Hylaq Wins Coinbase and Stripe Approval to Enable Handle-Based Payment Solutions
Mansfield, Texas, 9th February 2026, Hylaq, a handle-based internet identity and payments platform, has secured approvals for Coinbase on-ramp and off-ramp services as well as Stripe’s crypto on-ramp, enabling compliant fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat transactions through its integrated payments layer, Loadit Pay.
The platform replaces traditional URLs and wallet addresses with simple, human-readable @handles, allowing users to send and receive cryptocurrency without relying on complex alphanumeric strings. Loadit Pay powers wallet funding, crypto transfers, and fiat withdrawals while maintaining full non-custodial control.
Hylaq was founded by Colton Trudell of Mansfield, Texas, and co-founded by Ricardo “Ricky” Martinez of Fort Worth, Texas. Loadit operates independently at https://loadit.net and serves as the financial routing and payments infrastructure behind the Hylaq platform.
Neither Hylaq nor Loadit Pay custody user funds or private keys. All transactions are signed client-side, ensuring users retain ownership and control at all times.
“These platforms were built to solve crypto’s usability problem,” said Trudell. “By unifying identity and payments into a single non-custodial experience, we’re making digital payments feel natural while preserving compliance.”
Hylaq and Loadit Pay are currently live with user-facing products and support multiple blockchain networks, with expanded functionality planned throughout 2026.
