Wirex says the addition of the assets is part of its determination to address real-world problems and give consumers more control over their funds.

Other DeFi-Based Assets Launching This Year
With this addition, it is now possible to buy, hold and trade more crypto assets on the Wirex platform using their contactless Wirex card which is available in 61 million locations worldwide.

DeFi is about accessibility, and Wirex simplifies user onboarding and uses digital assets.
More widespread adoption in DeFi spaces
