Tria unveils a non-custodial feature that lets users top up their payment card directly from self-custodial Bitcoin wallets, with no custodial intermediary handling of funds.

New and existing users are guided to enable Bitcoin top-ups in-app, onboard, connect self-custodial wallets, and fund the Tria card with BTC while maintaining full asset control.

Tria stresses that users retain full custody of their Bitcoin; top-ups are signed and sent straight from the user’s wallet via a non-custodial smart contract system, with Tria never holding user funds.

CEO Vijit Katta frames the move as enabling global commerce with self-custodial assets, amid declining traditional banking access and growing demand for tools that fit modern financial needs.

The architecture emphasizes transparency and reversibility, supporting AI-driven financial automation and on-chain governance, while positioning Tria as a tool to hedge FX exposure, earn yield, access on-chain liquidity, and spend internationally without traditional FX rails.

The launch taps into global interest in alternative stores of value amid currency instability and growing multi-currency, on-chain financial infrastructure, including regions like Japan, the Eurozone, and parts of Asia.

The move responds to currency instability and rising demand for Bitcoin and stablecoins as part of a multi-currency, on-chain financial infrastructure.

Tria presents itself as a self-custodial neobank that unifies spending, trading, and earning across chains without bridges, gas, or custodians, highlighting its BestPath AVS interoperability.

As a non-custodial neobank, Tria aims to remove reliance on traditional banks and custodial intermediaries, enabling storage, FX hedging, yield earning, on-chain liquidity, and international spend.

Tria’s platform already supports over 1,000 liquid assets across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Optimism, now extended to Bitcoin via the self-custodial, top-up-based spending model.

This expanded asset support allows a diverse portfolio to use the same self-custodied, top-up-based spending model for Bitcoin as well.

Vijit Katta emphasizes empowering people to participate in global commerce with self-custody and a universally functioning card.

The update enables spending anywhere Visa or Mastercard is accepted without transferring assets to exchanges, lending accounts, or custodial services, preserving user BTC custody.

Users can retain control of their BTC and use the card on any Visa or Mastercard network, maintaining asset custody while enabling global spending.
