Push

Push is a stablecoin on- and off-ramp for European users, operated by Push Virtual Assets Ireland Limited under Central Bank of Ireland authorisation as a crypto-asset service provider, converting euros and USDC. Users pay by open banking transfer and receive stablecoins directly in a self-custodial wallet or payment account, with account-information services supplied by Plaid and no second layer of custody between the fiat leg and the on-chain balance.

It is distributed as an embedded service inside the Aave App on iOS and covers more than a dozen European markets including Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, with USDC bought and redeemed on Arbitrum. No trading fee or spread is charged, network fees are absorbed within limits, and the user flow is reduced to one authorisation and one transfer. It is distinct from the notification protocol Push Protocol, a different entity with a different product.
