Bitget Wallet & Mastercard Drop Game-Changer: The Ultimate Crypto Payment Card Just Went Live
Crypto meets plastic in the partnership nobody saw coming—Bitget Wallet and Mastercard just rewrote the rules of spending digital assets.
How it works: Swipe like traditional finance, but settle in Bitcoin. Finally, a use case for crypto that doesn't involve dodgy Telegram groups.
The fine print: Zero annual fees (for now), instant conversions, and—of course—those sweet, sweet cashback rewards in your choice of token. Because what's decentralization without a loyalty program?
Bankers hate this one trick: Cutting out three middlemen while adding more compliance officers than a Wells Fargo branch. Progress?
A Global Rollout Begins in the UK and EU
According to a press releasewith 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.
- 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.
