Wyre was a crypto payments and fiat-to-crypto infrastructure company that shut down in early 2023 following a failed acquisition. Wyre's Twitter Score is 104 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of July 2026, ranking #7,653 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Wyre was founded by Ioannis Giannaros and built infrastructure enabling fiat-to-crypto payments for developers and businesses. In 2022, per Axios, Bolt agreed to acquire Wyre for approximately $1.5 billion in cash and stock, a deal Axios described as the largest non-SPAC acquisition of a crypto company at the time. On September 9, 2022, Axios reported that Bolt had walked away from the deal, with both companies stating they would remain independent while continuing their partnership.
Wyre did not recover from the collapsed transaction. On January 3, 2023, Axios reported that Giannaros had told employees the company would need to unwind the business over the next couple of weeks, while also telling Axios that Wyre was still operating but scaling back to plan next steps. The company's website subsequently returned a 503 Service Unavailable response, consistent with Wyre no longer operating a normal public web presence. Wyre had previously been affiliated with Bolt.
