Wirex, a digital payments provider offering crypto-linked cards and wallets, has launched dual-stablecoin settlement on Visa using USDC and EURC on the Stellar blockchain. The Stellar blockchain ecosystem is supported by a non-profit Stellar Development Foundation (SDF).
The new integration in partnership with SDF allows Visa card transactions made through Wirex to be settled directly on-chain in USDC and EURC. The system operates through Wirex Pay, the company’s blockchain-based payment infrastructure. USDC and EURC are fully backed stablecoins issued by Circle, a fintech firm focused on digital dollar products.
According to the companies, the setup supports faster processing, lower costs, and continuous availability. Settlement coverage in both USD and EUR helps expand regional and global use cases.
