Bitget's Pix Integration Paves Crypto's Path Into Brazil's Daily Life

Bitget Wallet, a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet, has integrated Brazil’s Pix instant payment system, enabling users to transact with stablecoins like USDT and USDC via Pix QR codes. This collaboration with local licensee Aeon allows consumers to spend stablecoins across major blockchains—including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Tron, Ton, and Base—while merchants receive payments in Brazilian reais. The integration, announced in late September 2025, marks a significant step in crypto adoption in Brazil’s $4.6 trillion retail payment ecosystem.

Pix, launched by Brazil’s Central Bank in 2020, has rapidly become the nation’s dominant payment method, processing 64 billion transactions in 2024 alone. With over 150 million users and millions of businesses relying on its 24/7, real-time settlement capabilities, Pix now facilitates transactions at a volume 80% higher than combined credit and debit card payments. Bitget Wallet’s integration allows users to bypass traditional banking intermediaries, enabling seamless crypto-based purchases at restaurants, retail stores, and peer-to-peer transfers.

The move aligns with Bitget’s broader strategy to expand crypto’s real-world utility in Latin America. In August 2025, the firm launched a zero-fee Mastercard-linked crypto card, enabling stablecoin spending at 150 million merchants globally. Additionally, the wallet supports QR-based payments via Solana Pay and regional integrations in Southeast Asia, underscoring its vision of universal crypto acceptance. Jamie Elkaleh, Bitget Wallet’s Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized that the Pix integration bridges global digital assets with Brazil’s robust payment infrastructure, stating, “Our vision is to give users the freedom to pay with crypto anywhere, anytime, without barriers”.

The integration also reflects growing stablecoin adoption in Brazil. Over 90% of the country’s crypto transactions involve stablecoins, primarily for cross-border payments. Bitget’s solution leverages this trend by enabling merchants to receive reais instantly while reducing exposure to crypto volatility. This approach mirrors similar initiatives, such as Bybit’s collaboration with Tether to expand crypto payments in Rio de Janeiro.

Bitget Wallet, with over 80 million users, offers a comprehensive suite of services, including token swaps, staking, DApp exploration, and multi-chain trading. Backed by a $300+ million user protection fund, the wallet emphasizes security and accessibility, supporting 130+ blockchains and millions of tokens. The company’s expansion into Brazil’s payment ecosystem underscores its “Crypto for Everyone” vision, aiming to integrate digital assets into daily life for a billion users.
