Bitget Wallet Launches Zero-Fee Crypto Card
Bitget Wallet has announced a strategic collaboration with payments giant Mastercard and infrastructure provider Immersve to introduce an innovative crypto-linked card. This new product is designed to enable users to make payments directly from their digital wallets at over 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard. The partnership aims to significantly enhance the ease of use and efficiency within the crypto card space, bridging the gap between digital assets and everyday commerce.
Seamless Digital Application and Funding
The new crypto card will be readily accessible through the Bitget Wallet app, offering real-time funding capabilities via on-chain swaps and deposits. Leveraging Mastercard’s Digital First technology, users will be able to apply for the card entirely digitally and, within minutes, add it to their mobile wallets. This seamless integration allows for immediate use at both physical point-of-sale locations and online merchants, providing unparalleled convenience for crypto holders looking to spend their digital assets.
On-Chain Settlement and Regulatory Compliance
Powered by Immersve, which operates as a Mastercard-licensed issuer, transactions made with the card are settled on-chain through a crypto-to-fiat conversion process. Crucially, all transactions adhere strictly to Mastercard‘s comprehensive regulatory framework, including essential Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. The initial rollout of the card will target users in the United Kingdom and the European Union, with ambitious plans for subsequent expansion into Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand in the coming months.
Driving Real-World Crypto Utility
The launch of this card comes at a time of sustained interest in practical applications for cryptocurrency and concerted efforts by the broader payments ecosystem to integrate blockchain-enabled solutions into mainstream finance. Bitget Wallet, which boasts over 80 million users globally, is positioning this card as a key tool to extend the utility of self-custodied digital assets into everyday commerce. The product also offers optional incentives, such as transaction-based rewards, yield on idle balances within the wallet, and one-time bonuses for completing identity verification, further encouraging adoption.
Industry Leaders Emphasize Seamless Integration
Jamie Elkaleh, CMO at Bitget Wallet, highlighted the core vision behind the partnership: “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.” Scott Abrahams, Executive Vice President of Global Partnerships at Mastercard, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Digital wallets are quickly becoming as ubiquitous as email addresses. At Mastercard, we’re committed to working with innovative companies like Bitget Wallet and Immersve to make crypto transactions simple, secure, and accessible at scale.”
Bridging Web3 and Traditional Finance
Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve, emphasized their role in this groundbreaking collaboration, noting, “Partnering with forward-thinking teams like Mastercard and Bitget Wallet is exactly how we scale real-world crypto use. We’re bridging the gap between Web3 and traditional finance, allowing users to spend crypto as easily as they spend fiat—on a global scale.” This collective vision aims to dissolve the barriers between the decentralized Web3 ecosystem and conventional financial systems, making cryptocurrency a practical and ubiquitous payment option worldwide.
