Bitget Wallet, a finance app, announces an expansion of its crypto card to South Africa. The card is positioned as a way for users to spend cryptocurrency directly from a self-custodial wallet during everyday transactions. According to the report, the card can be used at a large number of merchants worldwide, enabling purchases such as groceries, travel, and digital subscriptions. The service uses stablecoins, which are converted at the point of sale when payments are made, allowing spending in local or card-supported payment formats rather than requiring users to manually exchange assets beforehand.
The coverage describes the launch as an effort to connect digital asset holdings with daily commerce by providing a practical payment option linked to users’ own wallet custody. While details such as rollout timelines, eligibility requirements, or specific stablecoin types are not included in the provided excerpts, both sources agree that the expansion is focused on making the crypto card available in South Africa.
