Bitget Wallet has outpaced Metamask to become the most downloaded web3 wallet in July.

According to a recent press release, Bitget Wallet achieved over 30 million global users in July, showing a 150% increase compared to last year. Data from CryptoRank indicates the wallet saw over 1.6 million downloads in July across both Google and Apple’s app stores, surpassing Metamask’s 1.5 million downloads.

One significant factor behind Bitget’s popularity is its emphasis on the mobile experience. Alvin Kan, COO at Bitget Wallet, explained, “Many Web3 users prefer the convenience of mobile over plugin wallets on computers. Our mobile wallet’s user-friendly design has made it a top choice, with many users opting not to return to traditional wallets.”

Bitget Wallet’s expansion has been particularly robust in Europe, North America, and Oceania. User numbers in countries such as Russia, Italy, Sweden, and Australia increased 40-fold, while in France, Portugal, the UK, Turkey, and Canada, the numbers grew by 1,000%.

The wallet also saw a 20-fold increase in users in Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand. In India, Vietnam, and Singapore, user growth exceeded 300%.

Bitget Wallet fully integrates TON mainnet swaps

According to Kan, key drivers behind this growth include Bitget’s cross-chain wallet capabilities, enabling “seamless multi-chain asset management” and “effortless decentralized trading,” with a particular focus on memecoin trading. Features like smart money tracking on the Solana and Base chains, automatic slippage, zero gas fees, and instant trade mode have also contributed to its popularity.

Adding support for The Open Network in November 2023 further boosted the wallet’s user base in the first half of 2024. This was complemented by the rising popularity of Telegram mini-games over the past months.

“We have collaborated with over 50 prominent TON projects, providing users with a gas-free transaction experience and on-chain transfers,” Kan added.

Last month, Bitget became one of the first major wallet providers to fully integrate The Open Network. Subsequently, the blockchain network became the most transacted network on Bitget Wallet, surpassing Polygon, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.

Prior to that, the wallet provider partnered with crypto investment firm Foresight X to invest in Tomarket, a defi trading platform on the TON blockchain.

Looking ahead, Kan expects this growth to continue despite the unpredictable nature of the markets, driven by retail and institutional interest for spot cryptocurrency ETF products and continuous innovations in the blockchain space.
