Leverate added direct crypto deposits to its Payment Gateway today (Tuesday) through a partnership with Dubai-based CipherBC. The companies said brokers can apply their own approval rules to digital-asset funding.
The gateway already handled fiat payments. Adding crypto gives brokers one view of cards, bank transfers, e-wallets and blockchain deposits while keeping transaction approval in a configurable system.
Brokers Set Approval Rules Inside the Gateway
CipherBC uses multi-party computation, or MPC, to divide the process of authorizing a transaction so that no single complete private key controls it. According to the companies, brokers can set approval thresholds, access rules and whitelisted withdrawal addresses.
The policy layer is CipherBC's RAFP+ governance system. CipherBC's public governance guide shows configurable committees, minimum approval counts, cooling-off periods and separate permissions for policy changes and asset transfers.
"Accept crypto deposits without turning into a crypto company," Yossi Tamir, Leverate's Head of Business Development and Partnership Success, said in the announcement.

Leverate said the same approval logic brokers use for traditional payments will apply to crypto funding. The division is unclear. The announcement does not explain which controls each provider enforces when a transaction is blocked or disputed.
CipherBC markets hot, warm and cold wallet configurations as well as full-stack and sovereign deployments. Its public API documentation includes deposit and withdrawal functions, but that does not confirm which functions are part of the Leverate connection.
FinanceMagnates.com asked Leverate whether the feature is live, how many brokers are using or testing it and which assets and networks it supports.
It also asked who controls deposited funds and whether withdrawals are included. No production broker was named, and the company had not responded by publication time.
Crypto Funding Is Already in Rival Broker Stacks
The precedent dates to August 2021. Spotware added direct crypto deposits to cTrader Web and Desktop 4.1, letting traders fund accounts without first converting to fiat.
Match-Trade Technologies placed its Match2Pay processor inside Broctagon's AXIS CRM in November 2023. The one-click CRM integration let connected brokers accept deposits and manage the payment flow without switching systems.
Match2Pay broadened that route in January 2026 by adding Binance Pay to its existing dashboards and webhooks. The hosted checkout uses Binance's internal payment network instead of an on-chain transfer for that method.
Custody models can differ even when the client sees a direct deposit button. EBC Financial Group's October 2025 Match2Pay rollout stated that EBC would not hold client crypto directly because the gateway handled conversion.
eToro took another route in November 2025, opening crypto deposits to eligible UAE clients. Leverate did not provide an equivalent custody disclosure.
Leverate Keeps Adding Functions to One Broker Package
Leverate has operated since 2008 and sells a broker stack spanning white-label trading, customer relationship management, risk tools, liquidity and MetaTrader services. Its account-based pricing introduced in February tied monthly costs to live accounts and removed setup fees for new operators.
"Brokers can offer direct crypto deposits while keeping full control," CipherBC Co-Founder and CEO Joseph Zhang said.
Payments are one part of that bundle. Leverate previously partnered with Cricpayz on payment access for Asian brokers and prop firms in July 2024.
The company has continued to consolidate broker functions this year. Its xChart engine launched on August 24 with broker-set order confirmations.
A back-office MCP server opened in July to connect AI assistants with permissioned CRM and risk data.
The companies said they plan to support brokers in the UAE and selected Asia-Pacific markets, subject to local requirements. They did not name the countries or a rollout timetable.
