Noah-Hyperbeat Deal Unlocks $300B On-Chain Banking

Hey Payments Fanatic!

Noah has partnered with the on-chain banking layer, Hyperbeat, to give users a faster and easier way to move money between bank accounts and on-chain trading for the first time.

As part of the partnership, Noah is now the default EUR, USD, and major currency settlement provider for Hyperbeat’s Liquid Banking experience, the new on-chain account that brings trading, payments, and balances together in one place.

Users gain USD/EUR bank details for seamless ACH, SEPA, and Fedwire deposits, settling into yield-bearing Hyperbeat USD backed 1:1 by Paxos' USDG stablecoin.

Crucially, when it is time to cash out, Noah’s infrastructure allows users to bypass the traditional SWIFT network entirely.

Withdrawals span 15+ currencies like GBP, BRL, and INR, bridging TradFi liquidity to high-speed DeFi trading.

As Shah Ramezani, CEO and Founder of Noah, put it: “As the default EUR, USD, and major currency settlement provider for Hyperbeat, we are enabling users to move funds securely and instantly between fiat, stablecoins, and native assets for the first time."

As one of the most active on-chain trading environments, Hyperliquid processes more than $300B in trading volumes each month.

More signals from the sector are coming up. I'll be back on Monday so you can stay up-to-date on the payments industry.

Cheers,

Marcel
