Wirex, a UK-based Web3 money app, has rolled out its stablecoin payment platform, Wirex Pay, in US.
The expansion is supported by a strategic partnership with Bridge, a stablecoin orchestration platform.

Through this collaboration, Wirex Pay will allow US users to transact using a self-custodial method with stablecoins via card or bank transfers, keeping full control over their funds.
This integration allows for transactions across 200+ countries and 80 million+ merchants, wherever Visa is accepted, the company said.
US residents can now link any non-custodial wallet to make stablecoin-powered card and bank payments.
Through the Bridge, users gain access to stablecoins and US Dollar bank accounts, enabling conversions between digital and traditional currencies.
Wirex co-founder Pavel Matveev said: “By offering a decentralised payment layer that works anywhere Visa is accepted, we’re unlocking new financial capabilities for both humans and AI-driven economies.”
Bridge co-founder and CEO Zach Abrams stated: ”By combining our technology with Wirex Pay’s expertise, we’re providing users with a seamless, flexible, and secure way to interact with stablecoins. We’re thrilled to give more people access to better money.”
In November 2024, Wirex Pay, the non-custodial payment network developed by Wirex, released its Payment API for public access, enabling wallets, decentralised apps (dApps), and fintech platforms to integrate with its infrastructure.
Wirex currently serves over six million customers across 130 countries.
Known for offering secure accounts, it enables users to store, purchase, and exchange multiple currencies. It is a principal member of both Visa and Mastercard.
With $20bn in processed transactions, Wirex focusses on driving the adoption of digital payments.
