You Can Now Use Bitget Wallet to Pay with Crypto via QR Ph
Bitget Wallet, a decentralized multi-chain crypto wallet developed by international crypto exchange Bitget, now supports national QR code payments in Vietnam and the Philippines.
This means that Filipino users can now scan QR Ph codes to pay for goods and services using stablecoins like $USDT and $USDC across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, TRON, Solana, Base, TON, and BNB Chain.

Game Changer? Crypto as Payment at Bitget Wallet
In a statement, Bitget shared the integration is part of its broader PayFi initiative aimed at bridging web3 technologies with real-world use cases. It is the first self-custody solution to enable QR-based crypto payments using national systems in both countries.
In the Philippines, the crypto exchange clarified that purchases can be made at retail shops, restaurants, cafes, and food stalls, wherever QR Ph is accepted as a mode of payment.
It is because Bitget Wallet’s scan-to-pay function can automatically detect whether a QR code is blockchain-based, like Solana Pay; or a national QR, like QR Ph; and then process the transaction accordingly.
- Crypto balances are used directly for payment in this feature.
Moreover, the team behind Bitget Wallet expressed that by enabling direct stablecoin payments via QR Ph, the feature eliminates the need for peer-to-peer conversions for small-value transactions and offers a faster, more seamless experience for crypto users.
However, as of this writing, token conversion and gas-free payments are not yet active.
“We’re helping crypto become something people actually use—to eat, shop, travel, and live.”
