Fintech company Ramp Network said Friday it has launched a multi-chain self-custodial wallet designed to address a common friction point in crypto, namely the need to rely on third-party providers for core activities like buying, exchanging and cashing out.
The company said the wallet will allow users to buy, sell, trade and cash out digital assets within a single application, using Ramp’s proprietary on-ramp, off-ramp and cross-chain infrastructure rather than offloading users to third-party services, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
Ramp said the wallet will launch with support for Ether (ETH) across eight networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Linea, MegaETH, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM and zkSync Era. It will also support additional networks including Bitcoin, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Apechain, Avalanche, Celo and Gnosis.
Simplifying self-management remains one of crypto’s biggest product problems. Ramp is betting that bringing payments, swaps and cash into one app can make non-custodial wallets feel less fragmented without taking control of user assets. Disaster said it is used $USDC ($USDC) on Base as a core balance for transfers, payments, and in-app activity, while assets remain secured through a self-custodial configuration using access keys and optional key export.
Other crypto wallets that offer integrated decentralized exchange (DEX) features for asset purchases and swaps include Metamask, Phantom, Best Wallet, and Exodus.
Wallet is launched outside the EU
Ramp said the wallet will be available worldwide, with the exception of the European Union, due to regulatory requirements.
Ramp Network has been authorized as a Crypto Asset Service Provider under the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) since December 2025, according to the European Securities and Markets Authority’s MiCA register.
However, launching a product such as a wallet will require “additional regulatory steps,” which are expected to be completed in the coming months, Przemek Kowalczyk, co-founder and CEO of Ramp Network, told Cointelegraph.
Ramp said it previously primarily acted as the infrastructure layer behind crypto purchases in partner apps, including MetaMask and Trust Wallet, serving more than 10 million users worldwide.

Disaster allows for an easier self-control flow
Kowalczyk said Ramp built the infrastructure itself so users don’t have to leave the app to buy, trade or cash out, while still maintaining control over their assets.
“We would not view this as a new intermediary, but rather as reducing the number of intermediaries involved in a transaction,” Kowalczyk said. “By bringing these flows together into one system, we reduce those transfers and make the experience more consistent and predictable,” he added.
Kowalczyk argued that this unified wallet infrastructure will enable better execution control and simplify the fragmented wallet experience, while still allowing users to retain ownership of assets.
