Bitget Wallet Card Adds Bitcoin, Gold and Tokenized Stock Cashback

Bitget Wallet has integrated tokenized equities, Bitcoin, and gold into its cashback reward system, utilizing Payward’s xStocks framework to facilitate fractional ownership. Users can now earn exposure to assets like NVIDIA, Tesla, Alphabet, and S&P 500 ETFs through everyday card spending rather than traditional fiat or point-based rewards. This model aims to automate dollar-cost averaging by converting small, high-frequency transactions into fractional real-world asset positions. The company reports that its card spending nearly tripled in the first half of 2026, reflecting broader industry growth where monthly crypto card payment volumes reached $656 million in May 2026. By bypassing traditional brokerage onboarding, the initiative seeks to improve financial inclusion for retail users in emerging markets. However, the approach faces significant regulatory scrutiny, as authorities in the EU, UK, and Gulf regions may classify these tokenized equities as transferable securities under frameworks like MiFID II. The success of this model hinges on whether regulators accept the cashback framing or mandate strict investment firm compliance.
