Africa leads with a staggering 950%+ growth in Bitget Wallet users as the platform expands into real-world use cases across Trade, Earn, Pay, and Discover.
Bitget Wallet, the non-custodial wallet arm of global crypto exchange Bitget has revealed a major brand transformation as it evolves into a full-fledged onchain gateway for users worldwide. In a bold move aimed at mainstream adoption, Bitget Wallet is now doubling down on its new identity, backed by its soaring 300% year-over-year user growth and the launch of its global Crypto for Everyone initiative.
But nowhere has this momentum been more visible than in Africa, where Bitget Wallet recorded the fastest user growth globally at over 950%, outpacing even Europe (+367%) and the Middle East (+350%). As the continent continues to lead the world in grassroots crypto adoption and self-custody interest, Bitget Wallet’s explosive expansion underscores Africa’s growing appetite for real-world crypto utility.
“The role of wallets is evolving – it’s moving from a niche tool to one with real-world utility for everyday needs,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “This rebrand is part of a longer-term plan to make crypto accessible for everyone.”
A New Identity for the Everyday Crypto User
The wallet’s refreshed brand identity includes a new minimalist logo that symbolizes ease, direction, and inclusivity , reflecting Bitget’s mission to simplify Web3 for the masses. Under the motto Crypto for Everyone, the wallet is transforming into a go-to financial tool for daily needs, aligning with its vision of onboarding the next billion crypto users.
To back this ambition, Bitget Wallet is launching a $1 million community rewards program to drive awareness and engagement around the rebrand.
From Trading to Full-Stack Utility
Bitget Wallet’s expansion now includes four integrated pillars:
- Trade: One-click gasless swaps across 130+ blockchains, simplifying DeFi interactions
- Earn: Native staking and yield features to help users grow their holdings
- Pay: In-app purchases, QR code payments, and crypto cards for real-world spending
- Discover: Real-time analytics via the Alpha dashboard, token exploration tools, and curated insights
This evolution comes at a time when self-custody is not just a preference but a necessity in many regions. In places like Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, where inflation, currency devaluation, and limited banking access are pressing concerns, wallets like Bitget’s are emerging as lifelines for everyday finance.
“Bitget Wallet stands strong with the essence of crypto extending beyond our decentralized vision,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “We’re building a powerful tool that connects people to opportunity, wherever they are, whenever they need.”
Security, Onchain Finance, and Real-World Assets
Alongside its usability push, Bitget Wallet has also enhanced its security infrastructure with real-time risk monitoring and transaction screening. The wallet is preparing to support tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and gold, extending its reach beyond digital-native crypto assets.
The company says this positions the wallet not just as a crypto utility but a bridge to broader financial freedom, echoing trends across the global Web3 economy where wallets are becoming the new super apps.
Why This Matters to African Traders and Builders
Bitget Wallet’s aggressive growth in Africa highlights a deeper market signal: crypto is no longer a speculative niche, it’s becoming foundational to everyday finance. Whether it’s for remittances, yield farming, P2P payments, or simply storing value against volatile local currencies, African users are increasingly turning to non-custodial tools that offer autonomy and interoperability.
For traders and builders in the region, this growth opens up several opportunities:
- New token ecosystems emerging from Bitget integrations
- Partner campaigns offering airdrops and staking rewards
- Greater access to global markets via decentralized infrastructure
With its new direction, Bitget Wallet is making a clear bet, that the next wave of Web3 adoption will come from real-world users seeking utility, not hype.
