Cryptos: 35 % of users want to use them to travel, play and more!

The crypto advances, slowly, but surely, gaining both the muffled salons of the institutions and the screens of individuals. A double conquest, vertical and horizontal, which redraws monetary uses. It is no longer just a frantic speculation or trading. With its latest report, Bitget Wallet highlights another reality: that of an adoption that is commonplace. What if spending cryptos soon became as current as paying in cash?

Gaming, travel, shopping: crypto settles in habits

Far from Japanese candlesticks and FOMO, The uses of the crypto evolve. The last “Payfi unlocked” report Bitget Wallet give A encrypted and exciting overview : 36 % of users want to use their digital assets for gaming, 35 % for daily purchases, and 35 % to reserve their trips. Crypto is no longer just in investment, it is lived.

What users are looking for is reliability, compatibility and control. Whether it is a cash code at the cash register or an online purchase set in Stablecoin, we expect that spending cryptocurrencies are as simple as spending cash. The challenge for portfolios therefore consists in responding to this expectation without compromising the principles of autonomous guard.

Generations adopt separate behaviors. There Gen Z favors social and instant uses : 40 % for gaming, 35 % for gifts. THE millennialsmore mobile, Use their cryptos to travel (36 %), play (35 %) or buy digital products (35 %). The Gen X aim for structuring uses: real estate, travel, school fees.

This diversity of approaches reflects a constant: the crypto wants to get out of its silo. The report observes that Crypto cards, Blockchain QR Codes and In-App payments are installed as emerging standard. The infrastructure follows. It remains to be seen whether the use will follow.

From QR MasterCard à la carte code: Bitget wants to standardize the crypto experience

Bitget Wallet does not observe the trend, it anticipates it. By allying with MasterCardthe platform now allows its users to spend their assets with 150 million merchants. A concrete step towards interoperability.

But that's not all. In Southeast Asia, 41 % of users favor Gaming -related uses. QR code is king. Bitget then incorporates Solana Pay and local standards to streamline payments.

L'Africa stands out: 38 % use crypto to pay education. An indicator of confidence, in a context of sub-baurization. In Latin Americadigital purchases (38 %) and online (35 %) dominate, illustrating distrust of local currencies.

Bitget also launched An in-app store : Mobile recharges, gaming credits, digital subscriptions, plane tickets, etc. The USDT and USDC exchanges there like the euro at the grocery store. What if the future of the crypto was not a metarers … but a counter?

Crypto on a daily basis: what prospects behind uses?

The adoption of crypto payments is gaining momentum. But this evolution raises dthe questions : Can we really talk about democratization without safety net? The “Payfi Unlocked” report highlights the persistent brakes.

First of all, expectations are technical. 46 % of users applied speed. In Southeast Africa and Southeast Asia, more than one in two seeks to Avoid traditional banking heaviness. Latin America, for its part, sees in the crypto a bulwark against expensive transfers.

Finally, initiatives are multiplying. Bitget Wallet has deployed a 300 million dollars protection fund, as well as tools such as MEV protection to avoid front-running attacks. But will that be enough?

Some key figures:

• In March 2025, crypto payments for education reached 38 % in Africa;
• 41 % of users in East Asia spend for digital purchases;
• 40 % of Gen Xs use their cryptos to travel, 36 % for real estate;
• The QR Code stands out as a payment standard in Asia and the Middle East;
• The Middle East displays 31 % crypto payments for luxury products.

Last March, a previous report already underlined the rise in Crypto uses. But this evolution was accompanied by an alert: security does not always follow the pace. Adoption does not systematically mean confidence. At a time when Bitcoin monopolizes attention, real disruption may well come from elsewhere. Users, discreet, but determined, who spend their crypto without making noise, but not without consequences.
