Crypto Card Meets Local QR: Bitget Wallet Turns Stablecoins Into Everyday Money Across Latin America
San Salvador, El Salvador - May 23, 2026 - Bitget Wallet today expanded native QR crypto payments from Brazil into Argentina, Colombia, and Bolivia, connecting the region's largest instant payment rails - Transferencias 3.0, Bre-B, and QR Simple - directly to stablecoins held in self-custody.
Latin America received roughly $1.5 trillion in crypto value between July 2024 and June 2025, with a growing share held in stablecoins for savings, remittances, and payroll. Yet most users still need to off-ramp through an exchange to spend locally - a gap the new QR integration closes.
The Crypto Card Covers Online and Cross-Border Spending
The Bitget Wallet Card, launched earlier in the region, lets users spend USDC and USDT online and across borders wherever major card networks are accepted. It addresses the global side of stablecoin payments - subscriptions, e-commerce, travel - and remains the core crypto card product for users who need dollar-denominated spending power outside their home market.
QR Pay Closes the Local Retail Gap
The new QR integration extends that same stablecoin balance into offline, everyday commerce. Users pay merchants directly through national QR systems - Pix, Transferencias 3.0, Bre-B, and QR Simple - with no exchange off-ramp and no manual conversion. The merchant settles through the local rail they already use; the user keeps full self-custody.
Together, the card and QR form a complete spending stack: one self-custodial wallet, one stablecoin balance, covering both online card rails and offline QR retail - a setup that makes Bitget Wallet one of the best crypto card and wallet combinations available in LatAm today.
"Stablecoins need to move beyond trading and into daily financial use," said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. "The card handles online and cross-border payments. QR brings the same balance into local commerce - without giving up self-custody."
Powered by the Onchain Payments Matrix
Both products run on Bitget Wallet's Onchain Payments Matrix, the connective layer between blockchains, stablecoin issuers, wallets, banks, card networks, and regional partners - positioning it as one of the most localized top crypto card and payment stacks in emerging markets.
QR Pay verification opens to eligible users on May 21, followed by a joint activation with Stellar from May 28 to June 30 offering cashback for first QR payments. Visit the Bitget Wallet website to learn more: https://web3.bitget.com/en
