Wirex has teamed up with TRON DAO to launch a payment layer built natively on the TRON blockchain for instant, autonomous global value transfers.

The fully on-chain system is designed to enable what Wirex calls “agentic payments”, where digital agents and applications can autonomously send, receive and manage funds.

The partners are developing a common infrastructure that lets TRON users spend digital assets for everyday payments – from in-store purchases to cross-border transfers – while retaining self-custody.

It runs on TRON’s blockchain, which is configured for rapid settlement, low transaction costs and programmable functionality.

TRON positions its chain as a global settlement layer, citing more than $23tn in total transfer volume, over 350 million user accounts and more than 12 billion transactions.

Coupling this scale with Wirex’s payment rails, the collaboration targets broader day-to-day adoption of blockchain-based payments.

Wirex said all steps, from stablecoin conversion to final settlement, take place on TRON, aiming to provide transparency, speed and negligible fees.

Users retain control of their assets, with Wirex supplying payment connectivity rather than custody.

The integration connects TRON’s on-chain ecosystem to Visa’s network of over 80 million merchants and to banking rails in more than 130 countries.

It is also built to support automated on-chain activity by AI agents and autonomous applications.

According to Wirex, the tie-up expands TRON-based digital assets into use cases such as payments, payroll, invoicing and commerce.

Wirex co-founder Pavel Matveev said: “This integration brings TRON one step closer to mass adoption.

“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.”

Last year, Wirex rolled out its stablecoin payment platform, Wirex Pay, in the US.
