Wirex and Ultra Stellar announced a partnership to build native payment infrastructure directly on Soroban, Stellar's smart contract platform. The unified layer combines Wirex's global payment connectivity, Visa integrations, and banking rails with Ultra Stellar's Stellar infrastructure expertise and millions of users across LOBSTR and StellarX. The infrastructure provides production-ready financial capabilities including stablecoin-powered virtual bank accounts, 1:1 fiat-stablecoin conversion, global co-branded card issuance at 80+ million merchants, cross-border payouts via ACH, SEPA, PIX, FPS, SWIFT, and Push-to-Card, plus up to 6% APY on stablecoin balances.
