- Wirex and TRON launch a native on-chain payment infrastructure to support global payments, stablecoins, and AI-driven transactions.
- The fully on-chain system aims to provide low-fee, transparent, programmable value transfers for retail, business, and agentic use.
Wirex has partnered with TRON DAO to launch a fully on-chain, TRON-native payment infrastructure designed for fast, global digital asset transactions. The collaboration enables retail, institutional, and agent-based payments with low fees, self-custody, and real-time settlement.
The system processes each step, from stablecoin conversion to final settlement, entirely on the TRON network. TRON’s architecture supports high-speed transactions with a reported transfer volume exceeding $23 trillion, over 350 million user accounts, and more than 12 billion recorded transactions.

Built on TRON’s scalability and Wirex’s established payment connectivity, the new payment layer enables users to spend digital assets in real-world scenarios, including retail purchases and cross-border transfers. According to Wirex, the integration aims to unlock a new phase of on-chain financial activity.
Wirex’s New Infrastructure for Programmable Finance
Wirex has explained that the new system supports agentic payments, a feature that allows digital agents or autonomous applications to send, receive, and manage funds without manual input. This capability is intended to meet growing demand for automated and programmable transaction systems, particularly in AI-integrated finance.
Wirex co-founder Pavel Matveev commented:
“By building TRON-native payment infrastructure, we’re proving that on-chain money can move as seamlessly as data. Fast, transparent, programmable, and under user control, it’s the foundation for the next generation of self-custodial and agentic payments.”
The system will support major stablecoins like USDT and EUR-backed equivalents with 1:1 conversion. All operations remain self-custodial, with users retaining full control of their assets throughout the process. Wirex serves only as a non-custodial payment bridge, not an asset holder.
The payment infrastructure extends TRON’s use case beyond traditional DeFi. According to the announcement, it offers direct connectivity to Visa’s 80 million merchant network and over 130 countries through Wirex’s global payment rails. The company says this structure is designed to support everyday crypto payments, enterprise transactions, invoicing, and payroll.
As CNF reported, TRON has seen a steady increase in user growth, with 240,000 new accounts created daily. However, the price of TRX has declined by roughly 16% over the last quarter, marking its weakest Q4 performance since 2017.
As we previously covered, Wirex’s 2025 launch of its stablecoin payment service, Wirex Pay, helped extend its infrastructure footprint. The firm’s new collaboration with TRON could now bring that model to a much larger user base. Meanwhile, as CNF detailed, The Graph has also expanded support for TRON, adding Substreams and Token API integration to improve access to scalable on-chain data for developers.
The TRON (TRX) price has seen bullish development, managing to erase the bear trend. At press time, the TRX price was exchanging hands at $0.2956, a 1.3% rise in the past 24 hours.
