more experience as they are not as user-friendly as centralized exchanges.
Depending on your jurisdiction, certain centralized exchanges may not be available to all users. Further, some banks, especially within certain jurisdictions may not permit (or may block) the transfer of a user's fiat currency into the digital world to buy crypto assets, and vice versa, from the crypto world back into the fiat world, thus making matters even more challenging for those wishing to participate in the crypto space.

CRYPTO to FIAT SOLUTIONS
Within the realm, and really a subset of "On and Off Ramps", falls the category of "Crypto to Fiat Solutions". What is meant by this, is that once the user (be it an individual or a corporation) is onboarded through some form of on ramp into the crypto world, what do you do with the value or wealth that you create over time within crypto. in many countries around the world, this is where things become tricky, if not downright impossible.
With AML (anti money laundering) triggers, banks that are not crypto friendly, uncertain tax policies within certain countries, it can becomes very difficult to use your crypto to pay for every day purchases such as groceries, restaurant bills, gas for your vehicle, the rent or a monthly mortgage payment, a gift for your partner, pretty much any kind of transaction you might consider perfectly normal in the course of your daily life.
What if you're a crypto company, and you're having trouble converting enough of your crypto holdings to fiat to pay for your monthly operating expenses such payroll, office rent, supplies, cloud services, and the list goes on.
There are a never ending stream of anecdotal stories of individuals or organizations being blocked, be it by banks, merchants or even governments from converting their crypto into fiat so that they can participate and function with their crypto income in the legacy world, and even if some transactions are allowed, there are monthly (and possibly annual) limitations to how much an individual or corporation can earn in crypto or convert from crypto into fiat currency.
This is where the creativity, innovation and expertise of Block3 Finance come into play. Over the years, we have setup a network of trusted, reliable and highly efficient mechanisms and processes (encompassing legal, accounting, international banking and currency exchange entities) that make the difficult or even impossible a reality.
Not only can we enable you to operate freely and legally between the crypto currency world and the legacy fiat banking world to make those typical monthly purchases, but imagine being able to actually purchase a car or even a house using your crypto holdings. This is now all possible with Block3 Finance's crypto to fiat payment network, and the vast majority of these transactions process within hours.
Block3 Finance enables you to focus on what's important… You, and those you care about as well as the things you are passionate about. Welcome to real freedom to operate on every level.
