Wirex announced the latest addition to the company’s ecosystem: tGBP, a tokenised version of the British Pound Sterling.* „As of today (August 11, 2025), over 6 million Wirex users across 130+ countries can access and use tGBP directly in the Wirex app. Fully backed 1:1 by GBP reserves and issued by tGBP brings the stability of traditional finance into the fast, flexible world of Web3.” – according to the press release.
With this integration, Wirex users can: Buy, hold, and spend tGBP in the Wirex app; Convert between GBP and tGBP instantly with native mint/redeem support; Send and receive tGBP globally in just a few taps.
Soon, users will use tGBP for funding and payouts via Wirex Pay’s enterprise-grade infrastructure. Also, later this year, users will settle tGBP transactions on WirexPayChain, the company’s zero-knowledge Layer 2 blockchain.
„This is part of a broader partnership between Wirex and Tokenised GBP, focused on building real-world-ready infrastructure for digital money. Wirex and Tokenised GBP are also exploring the launch of a co-branded card programme, giving users a seamless way to spend tGBP anywhere Visa is accepted — online and in-store.” – the company said.
“We’re excited to partner with Wirex to make tGBP easily accessible to millions of users worldwide,” said Benoit Marzouk, CEO of Tokenised GBP. “This integration not only expands the global utility of tGBP, but also accelerates our mission to bring regulated, transparent and practical stablecoin infrastructure to businesses and consumers.”
“This partnership with Tokenised GBP reinforces our vision to build regulated, real-world-ready infrastructure for digital money,” said Daniel Rowlands, General Manager at Wirex Pay. “By integrating tGBP across both our custodial and non-custodial platforms, we are creating powerful new rails for compliant, programmable GBP on-chain.”
