Other popular wallets included Phantom Wallet with 667,000 downloads, Coinbase Wallet at 475,000, and SafePal with 157,000 downloads.

Bitget Wallet’s rise is attributed to the surge in meme coin transactions and its early support for the Open Network (TON) mainnet, which has become the top network on the wallet.

Alvin Kan, Bitget Wallet’s COO, credits the wallet’s growth to the launch of Bitget Wallet Token (BWB) in March 2024, which boosted user engagement and trading volumes. The wallet now has 30 million users, with notable growth in Italy, Australia, and Sweden.

Despite Bitget Wallet’s success, some crypto users noted MetaMask’s established presence, with many already having it installed, while others pointed out issues with MetaMask’s mobile app experience.
