Bitget Wallet launches crypto-linked Mastercard with Immersve to enable global crypto payments

Bitget Wallet has partnered with Mastercard and blockchain infrastructure provider Immersve to introduce a new crypto-linked card designed to simplify real-world crypto payments. The card, which links directly to a user’s digital wallet, enables payments at more than 150 million merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard.

The product marks a major step in bringing blockchain assets into mainstream financial use. The Bitget Wallet card will support real-time funding through onchain swaps and deposits and will be accessible via the Bitget Wallet app. Using Mastercard’s Digital First technology, users can apply and instantly activate the card digitally, adding it to their mobile wallets for both online and in-store use.

Onchain settlement with global reach

Transactions are powered by Immersve, a Mastercard-licensed issuer, and are settled through crypto to fiat conversion in real time. The system complies fully with Mastercard’s regulatory requirements, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols. The card will initially launch in the United Kingdom and European Union, with future plans to expand to Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand.

Bitget Wallet, which has over 80 million users globally, is positioning the card as a bridge between self-custodied digital assets and daily spending. Additional features include transaction-based rewards, wallet yield on idle funds, and bonuses for completing identity verification.

Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, noted the card’s practicality. “Crypto payments should be as seamless and secure as traditional transactions. With this partnership, Bitget Wallet users can now pay with crypto anywhere Mastercard is accepted.”

Scott Abrahams, executive vice president of Global Partnerships at Mastercard, added, “Digital wallets are quickly becoming as ubiquitous as email addresses. We’re committed to working with innovative companies like Bitget Wallet and Immersve to make crypto transactions simple, secure, and accessible at scale.”

Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve, emphasized the larger vision: “We’re bridging the gap between Web3 and traditional finance, allowing users to spend crypto as easily as they spend fiat—on a global scale.”
