Abstract

Barcelona's telecom platform, Barça Mobile, will integrate a digital wallet into its mobile app, in partnership with Wirex, Crossmint, and the Stellar Development Foundation. Operated by New Era Visionary Group, the wallet will consolidate mobile services, payments, rewards, travel services, and other digital features within a single application. Wirex will provide the payment infrastructure, Crossmint the wallet infrastructure and user onboarding tools, and the Stellar blockchain will serve as the foundation for digital payments and cross-border transfers, enabling Barça Mobile to offer services globally. The wallet will not be a standalone product but will be embedded into the existing app, supporting the platform's goal of becoming a comprehensive global digital service hub.

Barça Mobile, the telecommunications platform of the football club Barcelona, will add a digital wallet to its mobile application. To create it, the company has entered into partnerships with Wirex, Crossmint, and the Stellar Development Foundation.

New Era Visionary Group, the official operator and technology partner of FC Barcelona, together with these companies, will undertake the development of the wallet's infrastructure. The service will integrate mobile communication, payments, bonuses, travel services, and other digital capabilities into a single application.

Wirex will provide the payment infrastructure, Crossmint will ensure the wallet's own infrastructure and tools for user onboarding, and Stellar will serve as the blockchain foundation for the wallet. The network will be used for digital payments and cross-border transfers, allowing Barça Mobile to offer services to users in different countries.

The wallet will not be a separate application or standalone product—it will be integrated into Barça Mobile. The project is part of Barça Mobile's plans to create a global digital platform. The company aims to unify telecommunications and digital services within a single application.

Raoul Pal: Why Has the Traditional Investment Portfolio Become Obsolete?

Raoul Pal argues that traditional investment portfolios (bonds, gold, real estate, index funds) are no longer effective for building real wealth. He posits that due to persistent currency devaluation from money printing (global liquidity expanding ~8% annually plus regular inflation), an investor needs an 11% annual return just to preserve purchasing power. He evaluates traditional assets: bonds fail as interest doesn't cover currency devaluation; real estate's historic wealth-creation window from falling rates is over; gold preserves purchasing power but doesn't create new wealth; and the S&P 500 barely meets the 11% threshold, relying on a historic bull market. The only assets consistently exceeding this benchmark, based on decade-long data, are technology stocks (NASDAQ 100: ~20% annualized) and crypto assets (Bitcoin: 58-70% annualized). Their outperformance stems from user adoption S-curves (Metcalfe's Law), not speculation. Pal explains that post-2008, traditional diversification lost its protective power because bonds, gold, real estate, and stocks are all now primarily driven by the same macro factor: liquidity. Thus, a diversified portfolio of underperforming assets offers false security. For crypto, he favors underlying protocols/L1 blockchains over applications, as they capture value from the entire ecosystem. A key, underappreciated future driver is AI agents, which will require programmable money and 24/7 settlement, a natural fit for blockchain. Key investment principles include: avoid leverage (it removes the ability to weather severe drawdowns), allocate a meaningful portion (not all) of capital to high-growth assets, and practice patience—"doing nothing" is a valid long-term strategy. The core opportunity cost is freedom. Returns below 11% annually mean your labor buys less freedom over time. The goal is to use this framework to audit your holdings, moving capital from assets that erode purchasing power to those with genuine compounding potential.
