Learn how Coinflow enables tokenized on-chain platform balances using wrapped USDC
Wrapped USDC for Web3 Platforms
⚠️ This flow is best for Web3 platforms where each user has their own blockchain wallets, and you want to allow your users to receive tokens.
Many platforms want to let users onramp and have a spendable balance, but cannot custody funds or maintain internal ledgers.
Coinflow solves this by:
- Processing the payment
- Settling USDC directly into your settlement location
- Minting wrapped USDC to the user
- Burning those wrapped USDC tokens when the user spends, while Coinflow sends USDC to your settlement address upon purchase completion
This lets you behave as if the user “holds” USDC without ever becoming the custodian of customer funds.
Why Platforms Use This
This flow is ideal if:
- Your end goal is to allow users to onramp
- You need a USDC-like user balance without taking custody of real funds
- Your platform economy runs on wallets + smart contracts
