Bitget Wallet has made a significant step by becoming the first self-custody wallet to integrate directly with Vietnam's national QR payment system, VietQR. The move lets users in Vietnam pay with crypto at over two million merchants, from restaurants to supermarkets and street vendors.

The integration allows seamless crypto transactions via a single scan of the VietQR code. Payments can be made using stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, supported on multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Base, TON, and BNB Chain.

The wallet's developers plan to expand support to additional chains in the near future.

The rollout is part of Bitget Wallet's broader PayFi initiative, which aims to connect crypto payments with national QR systems across several global regions. Auto-swap features are also on the roadmap, enabling token payments without fiat conversion.

Bitget Wallet is promoting the launch with a 50% cashback for the first 50,000 new users, valid from 16 June to 30 July. The company's CMO, Jamie Elkaleh, stated the goal is to shift crypto from an investment vehicle into an everyday currency, beginning in Southeast Asia.
