Wirex, a Web3 money app, has announced the expansion of its stablecoin payment platform, Wirex Pay, to the U.S.
This milestone marks a key step in making stablecoin payments more accessible, offering U.S. residents a self-custodial way “to transact with stablecoins.”
The expansion is powered by a strategic partnership with Bridge, a stablecoin orchestration platform.
Through this collab, Wirex Pay enables U.S. users to make payments directly from non-custodial wallets “via card and bank transfers while maintaining full control over their funds.”
With Bridge providing stablecoin orchestration and instant on/off-ramp solutions, U.S. users can now “access real-time, automatic swaps between fiat and stablecoins.”
This enhances the speed, transparency, and flexibility of payments, “further bridging the gap between digital and traditional finance.”

- Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure: The expansion of Wirex Pay introduces a seamless stablecoin payment solution, allowing users to transact efficiently without intermediaries.
- Self-Custody & Security: Users retain full control over their stablecoins, eliminating reliance on third-party custodians.

- Stablecoin On/Off Ramp: Through Bridge, users gain instant access to stablecoins and U.S. Dollar bank accounts, enabling smooth conversions between digital and traditional currencies.
- Real-Time On-Chain Swaps: Automatic, real-time on-chain swaps between fiat and stablecoins open new possibilities for payments, benefiting both consumers and businesses.
