Bitget Teams Up with Mastercard & Immersve to Launch Game-Changing Crypto Cards Across UK and EU

Crypto just got a major league payment upgrade. Bitget—the exchange you’ve been side-eyeing since that leverage mishap—is rolling out crypto-powered Mastercards in partnership with Web3 payment platform Immersve. No more awkward bank transfers or praying for Lightning Network adoption.

Spend your Bitcoin like fiat? Check. Bypass traditional banking rails? Obviously. The cards will support multiple digital assets, though Bitget’s keeping mum on whether memecoins qualify (we see you, Shiba Inu maximalists).

Regulatory hurdles? Handled—well, mostly. The EU’s MiCA framework gives this some teeth, while the UK’s FSA watches from the sidelines with cautious optimism. Because nothing says ‘financial revolution’ like bureaucrats nodding slowly.

One cynical footnote: Now you can finally short your morning coffee—just convert your crypto to fiat at the worst possible exchange rate during a market dip. Progress!

Bitget taps into interest in practical crypto applications

The card arrives at a time when crypto payments are growing, driven by a growing supply of stablecoins. The crypto payments ecosystem also aims to connect to mainstream fintech solutions. 

“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,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO at Bitget Wallet. 

Bitget wallet reaches over 80 million users globally, offering self-custody for all assets. The card can apply those self-custodied assets for everyday commerce. Card holders will have optional incentives such as transaction-based rewards, yield for in-wallet balances, and a one-time KYC bonus. 

DeFi use cases revive Bitget usage stats

The recent revival of DeFi and decentralized trading boosted the use cases for Bitget wallet. The multi-asset wallet supports over 130 blockchains, 20,000 distributed apps and a million tokens. The wallet is also a trading hub, offering swaps across hundreds of available DEXs with seamless bridging. 

In 2025, Bitget also saw an inflow of older returning traders on Ethereum, far outpacing the volume of brand-new traders. The wallet was positioned to tap into the recovery of DeFi and the waves of new tokens and projects.

Bitget is also secured by an additional $300M user protection fund, in case of hacks or exploits. The wallet has already faced problems with flawed trading smart contracts, when hackers found a loop and exploited the VOXEL token, leading to losses of up to $100M. 

Currently, Bitget carries highly active swaps for TRON, with Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum and Solana also among the leading networks. The exchange sees over 30% of its swap traffic from BNB Smart Chain, booming due to the special campaigns and incentives.
