Global, 20 December 2024 – Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, and Web3 company, has announced a strategic partnership with Fiat24, a Swiss-regulated fintech company that develops modern banking solutions powered by blockchain technology. The collaboration focuses on exploring PayFi solutions for major cryptos like Ethereum (ETH) and Bitget Token (BGB), as well as stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC). This initiative aims to provide seamless, efficient, and secure payment solutions that bridge traditional and decentralized financial ecosystems.
Bitget has recently made significant progress in the PayFi space with the launch of services such as Bitget Pay and Bitget Card. Bitget Pay enables low-fee, instant crypto payments, while the Bitget Card allows users to seamlessly convert crypto into fiat for real-world transactions using a globally accepted debit card.
Fiat24, on the other hand, offers a regulated Swiss-based payment system to users across 65 countries and regions, providing access to a crypto-friendly Swiss offshore bank account paired with a Mastercard debit card. This blockchain-driven approach ensures transparency, security, and user ownership.
The partnership between Bitget and Fiat24 combines Bitget's comprehensive crypto ecosystem with Fiat24's innovative infrastructure. Together, they aim to expand the use cases for ETH, BGB, and stablecoins, driving accessibility and adoption of PayFi solutions globally.
"We are excited to collaborate with Fiat24 to advance crypto payments and simplify access to financial services for users worldwide, especially the unbanked," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "PayFi will be one of Bitget and BGB's long-term strategies and a key approach to enhancing the real-world impact of crypto assets. Together with our partners, we envision a future where crypto payments become the norm."
