TOKEN2049 Singapore is coming up, and we’ll be there. On 7–8 October, Sviatoslav Garal, our Global Head of Payments, and Aleksandr Nurtdinov, our Asia GTM Manager, will be representing Wirex at the event. With thousands of companies across crypto, payments, infrastructure and Web3 in one place, it is a good opportunity to catch up with partners, meet teams from across the industry and have practical conversations around stablecoin payments and the infrastructure behind them. If you’re heading to TOKEN2049 as well, send us a DM and we’ll help set up a meeting with the team.

Wirex today is increasingly an infrastructure company. The retail business gave us years of experience operating cards, accounts, payments, scheme connectivity and compliance ourselves. The shift was to take that operating stack and make it available to other companies building financial products. We launched the infrastructure business in November 2025. In 131 days, it became the fastest stablecoin payment infrastructure to reach $1B in annualised onchain volume. That run rate has since passed $2B. Partners can now build with cards, accounts, payouts, settlement and other financial products through one integration, with an average signed-to-live timeline of 44 days. That is the direction of the business now. We are building the infrastructure other companies use to bring stablecoin-powered financial products to market. In this conversation with @samconnerone, Community Lead Developer at @circle and @arc, our Group CEO and Co-Founder @matveevp explains how Wirex moved from retail into infrastructure and what that focus looks like today.

Wirex infrastructure is now live on @Arc. 🤝 With Arc mainnet officially live, we’re bringing our banking and payment infrastructure onto the network, giving builders a new settlement layer for stablecoin-powered financial products.

The Solid Card is now live across a much wider global footprint, with Wirex powering the infrastructure behind this expansion. 🤝 @SolidYield is expanding its card product across Europe and key markets in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. That wider rollout gives more Solid users access to the same core experience: → Spend directly from a non-custodial wallet → Keep earning yield until the moment of payment → No separate off-ramp step before spending → Use the card anywhere Visa is accepted More reach for Solid, with the same product experience users already know.

A stablecoin card can serve users around the world while its issuer still settles every transaction with the card network in a single currency. For many programmes, that currency is USD. The model works, but it was not really designed around a user base spending across EUR, GBP and other currencies. Once the spending currency and settlement currency differ, another layer of cross-border and FX economics enters the transaction. And the network is only part of the picture. @Paymentscan notes in its research that issuers and card programmes can also add FX fees of their own, which helps explain why some stablecoin cards end up looking much more like traditional bank cards when used abroad. Multi-currency settlement changes the infrastructure underneath that model, and this is an area where Wirex has moved early. We already settle with @Visa onchain in both USDC and EURC, while GBP and AUD settlement are also in development. @Paymentscan also identifies Wirex as having the widest local issuance footprint of any stablecoin issuer it tracks.

On September 9, Wirex Group CEO and Co-Founder @matveevp will join @samconnerone, Developer Community Lead at @arc, for a conversation on stablecoins, payments and the infrastructure behind them. They’ll look at Wirex’s move beyond crypto cards into full-stack banking and payment infrastructure, how cards, accounts, payments and settlement come together, and where Arc fits into that stack. A closer look at what stablecoin-native financial infrastructure can become.

1/ Send is taking its next step with Wirex. 🤝 We’re partnering with @Send to power Send Cards and the infrastructure around them, designed so a payout can be usable the moment it arrives.

When you tap a stablecoin card at a coffee shop, a lot more happens than “stablecoins get spent.” The merchant still sees a normal card payment, and to the user, everything looks simple - tap, approval, done. But behind that moment is an entire payments infrastructure working in the background. At the point of payment, the transaction travels through the card network to the issuer, where the card, available funds, limits and risk controls are checked before it can be approved. Behind the balance, stablecoin infrastructure connects the value the customer holds with the card transaction. Depending on the setup, stablecoins can also be used further down the chain for settlement with the card network. After the tap, the transaction still needs to be cleared, settled and reconciled. And if something happens later, refunds, disputes, chargebacks and fraud investigations all need to be handled too. And that is just one transaction. Behind every card programme sit fraud monitoring, compliance, disputes and chargebacks, card lifecycle management, Apple Pay and Google Pay provisioning, reporting, scheme requirements and the operations needed to keep all of it working reliably. So a card programme is ultimately all of these layers working together as one system, with the card itself only being the most visible part. We operate that infrastructure today across 75+ clients, with hundreds more exploring integrations, and +$2B in annualised onchain card spend. And through the same API, partners can also access EUR, USD and GBP accounts, on/off ramps, FX, yield, merchant-funded cashback, Push-to-Card payouts and travel services alongside card issuance.
