400M+ global crypto holders seeking fiat off-ramps

The Problem

Cryptocurrency holders struggle to use their digital assets for everyday purchases and international payments. Existing solutions are often region-locked (not available in the US or India), discontinued, or limited to bank transfers rather than offering flexible spending options like virtual debit cards or cash access. Users need a simple, compliant way to bridge crypto holdings and real-world spending.

Potential Solution

A multi-region platform that lets users instantly load virtual or physical debit cards from their crypto wallets, supporting major cryptocurrencies and fiat outputs (USD, EUR, and more). The platform would integrate crypto-to-fiat conversion with card issuance, offering virtual cards for online purchases and physical cards or ATM withdrawal for cash access, while handling regulatory compliance per region automatically.

Why Now?

Crypto adoption continues to grow globally while traditional payment processors like Stripe still exclude major markets like India. Regulatory frameworks for crypto spending (MiCA in Europe, evolving US guidance) are maturing, creating a window for compliant crypto-to-fiat products that serve underbanked regions and cross-border use cases.

Building connections to all relevant payment methods and card schemes (Visa,Mastercard, Amex, etc) worldwide. Removing the complexity for our businesses to integrate them separately. Create a high-available, highly-scalable payment processing platform and connect to hundreds of external APIs. Given our global scale, automating all core processes to match funds to the penny, is a continuous challenge.

Solo dev in India: What do you use for web subscription payments ?

r/indiehackersindiaJul 1, 2026

For Indian solo dev building global SaaS, I think MoR is better in the start. Paddle / Lemon Squeezy / Polar / Dodo Payments take higher fees, but they handle tax, invoices, subscriptions, global payments and refunds. Stripe/Razorpay gives more control, but also more compliance/accounting headache. So I would start with MoR and switch later only when revenue becomes bigger.
