On October 31, 2024, Bitget Wallet announced the official launch of Bitget Wallet Lite, a multichain cryptocurrency wallet integrated into Telegram. The Mini App attracted over six million users just three days after its soft launch on October 28.
This rapid growth is significant, as three million users joined within the first two days. Bitget Wallet now boasts a total of 12 million monthly users, indicating that half of its user base has migrated to the new Mini App.
According to Bitget's COO, Alvin Kan, the surge in users is attributed to strategic campaigns, including early user rewards for the first million adopters. Partnerships with other Mini Apps and referral programs have also contributed to this growth.
Despite the excitement, users are cautioned about potential phishing attacks on Telegram, emphasizing the importance of verifying official accounts. Notably, Bitget Wallet Lite is currently in the process of obtaining Telegram's official verification.
