Bitget Wallet adds crypto purchase support for Apple Pay and Google Pay
Bitget Wallet now supports instant crypto asset purchases made through Apple Pay, Google Pay and credit cards through the Mercuryo payment platform. Users can now purchase crypto through various digital payment methods.
- Bitget Wallet is expanding its crypto purchase payment options to include Google Pay, Apple Pay, and others.
- The platform is collaborating with Mercuryo to allow more payment options on the platform.
According to the press release sent to crypto.news, Bitget Wallet has partnered with payment infrastructure platform Mercuryo to allow users to purchase more than 40 crypto assets directly through the wallet using Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.
In addition, users can also use cards issued through Visa or MasterCard, Revolut Pay, SEPA, and PIX to purchase cryptocurrencies directly through the wallet. The collaboration adds 10 more additional payment methods, broadening payment options to on-board new users onto the platform.
Aside from the major crypto assets, the collaboration between Bitget Wallet and Mercuryo puts special emphasis on pushing stablecoin adoption. For a limited time only, users will be able to purchase 100 USDC (USDC) without fees applied, at mid-market rates displayed on Google.
Bitget Wallet expands access to stablecoins
CMO of Bitget Wallet, Jamie Elkaleh, said that stablecoins are now an essential part of how people interact with crypto, especially new users that were previously part of web2. This is why the company decided to launch a campaign to draw in users through stablecoin offerings.
“This initiative makes it simple for new users to buy their first 100 USDC directly in the wallet and start exploring its features. By offering a transparent, one-click purchase flow, our partnership with Mercuryo reinforces our mission to make crypto practical for everyone,” said Elkaleh.
Stablecoins are now processing over $7 trillion in transactions annually, with some reports even citing the number to be $27 trillion in the past two years. This surge can be attributed to regulators from the EU to Hong Kong drafting frameworks to govern their use.
Aside from Mercuryo, the firm has also partnered with other payment infrastructures such as Paydify and MoonPay to provide support for stablecoin purchases directly through the digital wallet. These collaborations allow users to immediately pay in stablecoins to merchants through the digital wallet.
In the past, the platform has also introduced fiat withdrawal, allowing users to transfer crypto funds directly into bank accounts through the wallet. The move aims to make digital assets more practical for everyday financial transactions while giving users control over their holdings.
