How FinTech and Digital Banking Are Shaping the Future of Crypto Wallets

 

Introduction – The Rise of Crypto-Friendly FinTech

FinTech and digital banks have revolutionized traditional banking by prioritizing speed, accessibility, and innovation. From seamless mobile apps to instant transfers, these platforms disrupted legacy institutions, capturing a global user base of over 605 million neobank customers by the end of 2025. Now, Web3 and cryptocurrency represent the next big shift, with crypto wallet adoption surging to 350 million users in Asia-Pacific alone, accounting for 43% of the global share. Customers, especially Gen Z and Millennials, are demanding crypto-friendly services—buying, selling, and holding digital assets within familiar apps. With the crypto wallet market projected to reach $18 billion in 2025 and grow to $153.88 billion by 2033 at a 30.76% CAGR, FinTechs that integrate wallets are poised to lead this wave. Antier Solutions, a leading white-label crypto wallet development company founded in 2005, helps FinTechs bridge this gap with scalable, compliant solutions.


Why FinTech & Digital Banking Need Crypto Wallets

Today's users expect a single platform for all financial needs, from fiat banking to crypto investments. With 28% of American adults—about 65 million people—owning cryptocurrencies in 2025, demand for integrated services is skyrocketing. Neobanks and challenger banks are pulling customers from legacy institutions by offering crypto features, leaving traditional banks behind. For FinTechs, crypto wallets provide a competitive edge: they enable seamless buy/sell/hold functionalities, reducing churn and attracting tech-savvy users.

Moreover, revenue opportunities abound. Transaction fees (0.5–2%), trading spreads, and portfolio management can generate significant income. The global crypto wallet market's explosive growth, with digital wallet transactions exceeding $12.3 trillion in 2025, underscores the potential for FinTechs to diversify beyond fiat services. By embedding wallets, FinTechs can tap into the $54.79 billion crypto wallet market projected by 2029.

Key Use Cases

A. Neobanks Adding Crypto Accounts

Neobanks are leading crypto integration, attracting younger demographics with innovative features. Revolut, for instance, doubled its pre-tax profits to $1.3 billion in 2024, driven by crypto trading and user growth to over 50 million customers, with plans for mobile expansion in 2025. Cash App has seamlessly integrated Bitcoin, generating $2.73 billion in revenue in Q1 2024 alone. Nubank, Latin America's digital banking giant, launched crypto trading in 2022, signing up a million users in the first month and expanding to 14 cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, SOL, and UNI by 2023, with promotional fees as low as 0.9%.


These integrations position neobanks as innovative hubs, offering buy, sell, swap, store for BTC/ETH, and send to external wallets. Benefits include attracting 70% of Gen Z users who prioritize crypto access, boosting retention by 20–30%.
