Bitget Wallet Hits 100 Million Users, Nigeria Drives Stablecoin Growth

Bitget Wallet has reached a milestone of 100 million users worldwide, with daily payment users outnumbering traders for the first time. The self-custodial crypto wallet's growth is being driven by emerging markets, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia.

Nigeria plays a significant role in this trend, accounting for about 60% of all stablecoin inflows into sub-Saharan Africa since 2019. A June 2026 International Monetary Fund report found that the country's households and small businesses are driving these inflows, rather than institutional trading.

Bitget Wallet has introduced a direct bank transfer feature in Nigeria, allowing users to convert stablecoins like USDT and USDC into naira and settle instantly. This move is part of the company's effort to connect stablecoin payments directly to a country's banking system at scale.
