Alchemy Pay scores money transmitter license in Arkansas.
Its payment platform is available in 173 countries worldwide.
FM
The cryptocurrency
payment gateway Alchemy Pay is making strides in its global expansion strategy
following the acquisition of a major payment license in the United States.
Inaugural
U.S. Money Transmitter License for Alchemy Pay
The
company has successfully secured a money transmitter license in the state of
Arkansas, as announced by Alchemy Pay on September 20.
This
license, granted by the Arkansas Securities Department, authorizes Alchemy Pay
to offer a range of financial services, including the sale or issuance of
payment instruments, stored value, and prepaid access, as well as the receipt of
money, digital currency, or monetary value for transmission.
The
spokesperson for Alchemy Pay noted that this Arkansas license, issued on
September 13, is a historic milestone as it marks the company's "very
first" money transmitter license in the United States.
By
obtaining the money transmitter license, Alchemy Pay joins the ranks of several
other cryptocurrency firms authorized to facilitate crypto-to-fiat transactions
in Arkansas. These firms include well-known names, such as Coinbase, Block
(founded by Jack Dorsey), MoonPay, the bitFlyer exchange, and others.
This
licensing achievement represents a significant step in Alchemy Pay's ongoing
efforts to secure regulatory approvals in crucial global markets. The company
has also obtained licenses in other operating markets, such as Indonesia and
Lithuania.
“With
a strong dedication to compliance, our team had invested substantial time and
effort into securing licenses across various countries and regions,” Alchemy
Pay’s ecosystem lead Robert McCraken said, adding: “The
company now prepares to expand its presence, aims to expand its services to
users in the United States, and further contribute to our mission, bridging the
fiat and crypto global economies.”
The
platform is currently available in 173 countries, including regions like
Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, India, and more.
This
development comes on the heels of Alchemy Pay's inclusion as one of the
compliant service providers within Mastercard's Site Data Protection program in June 2023.
Prior to that, Alchemy Pay received official recognition as a service provider
by Visa in January 2023.
With
its expanding regulatory approvals and strategic partnerships with major
payment giants, Alchemy Pay is well-positioned to further strengthen its
presence in the global cryptocurrency payment landscape, offering
enhanced accessibility and convenience to users seeking to transact between
traditional and digital currencies.

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
