Crypto just got smoother in Latin America. Bitget Wallet slings its zero-fee Mastercard into Brazil—turning digital assets into everyday spending power without the usual gouging.

No more fee bloodbaths. The card cuts through traditional banking like a hot knife, letting users swipe BTC, ETH, and more at millions of merchants. Because who needs middlemen skimming 3% off every coffee?

Latin America’s crypto adoption just leveled up. Brazil’s rollout marks the first domino to fall in the region—watch Argentina and Mexico scramble to keep up.

Mastercard’s leap into crypto payment services

In the past few months, Mastercard has been accelerating its dive into the crypto payments sector by launching services that integrate cryptocurrency such as stablecoins and other blockchain-based digital assets into its global payment infrastructure.

In fact, in early June, Mastercard predicted that the entirety of its transactions in the EU will be tokenized by 2030. The payment firm is aiming to completely abandon manual card transactions and completely tokenize its e-commerce transactions through the blockchain.

In April 2025, the company unveiled comprehensive stablecoin payment capabilities, enabling users and merchants to send, receive, and settle using stablecoins via partnerships with firms like OKX, Nuvei, Gemini, MetaMask, and Crypto.com.

In late June, Mastercard partnered with chainlink to make off-chain payments for on-chain crypto purchases, granting more than 3 billion users the ability to convert fiat-to-crypto directly through traditional finance combined with web3 infrastructure.
