The launch comes after other major TRON partnerships, including a recent integration with Revolut for in-app staking and a collaboration with prediction market Kalshi
On January 6, the global digital payments platform Wirex announced the launch of a new, fully on-chain payment infrastructure developed natively on the TRON blockchain. This system is specifically designed for what experts call “agentic payments,” a concept that allows digital agents and applications to manage financial transactions completely on their own.
The initiative was developed in partnership with TRON DAO, which is an organization behind the blockchain. It shows a major development toward developing an ecosystem where AI-based programs can operate independently within decentralized finance, DeFi.
Wirex, a company known for its stablecoin services, announced that this new infrastructure will utilize Tron’s high-speed blockchain to enable instant and low-cost transfers of value anywhere in the world.
“This integration brings TRON one step closer to mass adoption,” Pavel Matveev, Co-Founder of Wirex, stated. “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.”
“Wirex shares our vision for an open, inclusive financial system,” Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at the TRON DAO, said. “Wirex will be able to utilize the TRON network to grow their stablecoin infrastructure and redefine how users and businesses transact, not in theory, but in everyday life.”
Unlike traditional payment systems that rely on banks and can be slow, this new infrastructure exists entirely on the blockchain. This design ensures the transactions are programmable, transparent, and secure.
The term “agentic payments” refers to intelligent, automated transactions carried out by AI agents. One can think of a virtual assistant that can pay bills, a trading bot that can earn yield through staking, or a decentralized application that can buy and sell assets automatically without any human intervention.
Just a few weeks ago, Tron completed an integration with Revolut, the European neobank used by millions of users. This partnership allows Revolut users to stake TRX tokens and send money instantly using stablecoins directly within the application.
The blockchain ecosystem has also been active with community initiatives. In December, it launched a campaign called “Holiday Odyssey,” which runs until January 18, 2026. This event, in partnership with SunPump and WINkLink, encourages user participation through activities like staking and trading.
Apart from this, the blockchain has recently partnered with platforms like Orbiter Finance and NEAR Protocol to improve secure, multichain asset transfers and integrated with the regulated prediction market giant Kalshi on December 18.
It also recently revealed that a $18 million strategic equity investment from Justin Sun.
“This $18 million investment from Justin Sun is a powerful endorsement of Tron Inc.’s strategy, execution, and long-term vision,” Rich Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Tron Inc., said. “We are aggressively positioning the Company to capitalize on the accelerating adoption of the TRON network, global blockchain-based payments, and Web3 infrastructure. This capital strengthens our balance sheet, expands our digital asset treasury, and enhances our ability to drive substantial long-term shareholder value.”
