Bitget Wallet, a cryptocurrency wallet from the Bitget exchange, is gaining popularity on Telegram - its mini-app has attracted millions of users in just a few days after its launch.

Bitget Wallet Lite was pre-launched on October 28, and three days later, on October 31, the official launch of the mini-app integrated into Telegram took place. According to the developers' announcement, the non-custodial wallet allows you to buy, store, and transfer cryptocurrency.

According to Telegram, Bitget Wallet Lite attracted 3 million cryptocurrency holders in the first two days, and on the day of the official launch, its base exceeded 6 million. This is half of all Bitget Wallet users, whose audience includes 12 million active addresses.

According to Bitget Wallet COO Alvin Kan, the popularity of the mini-app is due to the new features of the crypto wallet and the promotions that its developers conduct.

We launched a targeted campaign in Telegram groups with gifts for the first million users to encourage early adoption by creating a sense of urgency and rewarding users who are eager to get the best features in Bitget Wallet,” said Kan.

Another factor in the sharp rise in popularity of Bitget Wallet Lite was the referral program, which allows you to receive a reward for friends and acquaintances who join the application.

Although Telegram has its own crypto wallet, third-party apps are also very popular. Hot Wallet is currently in first place with 5.8 million users per month. Next is Tonkeeper with 760,000 users, then OKX Wallet with about 700,000.
