To celebrate the second birthday of The Wirex Token (WXT) the first native cryptocurrency on its platform, Wirex will give away 500 exclusive Terra Virtua vFlect NFTs, as well as up to $500,000 worth of cryptocurrency in promotions throughout June.

With a mission to empower everyone to have access to the benefits of crypto, Wirex are enabling their userbase of over 3.5 million to access the latest exciting application in blockchain technology. NFTs have gained considerable traction in the DeFi space recently due to their ability to verify ownership of assets and demonstrate transparency.

Between 7th-14th June, customers that upgrade to Premium or Elite on their X-tras programme will receive a code to unlock access to an exclusive, limited edition Wirex-branded vFlect from Terra Virtua, named WireXX and WireXY.

Both companies have a reputation for blockchain innovation. Terra Virtua are at the forefront of the ever-growing NFT space, developing an industry-leading entertainment focused collectibles platform utilising the latest in mobile and gaming technologies. Likewise, Wirex was the first company to create a crypto-enabled debit card and crypto rewards programme, Cryptoback™, that pays up to 2% rewards back in WXT for card purchases.

The giveaway has been created to celebrate the 2nd birthday of WXT, Wirex’s native token. Only last month, Wirex migrated 20% of its total supply of WXT tokens onto the Ethereum network, in a move to give holders easier access to the burgeoning DeFi sector.

Georgy Sokolov, Co-Founder and VP of Partnerships at Wirex, said that: “Our partnership with Terra Virtua comes at an important time for crypto fans globally, as NFT popularity soars. As a company that strives to exceed regulatory requirements, Terra Virtua were an ideal partner given their focus on licensing and intellectual property rights. It’s great that we’re able to give everyday users the chance to win an exclusive digital art collectible produced for WXT’s milestone and promote the value of NFTs beyond the art world.”

Terra Virtua’s CEO and Co-Founder, Gary Bracey, expressed that “I’m really pleased to announce that we are partnering with Wirex to celebrate the second anniversary of their WTX token. Terra Virtua is a pioneer within the NFT space - just as Wirex are in theirs, and so this is a natural fit for both brands as we continue to push boundaries and take our products to the mass market. Our vFlect items continue to soar in popularity, and I have no doubt that the Wirex customers will be just as excited about them as we are.“

WXT’s birthday celebrations will continue throughout June with the launch of other exciting promotional offers for Wirex customers worth a total of $500,000 in cryptocurrency, including:
• Sign-up and verification bonuses for new and existing customers
• Up to 2% Cryptoback™ on all crypto purchases made with credit or debit cards
• Wirex’s biggest refer-a-friend payout ever
Special rewards for deposits, transactions, card activations and WXT purchases
