Gnosis Pay now supports Celo, bringing institutional-grade card infrastructure to the blockchain where stablecoin payments already happen at global scale. To date, Celo has facilitated 200 million stablecoin transactions and exceeded $565 million in transaction volume in the past 30 days — all with sub-cent fees and 1-second finality.
Gnosis Pay is the infrastructure behind some of the most widely used stablecoin card programs in crypto, processing $131 million in card spend in 2025. Their platform enables instant Visa card issuance with built-in KYC/AML compliance, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA, and personal IBANs — all backed by self-custodial Safe accounts. That infrastructure is now available on Celo.

The integration enables developers and fintechs to build card-linked stablecoin products on the network with the deepest real-world payment activity in crypto.
“Gnosis Pay opens a direct path between stablecoin holdings and real-world spending, aligned with the Celo ecosystem’s work to make crypto useful in daily life,” said Marek Olszewski, Celo Core Co. CEO and Celo co-founder. “Gnosis Pay’s support for Celo furthers our work building payment rails that reach real users, expanding the utility of stablecoins for everyday commerce. And this is just the beginning.”
“Expanding to Celo is a first step in bringing Gnosis Pay’s self-custodial cards to more blockchains, starting with one of the most active stablecoin ecosystems in crypto,” said Friederike Ernst, co-founder and COO, Gnosis. “This integration solves the last-mile problem of actually spending stablecoins, and brings that solution to partners and markets where Celo already has deep roots.”
