Avici, the fast-growing onchain banking startup, has partnered with Stripe through Bridge to introduce global USD and EUR accounts directly inside its self-custodial smart-wallet app. The integration brings regulated fiat rails into Avici’s onchain infrastructure, allowing users worldwide to receive deposits, hold balances, convert to stablecoins, and spend globally using the Avici Visa card.
According to the company, early users already have access to the new accounts, with broader rollout coming soon. All balances settle into Avici’s smart accounts, giving users traditional banking capabilities without giving up onchain control. For many users in emerging markets, this offers a convenient way to access USD and EUR without relying on legacy banks.
Avici has been expanding rapidly with its focus on building distributed banking infrastructure — merging fiat accounts, stablecoin spending, smart wallets, trust-backed credit, and automated agent-driven financial tools into one platform. The addition of USD and EUR accounts is a major step toward offering a full internet-native banking alternative.
Avici is led by Sitaram Kakarlamudi (Ram), who previously worked on gaming and wallet infrastructure and has been vocal about building a global, user-owned banking layer. He is joined by Abhishek, who leads smart-contract architecture and wallet engineering, and Varun, who drives the mobile and product experience. Together, the trio has been building Avici’s infrastructure from the ground up, focusing on self-custody, scalability, and real-world financial utility.
Industry analysts point out that few consumer crypto platforms have been able to integrate global fiat accounts while remaining self-custodial. Avici’s approach — combining Stripe/Bridge’s regulated banking partners with onchain settlement — positions it uniquely in the rapidly evolving fintech-crypto convergence.
