Nel cuore dell'autunno 2025, mentre il codice sorgente di Bitcoin si assestava dopo l’arrivo della versione Core v30 , una proposta spuntata da un account pseudonimo ha spaccato in due la comunità. Parliamo della Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 444 (BIP‑444) : un documento tecnico, sì, ma con effetti politici e culturali. Non è una di quelle BIP che aggiungono feature o migliorano performance. No. BIP‑444 punta a vietare temporaneamente alcune forme di transazioni per limitare gli usi considerati impropri o pericolosi del protocollo Bitcoin. Ma cosa significa davvero “vietare” su Bitcoin?

Our native token and the world’s first crypto rewards programme join forces to help you get even more out of your Wirex account.
Owning WXT already gives you access to exclusive savings. Now, it also entitles you to supercharged Cryptoback™ every time you pay with your Wirex Visa card in-store. Depending on the number of Wirex Tokens in your possession, you could earn up to 1.5% back in Bitcoin for every tap, swipe or PIN entry!
WXT Power-up
Cryptoback™ is a ground-breaking rewards programme available to all Wirex customers with an active Wirex Visa card. When we launched it in 2018, it became the first rewards programme to pay out in cryptocurrency (BTC) for all in-store spending with the Wirex card. Cryptoback™ usually generates a generous 0.5% back on your purchases. However, if you own the right amount of WXT, you can turbocharge your Cryptoback™ rewards and earn up 1.5% on all in-store spending. Think of WXT as your own, personal Cryptoback™ power-up. Three levels of enhanced Cryptoback™ are available. Each tier is dictated by the amount of WXT you possess:

The Wirex Token
In case you’ve been marooned on a desert island for the last few months, we released the Wirex Token – our own, native token – at the end of June. After a sell-out pre-sale and successful Initial Exchange Offering (IEO), WXT is now available for purchase through Wirex, as well as on major exchanges like KuCoin, Huobi and OKEx. We designed the Wirex Token to be something that provides tangible value and benefits for holders beyond its market trajectory and token price. That’s why owning it allows you to get even more out of your Wirex account with discounted fees and enhanced rewards – plus much more on the way. You can learn more about the Wirex Token here.
