Crypto wallet MetaMask has been planning to stop services of Wyre crypto payment platform amid Wyre’s shutdown reports.
MetaMask in a tweet wrote that it has removed Wyre from its mobile aggregator, which allows users to buy crypto directly through its digital wallet.
“We're currently working on extension removal and appreciate your patience,” MetaMask said.
MetaMask still supports a wide number of other payment gateways, including Transak, MoonPay, and Sardine (US only).
The payment services are available on Apple Pay, bank cards and transfers, MetaMask noted.
The announcement comes soon after Wyre CEO Ioannis Giannaros reportedly announced that the firm is going to soon shutdown operations.
Wyre, founded in 2013 in San Francisco, is a major crypto payment firm that came close to being acquired for $1.5 billion last year.
