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.
