Faster cross-border transactions

Stellar is a decentralized blockchain network built specifically to support financial products and services, with a focus on cross-border payments and digital asset transfers

By incorporating Stellar into its infrastructure, Bitget Wallet aims to take advantage of the network’s fast settlement speeds and low transaction costs.

The integration connects Stellar to multiple components of Bitget Wallet’s payment ecosystem, including crypto cards, QR-based payments, bank transfer integrations, and fiat on- and off-ramp services

This setup allows users to move digital assets more efficiently between blockchain networks and traditional financial systems.

Within a self-custodial wallet environment, the collaboration is intended to support several real-world financial use cases, including international transfers, merchant payments, and consumer cash-out options.

The rollout will occur in phases, with availability depending on regional payment integrations and local financial infrastructure.

Beyond payment functionality, the Stellar integration also extends to Bitget Wallet’s asset management and trading features. Users will gain access to the Stellar mainnet, allowing them to hold, transfer, and swap supported digital assets directly within the wallet.

To simplify onboarding for new users, the wallet plans to introduce automated distribution of Stellar Lumens tokens. This mechanism helps users meet Stellar’s account activation requirements and reduces friction when interacting with the network for the first time.

The integration also opens the door for expanded use of stablecoins within the Stellar ecosystem. Bitget Wallet has indicated plans to support additional real-world applications for stable assets such as USD Coin, allowing them to function not only as trading instruments but also as practical payment tools.

Stablecoin utility in payments

The partnership highlights the growing role of stablecoins in global financial infrastructure. Originally introduced as a bridge between volatile cryptocurrencies and traditional fiat currencies, stablecoins are increasingly used for payments, remittances, and settlement across financial platforms.

According to Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer of the Stellar Development Foundation, the integration enables Bitget Wallet to extend Stellar’s financial infrastructure directly into consumer-facing applications, broadening the real-world utility of stablecoins.

For Bitget Wallet, the integration aligns with its long-term goal of building a global payment architecture capable of linking multiple financial networks. The company describes this framework as the Onchain Payments Matrix, a system designed to coordinate liquidity and settlement across blockchains, card networks, and banking systems.

“Stablecoins are becoming operational components of the global payment system,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “Yet financial infrastructure remains fragmented across banks, card networks, and blockchains. We are building a global payment infrastructure — the Onchain Payments Matrix — that aligns settlement networks and liquidity so digital value can move more seamlessly between systems. The integration of Stellar strengthens this coordination layer and supports practical cross-border use.”

By integrating networks such as Stellar into its payment architecture, Bitget Wallet aims to reduce these barriers and enable smoother transfers between digital and traditional financial systems

The initiative reflects a broader industry trend toward interoperable payment networks that combine blockchain efficiency with existing financial services.
