NETSTARS Partners With Bitget Wallet to Advance Stablecoin Payments in Japan

NETSTARS has signed a basic agreement with Bitget Wallet to work together on Web3 payments, with a focus on stablecoin use in real-world transactions. The partnership supports NETSTARS’ “StarPay-X” vision, which aims to connect traditional payment systems with blockchain-based wallets.

Bitget Wallet will be part of a multi-wallet strategy that allows users to choose different wallets for payments without being locked into a single platform. The goal is to make it easier for users to pay with crypto in everyday situations, especially in merchant stores.

The agreement is still at the MOU stage, meaning both sides will continue discussions before any final rollout.

How will Web3 and stablecoin payments be used in real stores?

The collaboration will explore how stablecoin payments can be used in physical retail environments, including stores in Japan. NETSTARS plans to use its existing merchant payment network to support crypto-based transactions, while Bitget Wallet provides the wallet infrastructure used by over 90 million users globally.

An important focus is on improving user experience by making crypto payments work more like normal QR and mobile payments. This includes simplifying how users connect wallets, pay merchants, and complete transactions without complex steps.

NETSTARS has already tested in-store stablecoin payments in Japan earlier in 2026, and this partnership builds on that groundwork. The next phase will focus on expanding usage and improving payment flow across different wallet providers.

Why are payment firms moving toward multi-wallet crypto systems?

Payment companies are increasingly exploring Web3 integration as stablecoins become more widely used for payments and settlement. Instead of relying on a single wallet or platform, many systems are moving toward multi-wallet support to improve access and flexibility.

Other fintech and payment providers have also started testing stablecoin rails for merchant payments and cross-border transfers. Companies in Asia and Europe are experimenting with similar models that combine traditional QR payment systems with blockchain wallets.

The NETSTARS and Bitget Wallet partnership follows this direction, where crypto wallets are being positioned as everyday payment tools rather than just storage solutions.

Meanwhile, Bitget has introduced SPCXUSDT, a SpaceX-linked pre-IPO perpetual contract that allows traders to speculate on market expectations around a potential public listing of SpaceX before shares reach traditional markets.
