Episode Six and Fireblocks launch unified payments platform

November 11, 2025

Episode Six, a leading provider of modern payments infrastructure, has joined forces with Fireblocks, a global leader in secure digital asset custody technology, to co-develop a unified payments solution.

By combining Episode Six’s enterprise-grade ledger and card issuing technology with Fireblocks’ secure blockchain and digital asset platform, the unified solution allows banks, FinTechs, and corporations to issue, fund, and process multiple asset classes within a single, integrated system.

The new unified payments solution brings together Episode Six’s payments infrastructure and Fireblocks’ custody and blockchain connectivity. This integration supports fiat, stablecoins, loyalty points, and other digital assets—giving institutions the ability to manage and transact across asset classes securely and efficiently.

By leveraging the Fireblocks Network, which connects over 120 blockchains and 35 digital asset exchanges, the platform enhances interoperability while maintaining robust compliance and security standards.

The platform will support both pre-funded and credit-based payment models, allowing financial institutions to tailor offerings for customers—ranging from instantly funded wallets to traditional credit products. Additional capabilities include instant virtual card creation, programmable stablecoin issuance, and seamless integration with core banking systems.

Episode Six CEO and co-founder John Mitchell said, “Financial institutions are increasingly looking for ways to connect the worlds of fiat and digital assets without the complexity of running parallel systems.

“By working with Fireblocks, we’re delivering the infrastructure to make that vision a reality. Our unified payments solution enables programmable, multi-asset transactions with the same reliability and compliance standards banks expect from traditional payments—whether pre-funded, credit-based, or digital asset-backed.”

Fireblocks SVP payments and network Ran Goldi said, “The financial landscape is evolving faster than ever, and institutions need infrastructure that’s not just secure and scalable—but adaptable to what’s next. This collaboration is about giving them the tools to innovate confidently, whether they’re launching tokenized products, streamlining treasury operations, or reimagining how value moves across networks.”
