Juan Lopez, managing partner at VanEck Ventures, said that as stablecoins flourish this year, companies that connect digital assets with traditional payment systems are becoming more attractive.
He said in a recent interview that as companies continue to explore new use cases for dollar-pegged tokens, companies that help customers exchange cash and cryptocurrencies are becoming some of the hottest acquisition targets.
While in the past these "on-and-off" ramps were primarily seen as a way to make it easy for customers to buy cryptocurrencies, now they are increasingly seen as important touchpoints for facilitating everyday transactions with stablecoins, Mr. Lopez said.
"Deposit channel companies started out as companies that connected traditional payment systems to the blockchain-adjacent systems pioneered by exchanges," he said. "Now they can go from simple deposit and withdrawal companies to full-fledged payment service providers built on this new infrastructure, which is much sexier."
