Crypto Wallets: The Magical Banks of Emerging Markets! 💰✨

by

Oh, gather ’round, dear friends, for a tale of wallets that jingle and jangle! A new report from the clever folks at Bitget Wallet reveals a delightful secret: users in emerging markets are using crypto wallets for their daily dosh far more than those in the posh developed world! Can you believe it? 🤯

On a sunny Wednesday, May 28, the Bitget Wallet wizards unveiled their findings, showing that these emerging markets are leading the charge in everyday crypto transactions. It seems that while the rest of the world is busy trading like it’s a game of Monopoly, our friends in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa are sending crypto to each other like it’s hot potatoes! 🥔💸

Now, this report is based on the musings of 4,599 wallet users, who were divided into three age groups: the sprightly Gen Z, the trendy millennials, and the wise Gen X and older. They were all asked how they use their Bitget Wallets, and oh, what a hoot it was! 🎉

Emerging Markets: The Crypto Playground! 🎢

In Europe, most users were busy trading their crypto like it was the latest fashion trend, with over 40% of them saying, “Trade, trade, trade!” But in the emerging markets, it’s a whole different ball game! Here, users are sending crypto to one another faster than you can say “abracadabra!” 🪄

Now, let’s not forget that our friends in these emerging markets often find it trickier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs to access reliable banks. So, it’s no wonder they’re embracing crypto like a long-lost friend! And who wouldn’t want to earn airdrop rewards? It’s like finding money in your old coat pocket! 💵🧥

Gracy Chen, the big cheese at Bitget, says this shows a marvelous shift in how folks are engaging with their wallets. They’re not just trading anymore; they’re earning, exploring, and diving headfirst into the magical world of Web3! 🧙‍♂️✨

“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.

And in North America and East Asia, users are split between trading and sending crypto, like kids choosing between ice cream flavors. But in East Asia, the engagement is off the charts! With 48% sending crypto and 47% trading, it’s a crypto carnival! 🎡 And guess what? They also have the highest long-term holding rate at 43%! Talk about commitment! 💍
