Bitget Wallet and Alchemy Pay have announced the launch of a zero-fee USDC on-ramp, aimed at expanding access to digital dollars across emerging markets. The new feature allows users to purchase USDC with 0% transaction fees, no network fees, and competitive, market-referenced foreign exchange rates.
Available directly through Bitget Wallet’s Buy Crypto portal, the on-ramp offers a streamlined checkout experience with one-click payments via Apple Pay and Google Pay, alongside support for Mastercard and Visa. The zero-fee model is enabled through Alchemy Pay’s stablecoin subsidy programme, funded in collaboration with Coinbase, with a focus on driving USDC adoption in high-growth regions.
The rollout covers markets across Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa, integrating a broad range of global payment channels as well as local bank transfers and domestic payment rails. Smaller-value transactions settle instantly, catering to users who depend on frequent, everyday crypto on-ramps.
“At Alchemy Pay, we are dedicated to building bridges that simplify and enhance the crypto experience for users worldwide. Our collaboration with Bitget Wallet on this USDC 0 Ramp Fee Campaign is a testament to that mission. By eliminating barriers to entry, we’re empowering more people to seamlessly access and utilize digital dollars. This initiative reflects our shared vision of a more open, efficient, and inclusive financial ecosystem,” said Ailona Tsik, CMO at Alchemy Pay.
Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet, added: “Stablecoins are increasingly used as a straightforward way to store and move value. Ensuring people can access USDC through familiar payment methods without added fees or complexity helps make these tools more relevant to everyday financial needs.” He added that Bitget Wallet will continue to expand localised fiat-to-stablecoin pathways to meet rising demand for digital dollars in high-adoption markets.
The new on-ramp builds on Bitget Wallet’s wider stablecoin infrastructure. The wallet currently supports more than 80 payment methods for buying and selling crypto across over 100 markets, enables stablecoin-based gas fees on multiple major blockchains, and allows USDC usage through card payments in more than 50 markets. Additional features include QR-based payments, bank transfers, in-app spending, and access to DeFi protocols offering USDC yield opportunities of up to 10% annually.
