South Africa-based crypto firm Bitget Wallet has officially launched Bitget Wallet Card in selected Asia-Pacific markets including Malaysia, expanding its crypto payment offering to one of the world’s most dynamic regions.

The firm said in a statement on Wednesday that the launch comes as Asia-Pacific has emerged as the fastest-growing crypto market globally, with onchain activity rising 69 percent year-over-year to $2.36 trillion.

The region has become a hub for both institutional stablecoin adoption and retail payments, with Southeast Asia driving remittance flows and developed markets like Japan and Australia demanding transparent, cost-efficient payment solutions.

By combining Bitget Wallet’s self-custodial reach and global partner payment rails, the Bitget Wallet Card is positioned to bridge blockchain-native assets with mainstream finance across the region.

“Launching the Bitget Wallet Card in Asia-Pacific is a pivotal milestone in our strategy,

“It strengthens our vision of combining self-custody, compliance, and real-world utility, giving users a single gateway to spend, save, and earn with digital assets,” said Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitget Wallet.

Bitget Wallet Card is designed to make crypto spendable in daily life by connecting self-custodied digital assets directly to Mastercard’s over 150 million merchants and Visa’s network of more than 200 countries.

Users can apply for the card through the Bitget Wallet app, receive instant approval via fully digital onboarding, and add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay for global acceptance.

Transactions are funded instantly through onchain swaps and deposits into USDT and USDC, while top-ups are free of charge.

Bitget Wallet, the non-custodial crypto platform, currently serves over 80 million users by offering a comprehensive suite of Web3 services.

The platform is designed to make crypto simple, secure, and accessible, integrating features like swaps, staking, market insights, a DApp browser, and crypto payment solutions.

It supports 130+ blockchains, 20,000+ DApps, and a million tokens, facilitating multi-chain trading through hundreds of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and cross-chain bridges.

All user assets are protected by a $300+ million user protection fund.
