According to documentation published by Bitget Wallet, the matrix encompasses crypto debit card issuance across more than 50 countries in Europe, Latin America, and APAC, alongside QR-code retail payment connections across 2.5 million merchants in Asia and Latin America 1.

At the time of writing, $BTC traded at $80,046 while $USDT stood at $0.9983, amid broader platform efforts to expand non-custodial stablecoin utility across retail and freelance payment corridors.
