- Bitget Wallet surpassed 100 million users as daily payment activity overtook trading activity.
- Bitget Card spending reached $31 million in H1 2026, driven by growth in emerging markets.
- Bitget Wallet COO says users increasingly treat stablecoins as digital dollars for daily transactions.
Bitget Wallet has surpassed 100 million users worldwide amid a significant shift in how people use the platform. For the first time, more users are making daily payments than using the wallet primarily for trading.
According to Bitget Wallet, more than half of the wallet’s users are now based in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In these regions, stablecoins are used to save money, receive salaries, and pay for everyday purchases.
Card Payments See Growth
Bitget Wallet’s expanding payment ecosystem has also driven strong growth in card usage, as the company said it has issued more than 150,000 Bitget Wallet Cards. The cards are available in over 50 markets and accepted by more than 150 million merchants worldwide.
Card spending reached $31 million in the first half of 2026. That represents a 191% increase from the second half of 2025. Growth was even stronger in emerging markets, where spending rose 416% over the same period.
Users completed an average of 10 card payments per month globally, with an average transaction value of $28. According to the company, this suggests the cards are increasingly being used for everyday purchases instead of occasional crypto spending.
Active users in the United States, Europe, and Asia averaged between 10 and 14 monthly transactions. Meanwhile, card adoption in Latin America continues to accelerate from a smaller base.
Emerging Markets Fuel Everyday Crypto Use
Bitget Wallet said the rise in payment activity is due to economic conditions in several developing countries. The company noted that Nigeria’s naira lost more than 40% of its value against the U.S. dollar during 2024. Argentina’s peso recorded a similar decline.
At the same time, traditional remittance services into both countries still charge roughly 5% to 8% per transfer on average.
Bitget Wallet said Nigeria and Argentina have become two of its fastest-growing markets. The company believes more users are turning to stablecoin-based accounts to preserve value and move money across borders.
In Southeast Asia and South Asia, mobile payment infrastructure is already widely established. Bitget Wallet said its QR payment features and bank transfer integrations fit naturally into existing payment habits.
COO: Crypto Is Becoming Invisible
Bitget Wallet Chief Operating Officer Alvin Kan said the latest data suggests users no longer see the product primarily as a crypto wallet.
Instead, many users now treat their balances like digital dollars. They use them to receive money, make payments, and send funds internationally, while blockchain technology works quietly in the background.
Kan added that payment habits emerging in developing markets today could help shape the future of global finance.
Bitget Wallet Expands Beyond Trading
Bitget Wallet said its platform has evolved significantly since launching eight years ago as a trading-focused crypto wallet.
Over the past two years, the company has expanded its payment infrastructure. It now offers card issuance in more than 50 markets, QR payment rails across Southeast Asia and Latin America, and direct bank integrations in countries including Nigeria, Mexico, and Bangladesh.
The company also highlighted its Onchain Payments Matrix. The network now connects more than 80 payment rails across over 100 currencies and has processed more than $177 billion in stablecoin settlement volume.
According to Bitget Wallet, the expansion supports its broader goal of making on-chain payments part of everyday finance.
