Wirex BaaS delivers non-custodial card issuance, IBAN banking rails, and real-time crypto-to-fiat conversion — enabling EVEDEX traders to spend their earnings at 80+ million merchants worldwide

LONDON, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wirex, a full-stack crypto card issuer and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider, today announced it is powering the launch of the EVEDEX Card — a non-custodial debit card that gives traders on the EVEDEX hybrid exchange the ability to spend their crypto holdings anywhere in the world, instantly and without giving up self-custody.

EVEDEX is a next-generation hybrid cryptocurrency exchange built on a proprietary Arbitrum Layer 3 infrastructure, combining the speed and liquidity of a centralised exchange with the transparency, security, and self-custody principles of a DEX. With features including perpetual futures trading with up to 100x leverage, spot trading, P2P transactions, copy trading, AI-powered tools, and a built-in education centre, EVEDEX is rapidly building towards becoming a fully-fledged decentralised financial ecosystem for traders worldwide.

Until now, one piece was missing: the ability to turn trading profits and crypto holdings into real-world spending power — instantly, without bridging to a separate platform or compromising asset control. The EVEDEX Card, powered by Wirex BaaS, closes that gap.

Wirex BaaS: One Integration, Complete Infrastructure

Through a single API integration, EVEDEX gains access to Wirex's complete BaaS stack:

  • Non-Custodial Card Issuance — Virtual and physical debit cards enabling EVEDEX users to spend directly from their crypto balances, with Apple Pay and Google Pay integration. Users retain full control of their assets throughout.
  • Real-Time Crypto-to-Fiat Conversion — Instant conversion at the point of sale across all supported assets, with zero prefunding requirements. Traders can move from a closed position to a card payment in seconds.
  • EUR & USD IBAN Accounts — Named virtual IBANs with SEPA Instant and Faster Payments connectivity, enabling fiat on/off-ramping across 30+ countries.
  • Unified Balance Management — A streamlined experience that brings together trading balances, stablecoin holdings, and fiat in one place, directly accessible via card.
  • DeFi Yield with Enterprise Controls — Integrated yield opportunities on idle balances with full compliance and risk management built in.

By partnering with Wirex BaaS, EVEDEX avoids the complexity of building payment infrastructure from scratch — no separate card issuers, banking partners, or compliance frameworks to navigate. The result: a globally accepted debit card for EVEDEX traders, live in weeks rather than months, with users maintaining self-custody throughout.

"Our BaaS platform exists so that builders like EVEDEX can focus on creating exceptional trading products instead of getting bogged down in payment infrastructure," said Daniel Rowlands, General Manager, Onchain Finance at Wirex. "EVEDEX has built something genuinely impressive — a hybrid exchange that gives traders the best of both CEX and DEX worlds. With Wirex BaaS, they now have the final piece: a card that lets their users spend what they've earned, anywhere in the world, without ever losing custody of their assets. That's what full-stack BaaS makes possible."

"EVEDEX was built on one belief: that traders deserve full control — over their funds, their positions, and their financial lives," said Vlad Komissarov, CEO of EVEDEX. "The EVEDEX Card powered by Wirex BaaS is the natural extension of that philosophy. Our users can now trade on one of the most powerful hybrid exchanges in the market and spend their earnings in the real world, instantly, without ever surrendering custody. This is what a complete decentralised financial ecosystem looks like."

The EVEDEX Card is accepted at over 80 million merchants across 130 countries, with Apple Pay and Google Pay support for contactless payments. The card will be available to EVEDEX users globally. Users can pre-order the EVEDEX Card at: https://exchange.evedex.com/debit-cards

Beben bei Thüringer BSW: Augsten räumt Fraktionsvorsitz

14.03.2026


In der Thüringer Landtagsfraktion des Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) steht ein Führungswechsel an. Fraktionschef Frank Augsten hat überraschend seinen Rücktritt angekündigt. Der 67-Jährige, der den Vorsitz erst seit Dezember 2024 innehatte, will das Amt in den kommenden Wochen an eine Nachfolgerin oder einen Nachfolger übergeben und die laufenden Geschäfte bis dahin noch weiterführen. Wer die Fraktionsspitze künftig übernimmt, ist nach Angaben aus Fraktionskreisen bislang offen.

Augsten begründete seinen Schritt nach übereinstimmenden Berichten aus Partei- und Fraktionskreisen mit persönlichen Gründen und dem Wunsch, sich wieder stärker seiner fachlichen Arbeit in der Landwirtschafts- und Umweltpolitik zu widmen. "Im Landwirtschaftsbereich brennt gerade die Luft", sagte der Agrarwissenschaftler mit Blick auf Betriebe, die wegen eines Streits mit der EU mit hohen Rückforderungen konfrontiert sein sollen. Für das BSW sitzt er im Landwirtschafts- und im Umweltausschuss und fungiert als agrarpolitischer Sprecher der Fraktion.

Der frühere Grünen-Politiker hatte bereits eine längere politische Laufbahn hinter sich, bevor er 2024 zum BSW wechselte. Zwischen 2009 und 2014 saß Augsten für Bündnis 90/Die Grünen im Thüringer Landtag und war zeitweise Co-Vorsitzender der Landespartei. Zwischen seinen Mandatszeiten arbeitete der studierte Agraringenieur unter anderem als Referatsleiter im Thüringer Landwirtschaftsministerium und später als kommissarischer Präsident der Thüringer Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft. Im BSW übernahm er den Fraktionsvorsitz, nachdem Katja Wolf im Zuge der Regierungsbildung Ministerin geworden war.

Die Personalie trifft eine Fraktion, die nach der Landtagswahl 2024 mit 15,8 Prozent der Stimmen aus dem Stand zur drittstärksten Kraft im Erfurter Parlament aufgestiegen war und bislang als vergleichsweise geschlossen galt. Das BSW ist Teil der sogenannten Brombeer-Koalition mit CDU und SPD. Das Bündnis unter Ministerpräsident Mario Voigt (CDU) verfügt mit 44 der 88 Sitze über keine eigene Mehrheit und ist deshalb immer wieder auf Unterstützung aus der Opposition von Linken und AfD angewiesen. Innerhalb der Koalition hatten zuletzt vor allem der Umgang mit AfD-Anträgen und die Frage, ob „inhaltlich gute Anträge“ der AfD in Fachausschüsse überwiesen werden sollen, für Spannungen gesorgt. Augsten hatte sich öffentlich für eine inhaltliche Prüfung solcher Vorlagen ausgesprochen, während insbesondere die SPD-Fraktion eine solche Linie ablehnt.
