In a recent interview, Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitget Wallet, discussed how crypto is returning to its original purpose: enabling everyday, peer-to-peer finance. While Bitcoin gained global attention as a store of value, Jamie explained that its original vision as digital cash is now being realized through stablecoins. Crypto was supposed to be money, but spent a decade acting like an asset. The surge in stablecoin usage reflects real demand for fast, reliable, and borderless money – driven by practical use cases such as payments, remittances, and savings.

According to Jamie, this shift is transforming wallets into everyday finance apps. Bitget Wallet exemplifies this evolution by combining trading, earning, and payments into a single interface. Users can manage everything from daily spending to major purchases, including buying a car with a crypto card. Stablecoins settle instantly on-chain, while merchants receive local currency, creating a seamless experience for both sides.

Jamie also explained why this model is resonating now. Bitget Wallet’s rebrand focused on simplicity and real-world utility, directly addressing crypto’s biggest adoption barriers. The impact was clear: an 83% increase in stablecoin transaction volume in 2025, signaling that users increasingly want to use crypto as money rather than simply hold it — particularly in mobile-first regions and emerging markets.

Beyond payments, Jamie noted that crypto is entering a wealth-building phase. Wallets now offer access to yield on stablecoins, along with investment opportunities in tokenized stocks and ETFs. This represents a move toward active, self-custodial wealth management, where users maintain control while accessing tools traditionally reserved for institutional finance.

Finally, the interview highlighted how traditional finance is adapting. Rather than competing with crypto, TradFi is increasingly integrating with blockchain, partnering with wallets for access and infrastructure. Looking ahead, Jamie pointed to privacy tools, on-chain credit, AI-driven commerce, tokenized assets, and prediction markets as developments that will further embed everyday finance on-chain.

As the interview made clear, crypto’s next phase is no longer speculative – it’s practical, accessible, and already reshaping how people manage money.
