Pay With Any Crypto? Bitget Wallet Takes a Big Step Towards Real Crypto Payments

Source Beincrypto

Bitget Wallet is giving more crypto assets a path into everyday payments as the self-custodial wallet expands support beyond major stablecoins and blue-chip tokens.

The update allows users to fund Bitget Wallet Card balances and make QR payments across more than 50 markets using supported onchain assets, including regional stablecoins, ecosystem tokens, and memecoins. 

Payment routing happens in the background, giving users access to spending from their current wallet balances with fewer conversion steps before checkout.

The first stage adds support for more than 40 tokens. The list includes BRZ, a Brazilian real-pegged stablecoin; XSGD, a Singapore dollar-pegged stablecoin; and meme coins like SHIB, PENGU, and BONK. Thousands of additional tokens across more networks are planned in the coming months.

More Onchain Assets Need Payment Utility

Crypto payments still use only a tiny slice of the onchain asset universe. CoinGate’s 2025 payment data shows that everyday crypto payments remain concentrated in a few assets. stablecoins, BTC, LTC, TRX, ETH, and SOL made up roughly 93% of all payment activity. 

That shows why ecosystem tokens, regional stablecoins, and community assets still struggle to move beyond trading, holding, or speculation into real-world payments.

Bitget Wallet’s latest expansion addresses this by connecting more user-held assets to card and QR payment channels. The product update gives users more flexibility at checkout while keeping the experience inside the wallet.

“Crypto should be as easy to spend as it is to hold,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet.

Kan said users should be able to spend crypto already in their wallets, rather than relying on a narrow list of assets selected by payment providers. He added that extending support to thousands of onchain assets is part of making self-custodial finance useful in daily life, including beyond storage and trading.

The rollout also shows how regional stablecoins could become more relevant in crypto payments. Dollar stablecoins dominate global liquidity, but local currency-pegged tokens can make wallet balances easier to use in markets where people earn, price, and spend in other currencies.

BRZ and XSGD give Bitget Wallet users examples of this model in Brazil and Singapore, while future additions could expand local currency coverage across more regions.

Bitget Wallet’s Onchain Payments Matrix

The rollout is powered by Bitget Wallet’s Onchain Payments Matrix, a payment engine connecting tokens, networks, and payment channels across more than 10 blockchains.

The system handles asset routing in the background, linking the token a user holds with the payment format needed for card funding or QR checkout. This removes several steps from the user journey and helps more assets enter daily payment use.

Polygon Supports the First Phase

Polygon Chain plays an early role in the expansion through support for BRZ and XSGD. Polygon Labs has spent recent years building payment-focused blockchain services for high-volume onchain value transfer, stablecoin use cases, and consumer applications.

Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, said Polygon Chain “was built for large payment volume” and described Bitget Wallet’s rollout as “part of turning held crypto into usable payment balances”.

Polygon’s involvement adds a major network partner to the rollout and gives regional stablecoins a payment path inside Bitget Wallet. As more assets join the system, network performance, transaction cost, and wallet distribution will influence how widely these payment options can be used.
