Bitget Wallet releases its annual summary: Swap and contract trading volumes see significant growth, and the focus of crypto wallet usage shifts from trading to "spending + saving".
According to a 2025 data review released by Bitget Wallet, as reported by Odaily Planet Daily, the application scenarios for cryptocurrency wallets are expanding from primarily transactions to include payments, stablecoin usage, and on-chain yield management. Despite a slight decline in market sentiment at the end of the year, stablecoin payments and on-chain yield activities continued to grow, indicating that some crypto usage is gradually becoming independent of short-term market fluctuations.
In terms of trading, Bitget Wallet's monthly Swap trading volume exceeded $900 million in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 232%; monthly perpetual contract trading volume approached $5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 291%. During the same period, decentralized perpetual contracts accounted for 18.7% of perpetual trading, an increase of about 3 times compared to the beginning of the year, reflecting the trend of users migrating to the on-chain derivatives market.
Payment scenarios have become a new growth driver for wallet usage. Since its launch in July, the Bitget Wallet encrypted card has seen a more than sixfold increase in monthly spending. Currently, the wallet supports various payment methods, including card payments, national QR code payments, local bank transfers, and in-app purchases, adapting to the overall trend of the global stablecoin annual transaction volume reaching approximately $46 trillion.
In terms of yield management, Bitget Wallet Earn saw nearly $200 million in subscriptions in the quarter, more than 10 times the number at the beginning of the year, primarily driven by stablecoin wealth management and products in partnership with leading DeFi protocols. Amid a generally cautious market, user demand for on-chain yields with predictable returns continues to rise.
