Bitget Wallet has partnered with global payments giant Mastercard and Web3 infrastructure provider Immersve to launch a zero-fee crypto card. The product will allow users to spend their cryptocurrencies directly from their digital wallets at over 150 million Mastercard-accepting merchants worldwide.
The new crypto-linked card is available through the Bitget Wallet app. It allows users to fund their transactions in real-time by either depositing crypto or performing an on-chain swap. Integrated with Mastercard’s ‘Digital First’ program, the card can be issued instantly, added to mobile wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay, and used for tap-and-pay transactions at both online and physical stores.
All transactions are processed on-chain and converted from crypto to fiat in real-time using Immersve’s infrastructure. As a Mastercard-licensed issuer, Immersve ensures that all regulatory standards, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML), are fully met.
Global Rollout and Expanding Access
The card will initially launch in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Bitget has expansion plans targeting Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand in the coming months. The rollout aligns with the demand for real-world crypto utility and efforts to bridge decentralized finance with traditional payment systems.
“This partnership allows Bitget Wallet users to pay with crypto anywhere Mastercard is accepted,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO at Bitget Wallet. “We’re seeing massive demand for real-world crypto utility, and this collaboration provides the infrastructure to make that vision a reality.”

Incentives and User Benefits
Beyond fee-free spending, Bitget Wallet is offering a range of incentives, including:
- Transaction-based rewards
- Yield opportunities on idle wallet balances
- One-time bonuses for completing identity verification
How It Works: Real-Time Crypto Spending
The Bitget Wallet Card launches with support for USDC on the Base blockchain, offering fast and low-cost transactions. Users can instantly top up their cards from the Bitget Wallet, with funds available in real-time. At checkout, USDC is automatically and seamlessly converted to fiat via licensed partners.
Once issued, the card can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay within minutes for tap-and-pay convenience at any Mastercard-accepting merchant. The application process is fully digital, with 3-minute approval, requiring only basic KYC and a 10 USDC issuance fee. No credit checks or deposits needed.
While the card initially supports USDC on Base, it plans to expand to other stablecoins and high-liquidity assets on chains like Ethereum and Solana. Future asset support will be driven by user demand, payment relevance, and real-world utility.
Rewards and Strategic Edge
Early users benefit from a 5% cashback in BGB during the first month (limited to the first 2,000 cardholders).
The card offers a total cost of just 1.7%, no top-up fees, and the ability to earn yield by staking USDC. This makes it one of the most competitive crypto payment cards available today.
Bridging Web3 and Traditional Finance
In his remark, Immersve CEO Jerome Faury emphasized the significance of this partnership. Specifically, he said it bridges the gap between Web3 and traditional finance by allowing users to spend crypto as easily as they spend fiat, on a global scale.
