Bitget Wallet, in partnership with Taiko, has announced the global launch of its zero-fee crypto debit card across more than 50 countries and territories, marking a significant step in enhancing stablecoin utility for daily payments. The card supports major stablecoins including USDT, USDC, and USDS, and offers fee-free transactions for up to $400 in monthly spending, with enhanced limits for MOEW card holders.
Rolling out in Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Brazil, the card leverages Visa and Mastercard networks for seamless global acceptance. It eliminates FX markups, top-up charges, conversion spreads, and slippage, automatically refunding these costs to ensure settlements track real-time Google FX rates. This addresses long-standing pain points in crypto payments, where hidden fees typically range from 1.5% to 7%.
Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the innovation: "Our goal with this card is to make stablecoin payments truly frictionless. By removing fees and hidden markups globally, we're bringing stablecoins closer to the experience people expect from everyday digital money — fast, predictable, and usable anywhere."
Operating on Taiko's Ethereum Layer 2 network, the card ensures fast transactions and low gas fees, positioning it as part of a broader payment suite that includes QR payments integrated with systems like PIX and VietQR, an in-app shop, and bank transfers. This multi-rail approach aims to create a flexible environment for stablecoin spending, adapting to regional infrastructures and use cases.
