UAE’s First Regulated Crypto On-Ramp and Off-Ramp Solution
Crypto is no longer just a speculative asset. It’s a real financial tool used by businesses in real estate, luxury retail, shipping, logistics, and general trading. Yet for many UAE businesses, converting crypto to fiat (or vice versa) has been inefficient, unregulated, and often risky. That’s now changed.
Hubpay, in partnership with Aquanow, is introducing the UAE’s first regulated crypto payment gateway empowering businesses to seamlessly manage crypto and fiat transactions in a fully compliant environment.
What Are Crypto On-Ramps and Off-Ramps?
On-ramps let you convert traditional fiat currencies (like AED or USD) into crypto assets like USDT, USDC, or BTC. This is how businesses enter the crypto economy.
Off-ramps, on the other hand, let you convert crypto back to fiat allowing you to receive crypto payments from customers and settle them into your UAE bank account or digital wallet.

Hubpay’s Regulated Off-Ramp: Convert Crypto to AED or USD Instantly
Hubpay and Aquanow have partnered to build a crypto off-ramp solution that allows businesses in the UAE to:
Receive global payments in crypto or stablecoins
Instantly convert crypto to AED or USD
Top up their Hubpay digital wallet
Make third-party payments to suppliers, partners, or vendors
This solution is ideal for international clients who prefer paying in crypto and businesses who want to maintain fiat onshore in the UAE.
Looking to convert USDT to AED in the UAE?
You can now do it with speed and compliance using Hubpay’s crypto payment link.
VARA-Licensed Custodians Can Now Off-Ramp via Hubpay
We’ve also enabled a powerful B2B off-ramp mechanism:
Licensed Web3 custodians regulated by VARA can partner with Hubpay to convert stablecoins or crypto received from clients into fiat. These fiat funds are credited into the custodian’s Hubpay business account, which can then be used for:
Paying service providers
Settling local transactions
Managing corporate treasury
This creates a seamless, regulated off-ramp flow for crypto-native businesses in the UAE.
Coming Soon: Hubpay’s Crypto On-Ramp
Our on-ramp solution is almost live.
Soon, Hubpay clients will be able to convert AED or USD from their Hubpay wallet into crypto or stablecoins (like USDT or USDC) and send payments directly to wallets or exchanges removing friction from crypto-to-crypto or fiat-to-crypto conversions.
Whether you’re investing, paying suppliers, or sending funds internationally, Hubpay makes crypto on-ramps as smooth as fiat wire transfers.
Why This Matters for UAE Businesses
Industries like real estate, luxury goods, logistics, aviation, and general trading are increasingly transacting in digital assets.
But up until now, there’s been a major gap in infrastructure: regulated, fast, and secure crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto payment rails.
Hubpay is filling that gap by:
Being licensed by ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) as an EMI
Partnering with VARA-licensed entities like Aquanow
Offering a complete crypto-fiat payment loop for UAE businesses
Providing local AED support, not just USD.
