Bitget Wallet partners with Paydify to enable stablecoin payments

Bitget Wallet becomes the first digital wallet to integrate itself with Paydify, allowing users to make stablecoin payments at select physical and online merchants. According to the press release sent to crypto.news, the non-custodial crypto wallet has partnered with crypto payment service Paydify to facilitate stablecoin payments. The integration enables merchants to accept stablecoin payments from users via the Paydify platform. Through the integration, users will be able to pay using Tether ( USDT ) and USD Coin ( USDC ) at select physical and online merchants via Paydify. Merchants receive instant settlement in stablecoins without needing to create an account on a separate crypto exchange or Bitget itself. So far, the integration has processed thousands of transactions during its testing phase. With a goal to onboard more than 10,000 merchants globally, users will soon be able to make stablecoin payments across industries such as retail, travel, hospitality, gaming and e-commerce. As the partnership extends to more merchants, Paydify also aims to expand token support and compatibility with additional wallets, with hopes of one day enabling payments in any token on any chain.

COO of Bitget Wallet, Alvin Kan highlighted the partnership’s goal to facilitate crypto payments for more than 10,000 merchants all over the world in the next few years.

Our aim is to offer a seamless and reliable framework for digital asset payments that meets the needs of both users and businesses,” said Luk.
