Bitget & Mastercard Launch New Crypto Card
Bitget joins Mastercard to launch a Bitcoin & crypto card, accepted at 150M merchants worldwide.
- Bitget and Mastercard unveil a new crypto-enabled spending card
- Card supports Bitcoin and various cryptocurrencies
- Accepted at 150 million merchants globally
Bitget, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a partnership with Mastercard to launch a new crypto spending card. This card enables users to hold and spend Bitcoin and other digital assets using Mastercard’s extensive global network. With acceptance at over 150 million merchants, this collaboration brings crypto closer to everyday spending than ever before.
How it Works for Users
When users make a purchase, their Bitcoin or other supported crypto is automatically converted into fiat currency (like USD, EUR, or local currencies) at the point of sale. This process happens seamlessly behind the scenes, so merchants receive traditional payment as usual. Cardholders experience the same convenience and reliability they would expect from any Mastercard—but with the added benefit of crypto integration.
Why This Matters for Crypto Adoption
This card marks a significant milestone in mainstream crypto adoption.
- Increased usability: Crypto is now usable at everyday locations like supermarkets, restaurants, and online shops.
- Greater liquidity: Users can unlock the value in their crypto holdings without needing to use an exchange first.
- Mass-market trust: Mastercard’s involvement adds credibility and shows institutional confidence in crypto’s future.
