Alvin Kan, Bitget Wallet’s COO, credits the wallet’s growth to the launch of Bitget Wallet Token (BWB) in March 2024, which boosted user engagement and trading volumes. The wallet now has 30 million users, with notable growth in Italy, Australia, and Sweden.

Despite Bitget Wallet’s success, some crypto users noted MetaMask’s established presence, with many already having it installed, while others pointed out issues with MetaMask’s mobile app experience.
