September 16, 2026

London – September 16, 2026, 16:00 CET: Global payments infrastructure platform Mercuryo and leading self-custodial hardware wallet Tangem today announced a limited-time, zero-fee on-ramp campaign for USD Coin (USDC) on the Stellar network. The promotion enables users to buy the dollar-backed stablecoin directly into their Tangem wallet with no Mercuryo or Tangem fees.

The campaign supports purchases by credit or debit card, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Eligible transactions require a minimum purchase of $150/€150 and are capped at $700/€700 per on-ramp transaction. The offer is available for on-ramp only and supports selected local currencies. Network transaction fees on Stellar will still apply.

“We’re delighted to launch this zero-fee on-ramp for USDC on Stellar with Tangem,” said Arthur Firstov, Chief Business Officer at Mercuryo. “As stablecoin utility expands across the crypto ecosystem, this offer gives Tangem users a straightforward way to obtain access to USDC.”

“The campaign gives users a simple way to buy USDC directly into a self-custodial wallet, so they control their assets from the moment of purchase,” said Stanislav Bublik, Head of Investment Products at Tangem. “At the same time, they are acquiring a fully reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin with zero fees.”

The promotion is not available to users in the US, UK or European Economic Area (EEA).
