Abstract generation in progress

At the Cardano Summit in Berlin, Emurgo announced a strategic partnership with Wirex to launch the Cardano Card — a multi-chain crypto payment card integrated into the Wirex app and instantly accessible to over six million users across 130 countries.

Summit attendees are getting an early look at the product, with the option to register on-site and preview plastic, metal, and virtual versions of the card. The rollout will proceed in phases, with a non-custodial Cardano Card planned for release in 2026.

A Multi-Chain Card for Global Users

The Cardano Card supports more than 685 cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, including ADA, BTC, ETH, and USDC, and offers full Visa compatibility for both online and offline payments worldwide. Users can access up to 8% crypto cashback, ATM withdrawals, and low foreign exchange fees, along with DeFi features such as yield opportunities and crypto-backed loans.

According to Emurgo, a portion of the Card’s profits will be allocated to the Cardano Treasury, supporting the network’s ongoing ecosystem development. Card availability will vary by region and is subject to Wirex’s eligibility and issuance terms.

Strengthening Cardano’s Financial Reach

Emurgo CEO Phillip Pon described the partnership as a major step in enhancing Cardano’s visibility in global banking and payments. “This launch represents a tangible bridge between traditional finance and Cardano’s decentralized economy,” he said.

Georgy Sokolov, Co-Founder of Wirex, emphasized that the initiative marks another milestone toward mainstream crypto adoption. “Integrating Cardano into Wirex brings us closer to a world where digital assets are as usable as traditional currencies,” Sokolov stated.

A New Chapter for On-Chain Finance

The Cardano Card demonstrates how blockchain and fintech partnerships can converge to deliver real-world utility for digital assets. By combining Wirex’s global payments infrastructure with Cardano’s scalable blockchain technology, Emurgo is positioning the Cardano ecosystem for broader retail and institutional engagement in the years ahead.
