Bitget Wallet is offering creators, community managers and influencers commissions of up to 60% on trading activity, with no minimum volume required, under a new global affiliate program announced Aug. 12.
The self-custodial wallet announced the global affiliate programme on August 12, 2026, in a release distributed by GlobeNewswire from San Salvador, El Salvador. Under the initiative, affiliates can earn commissions of up to 60% on trading activity while also receiving rewards linked to Bitget Wallet Card referrals and spending.
The launch positions the global affiliate programme as part of Bitget Wallet’s broader effort to move beyond cryptocurrency trading and build a platform around everyday financial activity.
The programme is divided into two tracks. The first covers crypto trading, including token swaps and perpetuals, while the second focuses on payments through the Bitget Wallet Card.
According to the company, affiliates receive bonuses for every new cardholder they refer and can earn an uncapped rebate on the spending of those cardholders. Bitget Wallet also said the maximum 60% trading commission does not require affiliates to meet a minimum trading-volume threshold.
The global affiliate programme is open to registered Bitget Wallet users with an active social or community presence, although the company said product availability and reward structures can differ by jurisdiction and remain subject to local regulations.
The global affiliate programme reflects a wider push by crypto platforms to use creators and community leaders as distribution channels for financial products.
Rather than limiting affiliate rewards to account registrations or trading activity, Bitget Wallet is tying its programme to both trading and payments. That structure mirrors the company’s recent emphasis on positioning its wallet as an everyday financial product rather than solely as a cryptocurrency trading interface.
“Most affiliate programs in crypto reward a single behavior — usually trading volume or account signups,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet.
Kan said the company designed the global affiliate programme around users’ daily financial activities, arguing that creators have an important role in connecting crypto products with audiences that already trust them.
“We structured this around daily activities, giving creators commission opportunities across both trading and payments reflects where crypto is heading — everyday financial utility,” Kan said.
The company’s approach builds on an existing relationship between crypto platforms and online communities. Influencers, educators, Telegram administrators and other community figures have increasingly become channels through which users discover wallets, exchanges, trading products and payment services.
For Bitget Wallet, the strategy also provides an incentive for creators to promote products beyond conventional trading.
The payments component is a significant distinction in the global affiliate programme, particularly as Bitget Wallet expands its card and payment infrastructure.
Bitget Wallet said its crypto card is available across more than 50 markets and can be used at 150 million merchants globally. The company also operates QR-payment connections across Asia-Pacific and Latin America and bank-transfer infrastructure reaching hundreds of financial institutions.
The company said payment transactions on the platform have recently overtaken trading by volume, while card spending tripled during the first half of 2026. Its Onchain Payments Matrix, which connects blockchains, card networks, stablecoin issuers and banks, has processed more than $177 billion in stablecoin volume to date, according to Bitget Wallet.
That shift gives the global affiliate programme a broader commercial target than traditional crypto referral schemes. Creators can potentially benefit when referred users trade assets, but also when those users adopt the wallet for payments and continue spending through its card.
Bitget Wallet’s move also follows the migration of new Bitget Card applications to the wallet from August 1, 2026. The company said the change expanded country coverage and consolidated its crypto-payment experience within Bitget Wallet.
The company’s official profile says Bitget Wallet now serves more than 100 million users, supports more than 130 blockchains and provides access to more than one million crypto and tokenized real-world assets.
The global affiliate programme arrives as Bitget Wallet increasingly presents itself as a self-custodial financial platform for saving, sending and spending digital assets.
The wallet says users retain ownership of their assets, with security measures including hardware-backed key protection, independent security audits and real-time risk monitoring. It also cites a $300 million user protection fund.
For creators, the programme therefore creates an opportunity to promote a broader range of services rather than relying exclusively on trading referrals. For Bitget Wallet, it offers a community-driven acquisition model that connects its growing payments infrastructure with audiences already engaged in digital assets.
Kan framed that relationship around trust and community, saying: “Financial access has always spread through trust and community, and the next hundred million people who use crypto as everyday money will find it through someone they already trust.”
The global affiliate programme consequently comes at a time when crypto companies are competing not only for traders but also for users who increasingly use stablecoins and digital wallets for payments, transfers and other routine financial activities.
Bitget Wallet’s latest initiative seeks to put creators at the centre of that transition, with financial incentives spanning both trading and everyday payments.
