Algorand Partners With Wirex to Bring Stablecoin Payments to Millions AllinCrypto December 2, 2025
Algorand is leaning into greater mainstream adoption with a new strategic partnership with Wirex, a global payment service, home to a stablecoin payment infrastructure.
The collaboration brings USDC on Algorand to Wirex’s 7 million+ users and enables spending at more than 80 million Visa-accepting merchants worldwide.
By integrating Algorand-native USDC directly into Wirex’s payment ecosystem, the two organizations aim to accelerate real-world usage of stablecoins, introducing new opportunities for the Algorand network to grow.
An On-Chain Payment System Powered by Algorand
As part of the partnership, Wirex is building a payment infrastructure that processes and settles every transaction entirely on Algorand.
This would mean all payments, whether card transactions, transfers, or cross-border remittances, can use Algorand’s blockchain as the underlying settlement layer. For users, this delivers the benefits Algorand is known for, such as extremely low fees and speedy finality.
With this integration, Wirex users can hold, send, and spend USDC on Algorand directly within the app.
The Wirex Visa Card enables real-world spending of stablecoins, offering instant conversion, zero FX fees, and cashback rewards. The partnership also supports seamless movement between fiat and stablecoins.
The launch comes after the Algorand Pera Card with Mastercard, which allowed Algorand users to pay for everyday goods in stablecoins via the Algorand network.
Real-World Use Cases To Drive Network Adoption
The initiative enables instant, zero-fee payments, allowing users to send and use Algorand-based USDC without traditional remittance costs or delays.
Wirex, a leading web3 money application for investments and payments, will bring new network traffic to Algroand as part of the strategic collaboration.
Developers building payment services and remittance platforms will be able to tap into Wirex’s API to access FX services and banking connectivity, making Algorand a more compelling ecosystem for building real-world products while boosting on-chain activity.
This partnership positions Algorand as a central network in Wirex’s multi-chain stablecoin strategy, connecting the network to a global layer that interacts with merchants, banks, and credit networks worldwide.
As more users transact in Algorand-native USDC, on-chain usage will grow, driving transaction volume and increasing utility for the ALGO token.
Taking a look at Algorand’s adoption by firms and institutional players, the network has come out on top for tokenization services with stocks of Exodus being tokenized on-chain.
According to data from RWA.xyz, Algorand’s real-world asset value sits at $132.98M as of December 2025.
By bringing Algorand’s technology to consumers and tens of millions of merchants, the collaboration seems to be the biggest real-world utilization event for the Algorand ecosystem in 2025.
