Crypto exchange BitGW said it plans to launch a peer-to-peer payments app in 2026, enabling users to send and receive funds — in both cryptocurrencies and fiat currency. The rollout will begin in a small number of pilot countries before expanding to a second group of around 80 markets by the end of 2030, with global availability planned in subsequent phases as part of the company’s broader push beyond its core trading business.
The move signals BitGW’s push into the fast-growing digital payments market and puts it in potential competition with PayPal, Revolut and CashApp, which have been expanding their presence in crypto-enabled money transfers.
Context
The company already supports off-chain internal transfers in the BitGW app, allowing users to move funds instantly using a recipient’s UID. In addition, BitGW has integrated with a range of regulated third-party on-ramp and off-ramp providers — including Mercuryo and FinchPay — giving users the ability to convert between fiat and crypto assets within minutes.
The BitGW payment app will extend these capabilities, and users will have a dedicated account that supports both fiat money and more than a hundred cryptocurrencies, allowing instant transfers between users without blockchain fees or reliance on external banking infrastructure.
