Bitget Wallet Unveils Zero-Fee Mastercard Crypto Card in Brazil
On August 7, 2025, Bitget Wallet, a top player in the non-custodial crypto wallet scene, announced the launch of its new USD-based, zero-fee Mastercard crypto payment card in Brazil. This move marks their first step into the booming digital payments market of Latin America. Plans are already in place to extend this service to Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Guatemala in the coming months. Following this, there are also intentions to expand into the Asia-Pacific region later this year.
A Seamless Integration of Crypto and Traditional Payment Systems
In collaboration with infrastructure provider Immersve, this card empowers users to make purchases directly from their crypto wallets at over 150 million global merchants that accept Mastercard. Exclusively available through the Bitget Wallet app, the card can be issued instantly and fully digitally, thanks to Mastercard Digital First technology.
Users can quickly top up their cards with USDC, spend utilizing Apple Pay and Google Pay, and enjoy immediate crypto-to-fiat conversions. The best part? There are no fees for topping up or making USD transactions. This card is designed for those who hold stablecoins as a hedge against volatile local currencies, offering them a chance to earn up to 10% yield annually on idle balances while still being able to spend daily.
Why This Matters
For many, this card could serve as an alternative to conventional bank cards, especially for international payments, online shopping, and travel. With the ability to spend in USD directly from their wallets, users won’t need to rely on local banks or handle currency conversions.
“Latin America is one of the world’s most dynamic crypto economies, making it a natural next step for our global expansion,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. “With the Bitget Wallet Card, we’re unlocking real-world payments for millions of users across the region, helping crypto evolve from an investment asset into a usable currency.”
Partnership with Immersve
Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve, shared his enthusiasm: “Latin America’s crypto adoption is among the highest in the world, and we see this region as a proving ground for real-world blockchain payments. This partnership demonstrates how traditional payment rails and crypto wallets can work together to deliver seamless and scalable solutions for everyday spending.”
Bitget Wallet’s Broader Vision
Bitget Wallet, with a robust global user base of over 80 million, continues to expand its offerings under its PayFi strategy. Beyond the crypto card, the wallet also supports QR Scan-to-Pay, in-app purchases, and includes integrated yield products. The overarching goal is to build a comprehensive self-custodial platform that caters to spending, earning, and managing digital assets.
