Bitget Wallet users can spend USDC and USDT from a self-custody wallet.
To encourage adoption in Latin America, QR Pay verification is activated on May 21.
Bitget Wallet, the wallet for on-chain finance, has expanded QR payments in Latin America, taking the use of self-custody cryptocurrencies beyond Brazil to Argentina, Colombia and Bolivia.
Working with local regulated partners, Bitget Wallet integrates national QR systems across the region, allowing users to pay from their wallets while merchants receive settlement via existing local rails. The deployment complements the previous launch of Bitget Wallet Card in the region, expanding stablecoin payments towards local QR-based commercial environments.
A leap into everyday use: QR payments from Bitget Wallet
The expansion is supported by the previous integration of Pix in Brazil and expands coverage towards Transferencias 3.0 in Argentina, Bre-B in Colombia and QR Simple in Bolivia. Users can spend USDC and USDT directly from a self-custody walletwithout the need to previously convert the assets on an exchange or manually perform the conversion to local currency.
The service is compatible with major blockchain networks and everyday payment scenarios, such as restaurants, stores, daily purchases, and person-to-person transfers.
Latin America has established itself as one of the most active regions in digital payments and use of stablecoinsdriven by mobile-centric consumer behavior, demand for cross-border payments, and interest in dollar-pegged assets. The region is estimated to have received around $1.5 trillion between July 2024 and June 2025, as instant payment systems continue to deepen digital transactions in retail.
This trend reflects the growing convergence between real-time payments networks and stablecoin activity, especially in markets where users are looking for simpler access to usable digital dollars.
The advance of Bitget Wallet in Latin America
“Latin America is one of the clearest examples of why stablecoins need to go beyond trading and become a financial tool for daily use.“said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet.”Many users already hold digital dollars for savings, payments and cross-border transactions. Connecting those assets with familiar QR payment systems makes them more convenient for local commerce, while self-custody keeps control in the user’s hands.”he added.
The expansion is driven by Onchain Payments Matrixa payments infrastructure that connects blockchains, stablecoin issuers, wallets, banks, card networks and regional payment partners. Through Matrix, Bitget Wallet works with local partners to integrate home QR systems, maintaining a user experience based on self-custody, as part of its goal to make stablecoins usable in both online and offline commerce.
To support adoption and user education, Bitget Wallet will open access to QR Pay verification on May 21followed by an activation alongside Stellar from May 28 to June 30. The initiative is focused on helping users complete their first QR payment and understand how self-custody stablecoin payments work in local commercial environments. Eligible users will be able to receive cashback during the activation period.
