Crypto payments vietnam via national QR code allows Vietnamese users of Bitget Wallet to now scan any VietQR-based code—used by over 2 million merchants—and pay directly with stablecoins like USDT or USDC across multiple blockchains.
Strategic Partnership with AEON
Through a partnership with licensed on‑ramp provider AEON, Bitget Wallet now links to over 55 Vietnamese banks and payment processors supporting VietQR—allowing crypto at both street‑level vendors and major retailers.
A First for Self‑Custodial Wallets

What’s Next
Vietnam serves as the inaugural market under Bitget’s broader ambition to enable crypto payments via national QR systems across Southeast Asia, Latin America and beyond.
