Emerging markets lead in everyday crypto use In Europe, most users were primarily engaged in trading crypto with their wallets, with over 40% of respondents citing this use case. The trend was very different in emerging markets. Users from Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa were the most likely to use crypto wallets for a variety of use cases, primarily sending crypto to other users. Responses to Bitget’s survey by region and use case | Source: Bitget Users in emerging markets typically struggle with access to reliable banking institutions and payment providers.

For this reason, Bitget plans to adapt to this shift by making the wallet more accessible for users who are not crypto natives. “This report captures a powerful shift: wallets are no longer an extension of the crypto ecosystem — they are emerging to new-age finance ecosystems. At Bitget, we’ve seen firsthand how user behavior is evolving. People aren’t simply trading anymore—they’re earning, exploring, and interacting directly with Web3, often starting with a wallet,” Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. Interestingly, in North America and East Asia, users were split between trading and sending crypto. However, the level of engagement in East Asia was much higher, with 48% and 47% sending crypto and trading, respectively. At the same time, this was the region where the long-term holding rate was the highest, at 43%. Read more: Bitget taps into RWA-backed yields by launching BGUSD with 5% APY
