Bitget Wallet has celebrated a successful closure to 2025, showcasing a significant uptick in onchain activity, highlighting a transition in wallet utilization as it appeals to a broader array of users beyond just those focused on trading. The data collected over the year indicates that self-custodial wallets are increasingly emerging as multifunctional financial platforms that support not only trading but also everyday spending and asset management.
Over the year, onchain trading activity saw remarkable growth, with monthly swap trading volumes on Bitget Wallet surpassing $900 million—a stunning 232% increase compared to the previous year. This surge reflects users’ growing dependence on decentralized exchange routing to access a wider variety of assets across multiple blockchain networks. Similarly, the derivatives market underwent a notable expansion, reaching nearly $5 billion in monthly perpetual trading volume, which marks a staggering 291% year-on-year growth. The figures highlight a pivotal shift in the industry towards decentralized perpetual markets, evidenced by the tripling of the ratio between decentralized and centralized perpetual futures trading volume, which hit an all-time high of 18.7%.
As the year progressed, payments emerged as a more pronounced driver of wallet usage. The annual spending volume through the Bitget Wallet Card skyrocketed more than 28 times year-on-year, reflecting a wider trend in the retail adoption of stablecoins, which culminated in an estimated $46 trillion in global stablecoin transaction volumes for the year. The wallet’s functionality expanded to include various payment options, such as card-based spending, national QR payment systems, direct bank transfers in selected regions, and in-app crypto shopping. These enhancements underscore ongoing efforts to incorporate cryptocurrency into everyday retail and financial transactions.
Concurrently, there was a marked rise in the demand for onchain yield products. By the end of 2025, quarterly subscriptions for Bitget Wallet’s Earn products approached $200 million, which represents a more than tenfold growth since the beginning of the year. This increase was largely driven by offerings focused on stablecoin yields and collaborations with established decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. The climbing demand indicates a growing interest in stable, onchain returns amidst more cautious market conditions. Moreover, the broader decentralized finance landscape saw its total value locked in protocols reach approximately $161 billion in the third quarter, among the peak levels observed outside previous highs.
Commenting on the data, Bitget Wallet’s CMO stated, “The data from 2025 points to a clear shift in how wallets are used. They are increasingly functioning as everyday finance apps, where users trade, spend, and manage money directly onchain.” As 2026 approaches, Bitget Wallet plans to further institutionalize these trends by broadening payment accessibility, extending support for a wider variety of tokenized assets, and minimizing friction in onchain financial activities, emphasizing its growing importance in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency.
