Bitget Wallet launches card rewards up to 3% in Bitcoin, tokenized assets

min

Bitget Wallet launched Assetback, a card rewards program that offers up to 3% rewards paid in selected digital assets: Bitcoin, tokenized gold, and tokenized U.S. stocks. The rate and eligibility depend on product terms, with caps and qualifying transaction rules.

Key points

  • Rewards are paid in digital assets, not cash or points: BTC, tokenized gold, and tokenized U.S. equities.
  • The 3% figure is a maximum under specific conditions: it does not apply universally to all users or transactions.
  • The tokenized equity component requires clarity on rights, custody, issuance, and redemption.

How it fits

The program targets the overlap of crypto payments, rewards, tokenized assets, and self-custodial wallets, placing investable assets at the checkout layer. It extends crypto card rewards beyond exchange tokens and stablecoin-linked perks to tokenized exposures, aligning everyday spending with portfolio building.

Tokenized equities: what they represent

Tokenized U.S. equities can differ from holding shares through a brokerage. Rights, restrictions, custody structure, settlement process, jurisdiction, and redemption vary by issuer and wrapper. Users receive exposure that may track an asset while not conferring ordinary shareholder rights. Product terms determine the actual entitlement.

Reward options

Bitcoin remains the most straightforward reward due to established user familiarity. Tokenized gold provides commodity-like exposure. Tokenized stocks add market exposure, broadening the reward menu beyond a standard crypto card.

Strategic context

The launch reflects a push by wallet providers to own the spending layer. Integrating cards, rewards, swaps, stablecoins, and tokenized assets increases wallet utility across spending, saving, investing, and value transfer.

What to watch

  • Geographic availability of the card and user eligibility.
  • Reward caps, qualifying categories, and exclusions.
  • Fees across issuance, conversion, and redemption of reward assets.
  • Tokenization mechanics: issuer, custody, settlement, and redemption pathways.
  • Usability: how easily users can redeem or sell reward assets.
