SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – In a significant strategic pivot, Bitget Wallet has transformed its platform into an all-in-one finance app, prioritizing payment functionalities in its user interface. This update comes on the heels of the wallet surpassing a remarkable 90 million users globally, indicating an evolving trend towards facilitating more frequent financial activities that extend beyond mere investment.
The redesign marks a crucial step as crypto wallets increasingly assert themselves not just as investment tools, but as multifunctional financial accounts that encompass spending, sending, saving, and money management. The shift is set against the backdrop of blockchain platforms steadily chipping away at traditional banking models, offering advantages such as quicker settlements, reduced fees, and access without geographical barriers.
This update introduces a utility-centric approach, driven by a noticeable rise in crypto payment activities. Recent statistics reveal that stablecoin transactions exceeded $10 trillion in 2025, while spending via major crypto card programs surged by 525% year-over-year. The introduction of a new Pay hub within the app’s main navigation aims to streamline the process, allowing users to access their funds and spend with minimal friction through a user-friendly, mobile-first design.
The Pay hub integrates various payment methods—crypto cards, QR payments, bank transfers, and in-app shopping—into a single cohesive flow. This positions Bitget Wallet as one of the few self-custodial platforms capable of supporting all leading crypto payment options in one place. Users can readily use their crypto globally through cards honored by Mastercard and Visa, or pay at local venues by simply scanning QR codes. For certain regions, stablecoin transfers to bank accounts are also supported, providing users unparalleled flexibility while maintaining control of their funds through self-custody.
At the heart of this update lies a refined interface designed to facilitate regular use. With the addition of features like the Dynamic Panel—an active notification system for real-time transaction updates—and Today’s View, which offers a summary of recent activities and common actions, the app’s layout enhances user experience by reducing the steps involved in managing finances.
Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the importance of this update, stating, “People are choosing onchain finance because it’s better aligned with how money needs to work in a digital economy today. Blockchain eliminates many issues associated with traditional finance, such as slow processing times and hidden fees. Our emphasis on intuitive design allows users to meet their everyday financial needs while leveraging the advantages of stablecoins and self-custodial wallets. By focusing on payments and simplifying the user journey, we’re evolving the wallet into a daily crypto account.)
The platform’s transition comes after a year marked by a significant shift towards everyday financial use in wallet applications. Data from Bitget Wallet shows that spending fueled by stablecoins and yield services dramatically outpaced trading activities, with card usage rising exponentially and subscription-based earning options expanding nearly tenfold. These developments highlight a growing phase of crypto adoption rooted in practical financial applications.
