Bitget Wallet Teams Up with Mastercard to Launch Crypto-Powered Payment Card

Bitget Wallet has entered a strategic partnership with Mastercard and Web3 payment provider Immersve to launch a new payment card that allows users to spend cryptocurrencies directly from their digital wallets.

The move aims to accelerate real-world crypto adoption by merging traditional finance infrastructure with Web3 technology.

A Global Rollout Begins in the UK and EU

According to a press release shared with The Block, the card will be available first to users in the United Kingdom and European Union, with plans to expand to Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand in the coming months. The payment card is compatible with over 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard—both online and in-store.

Instant Access via the Bitget Wallet App

Users can obtain a digital version of the card through the Bitget Wallet mobile app. The product supports payments at both physical retailers and e-commerce platforms, allowing users to spend crypto without needing to convert funds manually into fiat beforehand.

Additionally, users will gain access to several incentives, including:

  • Transaction-based rewards
  • Yield generation on idle wallet balances
  • A one-time bonus for completing identity verification (KYC)
  • Pushing Crypto Into Everyday Transactions

Bitget Wallet’s Chief Marketing Officer Jamie Elkaleh emphasized the significance of the collaboration:

“Crypto payments should be as seamless and secure as traditional transactions. With this partnership, Bitget Wallet users can now pay with crypto anywhere Mastercard is accepted.”

Elkaleh added that growing user demand for practical, real-world use cases is driving innovation in the sector, and this new card delivers the infrastructure needed to bridge crypto with daily commerce.

A Broader Trend Toward Web3 Payment Solutions

The partnership follows a trend of major financial institutions exploring Web3 integration. Mastercard has been steadily expanding its digital asset initiatives, while companies like Immersve are building backend systems to enable on-chain payments that settle in fiat at point-of-sale.

With this card launch, Bitget Wallet positions itself at the forefront of the movement to make crypto usable beyond the blockchain—right at the checkout counter.
