Wirex Integrates tGBP, Bringing Regulated Tokenised GBP to 6 Million Users
LONDON, Aug. 7, 2025 – Wirex, a prominent figure in Web3 payments and digital finance, has announced its latest integration of tGBP, a fully backed, on-chain representation of the British Pound Sterling. This initiative makes it possible for over six million users across more than 130 countries to access and transact with a regulated, fiat-pegged digital pound, issued by a UK-based firm registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The listing of tGBP in the Wirex consumer app is part of a wider collaboration that includes infrastructure integration throughout Wirex Pay, the company’s enterprise-grade non-custodial stablecoin and banking platform.
“We are thrilled to partner with Wirex to make tGBP easily accessible to millions globally,” remarked Benoit Marzouk, CEO of Tokenised GBP. “This integration not only expands the global utility of tGBP but also speeds up our mission to provide regulated, transparent, and practical stablecoin infrastructure to businesses and consumers.”
tGBP is backed 1:1 by GBP reserves held by authorised custodians and managed under stringent operational and regulatory oversight. It is issued by a firm registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, seamlessly merging the trust and compliance of traditional finance with the programmability and accessibility of Web3.
“This partnership with Tokenised GBP solidifies our vision to build regulated, real-world-ready infrastructure for digital money,” expressed Daniel Rowlands, General Manager at Wirex Pay. “By integrating tGBP across our custodial and non-custodial platforms, we are establishing powerful new pathways for compliant, programmable GBP on-chain.”
Key Functionalities Introduced by tGBP Integration:
- Direct Mint/Redeem Integration: Wirex now supports native minting and redemption of tGBP, facilitating instant and transparent conversions between GBP and its tokenised counterpart, benefiting both users and businesses.
- Wirex Pay Integration: Soon, tGBP will be available as a funding and payout method across Wirex Pay’s non-custodial business infrastructure. This includes:
- Stablecoin-backed current accounts
- Corporate banking services
- Web3 BaaS offerings, such as card issuing and IBAN services
- WirexPayChain Expansion: Later this year, tGBP will be natively supported on WirexPayChain, Wirex’s proprietary zk-powered Layer 2 blockchain designed for efficient, low-cost stablecoin settlements.
- Card Issuance Collaboration: Tokenised GBP and Wirex are also exploring the launch of a fully branded card programme. This will enable consumers and businesses worldwide to use tGBP-linked cards powered by Wirex Pay’s infrastructure.
