Use Cases

On-Ramp: Mint via Wire Transfer

As a Circle Mint partner, VALR offers customers the ability to deposit USD or EUR via wire transfer (SWIFT and SEPA) and receive USDC or EURC on a 1:1 basis on our platform less a flat fee. Customers can also create 1,000s of sub-accounts - both via API and the UI - each with their own unique deposit references and wallet/trade functionality.

Off-Ramp: Convert Stablecoins into Fiat (USD, EUR, and ZAR)

Easily convert stablecoins into local currency and off-ramp directly to your bank account. VALR offers the deepest, most liquid markets against the ZAR, where you can off-ramp using our direct banking integrations.

Trade: Use USDC for Collateral on Our Cross-Collateralized Spot and Perpetual Futures Exchange

Use USDC or other crypto collateral to margin your trading on VALR and gain exposure to the crypto market through our collateralized spot and futures exchange. Additionally we offer an OTC desk for high-value trades. We specialize in large on and off-ramping transactions in ZAR.

Corporate Offerings and Tools: Integrate VALR via a World-Class REST API

Integrate with VALR using our API that offers REST endpoints and a complementary Websocket that allows you to stream market data and place trades. Integrating with VALR gives you the option of using our liquidity to offer your clients exposure to crypto products while we handle the difficulties of custody for you.
