Bitget Wallet Integrates Arc Network for Nigerian Users

Bitget Wallet, a self-custodial crypto wallet, has integrated Arc, a blockchain designed for stablecoin payments, providing Nigerian users access through its consumer app and Bitget Wallet X API platform. The wallet claims over 100 million users globally and was among more than 100 applications active on Arc at its recent mainnet launch.

The integration supports token swaps, cross-chain transfers, and market data. Arc charges network fees in USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, and aims to settle transactions in under a second.

Since 2019, Nigeria has accounted for approximately 60% of stablecoin inflows into sub-Saharan Africa, as reported by the International Monetary Fund in June. The IMF noted that stablecoins facilitate quick remittances and cross-border payments at lower costs.

Bitget Wallet reported a 70% increase in stablecoin transaction volume in key emerging markets over the past year. Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the importance of infrastructure for cross-border money management.

The integration also builds on a service launched in November 2025 that converts USDT and USDC into naira for over 45 Nigerian banks.
