San Salvador, El Salvador, 28 May, 2025 — Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, has released Onchain Report: Crypto Wallet Use Cases, a comprehensive study examining how real users interact with crypto wallets across generations and regions. The report follows Bitget Wallet’s recent brand identity refresh and unveiling of its 2025 roadmap, which centers on advancing its Everyday Crypto Wallet strategy to empower users to Trade, Earn, Pay, and Discover — all within a single application. The company recently surpassed 80 million global users, reflecting 300% annual growth and reinforcing its position as one of the most widely adopted self-custody wallets worldwide.
Drawing insights from 4,599 global wallet users, the report reveals that crypto wallets have evolved from simple tools for storage and transfers into full-featured gateways powering onchain life. Nearly half of all respondents use wallets for trading (48%), earning rewards (46%), and making payments (40%). Other major use cases include staking or farming for yield (37%), checking market trends (35%), and discovering new tokens (33%). Around one-third also use the wallet to interact with DApps directly. The research highlights strong engagement from Gen Z, particularly in crypto payments (43%), and captures distinct regional behaviors — from remittance-heavy usage in Africa and Southeast Asia to yield-focused strategies in Latin America and long-term holding in East Asia.
“People don’t just use wallets to store and send crypto anymore — they use them to live onchain. This report reinforces what we see across the globe — wallets have become the hub. Whether it’s sending money across borders, earning rewards, or checking market trends, users are engaging directly through wallets more than ever, where the future of Web3 is already happening.” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet.
This shift reflects a broader user preference for all-in-one wallet experiences, particularly in emerging markets where access to traditional financial services remains limited. In Africa, 53% of users say they primarily use wallets for sending funds, while in Southeast Asia, that number reaches 60%. These regions also show high engagement in rewards and payments, suggesting that wallets are increasingly used for day-to-day financial activity where fiat rails are limited or unstable. Latin America leads in yield-related use cases (41%), with users leveraging staking and farming features to hedge against inflation and grow savings in volatile economic conditions.
In more developed markets, wallet usage trends shift toward asset management and digital commerce. Eastern Europe stands out for crypto payments (41%), where wallets are being used for both peer-to-peer transfers and retail spending. East Asia shows the highest engagement in long-term holding (44%) and yield generation (42%), while Western Europe and North America are driven by trading and participation in onchain rewards programs, indicating greater alignment with portfolio-based and incentive-led usage.
These insights align closely with Bitget Wallet’s roadmap, which focuses on delivering a complete onchain experience across four core functions: Trade, Earn, Pay, and Discover. The platform has rolled out Super DEX for cross-chain swaps, Alpha for real-time token insights, and Simple Mode to simplify onboarding. Earn Vaults and dashboards are in development to support flexible yields for passive income. Bitget Wallet will also be the only self-custodial wallet to offer maximum payment flexibility via QR code scans, crypto cards, and an in-app shop enabling direct purchases from over 300 global brands including Amazon, Google Play, and Shopee.
With support for 130+ blockchains and a $300 million user protection fund, the platform continues to invest in seamless, secure, mobile-first tools that bring everyday utility to Web3. As part of its broader Crypto for Everyone Movement, Bitget Wallet is working with hundreds of ecosystem partners to drive adoption through education, product integration, and real-world utility. The initiative includes a $1 million campaign to incentivize wallet usage and onboard the next wave of users globally.
