NETSTARS and Bitget Wallet Enter into a Basic Agreement for Collaboration
Including Support for Multi-Wallet Web3 Payments to Realize the “StarPay-X” Vision

NETSTARS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Tsuyoshi Ri; hereinafter, “NETSTARS”) announces that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter, “MOU”) with the non-custodial crypto asset wallet provider Bitget Wallet (Headquarters: San Salvador, El Salvador; COO: Alvin Kan) to collaborate on promoting the adoption of Web3 payments, including stablecoins.

Bitget Wallet is one of the partners supporting the concept behind “StarPay-X”, NETSTARS’ gateway vision for connecting the financial worlds of Web2 and Web3. This collaboration aims to explore how Web3-enabled financial functions can be integrated into Web2 and used in real-world applications.

StarPay-X aims to enhance user convenience by creating a Web3 environment in which users can flexibly choose services according to their needs and use cases, without being tied to specific technologies or platforms.
This collaboration with Bitget Wallet is part of a broader “multi-wallet” strategy that will expand the range of wallets available to users.   

Bitget Wallet is a non-custodial wallet used by more than 90 million users worldwide. Users manage their own private keys, and unlike a crypto asset exchange, Bitget Wallet does not hold or manage user assets. Leveraging the expertise and merchant network it has developed in the payments sector, NETSTARS will work with Bitget Wallet to explore ways to enhance the user experience.  

Furthermore, for stablecoin-based payments currently under consideration, one key objective is to expand in-store payment usage in Japan among users of overseas wallets. Going forward, through its collaboration with Bitget Wallet, NETSTARS will explore ways to enhance convenience and expand usage opportunities for a wide range of users, including visitors to Japan. 

Comment from Will Wu, Bitget Wallet Head of APAC
“We believe this collaboration with NETSTARS has the potential to deliver a better user experience by combining NETSTARS’ merchant network and expertise in the payments sector with Bitget Wallet’s wallet capabilities and user experience.”

Comment from Tsuyoshi Ri, NETSTARS Representative Director and CEO
“We are delighted that Bitget Wallet is supporting our StarPay-X vision. This collaboration will provide an opportunity to further advance our efforts toward real-world adoption of Web3 technologies, including through a multi-wallet approach.”

*This MOU does not constitute a commitment at the current time to provide or implement specific services, and the parties will continue to explore potential collaboration through ongoing discussions.
