Bitget Wallet, a prominent player in the non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet sector, has announced a strategic partnership with Mercuryo, a leading payment infrastructure platform. This collaboration introduces a new feature that allows users to make instant purchases of over 40 cryptocurrencies directly within the Bitget Wallet using various payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, credit and debit cards, and other digital payment options. The integration of Mercuryo’s streamlined payment infrastructure enables users to execute transactions with just a few clicks, enhancing the user experience.
This partnership signifies a significant advancement for Bitget Wallet as it aims to serve as a comprehensive gateway to cryptocurrency. By embedding the capability for fiat-to-crypto purchases directly within its mobile application, the wallet allows users to engage in a simplified and expedited buying process. Users can conduct transactions with a fast-track flow designed specifically for smaller purchases, supported by over 40 fiat currencies and more than 10 payment options, including Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, as well as Digital Wallet solutions like Revolut Pay, SEPA, and PIX.
To promote this new feature, Bitget Wallet is currently offering a limited-time promotion for new users, allowing them to purchase their first 100 USDC without any fees, at rates that reflect the mid-market values available through Google. This offer comes at a time when there is increasing demand for stablecoins as viable instruments for payments, remittances, and savings. USDC, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar and issued under Circle’s compliant framework, has emerged as a prominent entry point for individuals venturing into the world of digital assets.
Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the growing importance of stablecoins in facilitating interactions with cryptocurrency. “Stablecoins are becoming essential to how people interact with crypto,” he noted. “This initiative makes it simple for new users to buy their first 100 USDC directly in the wallet and start exploring its features. By offering a transparent, one-click purchase flow, our partnership with Mercuryo reinforces our mission to make crypto practical for everyone.”
Petr Kozyakov, Co-Founder and CEO of Mercuryo, expressed optimism about the collaboration, mentioning, “We’re delighted with the launch of this discount offer for USDC on Bitget Wallet and anticipate great interest from the wallet’s growing user base.”
In addition to these developments, Bitget Wallet is continuously expanding its functionalities. The recent introduction of fiat withdrawal options allows users to cash out their cryptocurrencies directly to their bank accounts. These enhancements are aimed at integrating digital assets into everyday financial practices while maintaining the principles of self-custody, further solidifying Bitget Wallet’s commitment to user empowerment and accessibility in the cryptocurrency space.
