The Cardano Card is natively integrated into the Wirex app and is immediately visible to Wirex’s six million users worldwide, marking what is considered to be Cardano’s largest entry into the digital payments world and bridging mainstream banking with onchain finance. Cardano Card holders are able to unlock the full suite of Wirex App features, including yield opportunities through X-Accounts and access to loans, as well as structured trading products.
In phase two, it will expand to an innovative non-custodial Cardano card solution forecasted for release in 2026. These same features ” yield, loans, and more ” will also become available in a non-custodial way, offering users greater control, security, and flexibility when spending ADA and other digital assets.
“We’re thrilled to see Cardano launch their first ever card offering through the Wirex ecosystem. This marks not only a major milestone for Cardano as they expand into the global banking and payments space, but also a testament to their commitment to driving real-world adoption under their brand. Together, we’re bringing millions of users closer to a future where digital assets are seamlessly integrated into everyday financial life,” said Georgy Sokolov, Co-founder at Wirex.
