Bitget Wallet Pioneers Crypto Integration with Vietnam’s National QR System
In a groundbreaking move for cryptocurrency adoption, Bitget Wallet has become the first self-custody crypto wallet to natively integrate with Vietnam’s national QR payment system, VietQR. This milestone allows users in Vietnam to seamlessly scan QR codes and make payments directly in cryptocurrency, bridging the gap between digital assets and everyday transactions.
Why This Integration Matters
Vietnam has emerged as one of the most crypto-friendly nations in Southeast Asia, with a rapidly growing user base. By supporting VietQR, Bitget Wallet enables:
- Faster transactions: Users can pay merchants instantly without converting crypto to fiat.
- Greater accessibility: Expands crypto utility beyond trading to real-world purchases.
- Regulatory alignment: Demonstrates compliance with Vietnam’s push for QR-based digital payments.
How It Works
The integration leverages Vietnam’s interoperable QR standard, which connects banks, e-wallets, and now crypto wallets. Users simply:
- Open Bitget Wallet and select the QR payment option.
- Scan a VietQR code at participating merchants.
- Confirm the transaction in their preferred cryptocurrency.
The Bigger Picture for Crypto Adoption
This move signals a shift toward mainstream crypto usability. As Alvin Kan, Bitget Wallet’s COO, stated: “Integrating with national payment infrastructures is key to making digital assets practical for daily life.” Vietnam’s progressive stance could inspire similar integrations across Asia, where QR payments dominate.
What’s Next?
Bitget Wallet plans to expand this feature to other Southeast Asian markets, potentially partnering with more national payment systems. For now, Vietnamese users gain a frictionless way to spend crypto—a significant step toward mass adoption.
Looking ahead: Will other wallets follow suit? With Vietnam leading the charge, the race to merge crypto with traditional finance is heating up.
