Arx Research introduces Burner Terminal, a POS device for stablecoin payments available in 2026.
Revolution in payments: Burner Terminal for stablecoins starts now!
On November 6, 2025, Arx Research announced the Burner terminal introduced, an innovative point-of-sale (POS) device specifically designed for stablecoin transactions. This terminal offers a modern payment solution, allowing users to make stablecoin payments via NFC-powered tap-to-pay as well as traditional EMV card transactions.
The Burner Terminal supports USDC and USD II payments on the Base platform and enables gas-free transfers. This means that there will be no additional fees for transactions made under this new payment method. Another important feature is the so-called offramp, which allows users to transfer their stablecoin earnings directly to a linked bank account.
Functionalities of the Burner Terminal
When accepting payments, merchants simply need to enter the sales amount. Customers then have the option to pay either via the Burner wallet via tap, by scanning a QR code or traditionally with a credit card. The transactions are automatically processed from the buyer's wallet to the merchant's wallet, resulting in direct settlement of the funds into the merchant's onchain wallet.
Initially, only the Burner wallet will support the NFC tap function, but Arx plans to open this interface to other mobile and hardware wallets as well. The terminal will hit the market in the first half of 2026 and is announced for under $200. It offers both WiFi and cellular connectivity and comes with a built-in battery that increases portability.
Future outlook and market integration
Arx Research has already announced plans to expand Burner Terminal to include support for additional digital assets and networks in 2026. With optional EMV support for Visa and Mastercard, the company aims to connect both the crypto and traditional payment systems and facilitate access to cutting-edge payment solutions.
The official presentation of the Burner will take place at the upcoming Devcon in Buenos Aires, where the company plans to demonstrate the possibilities of this technology. The introduction of Burner marks a significant step in the integration of stablecoins into everyday payments and shows how innovative technologies can transform the payments landscape.
