Whitewallet expands wallet features with Bitcoin, bridging, and yield tools in Q1 - GNcrypto

Whitewallet used its Q1 2026 update to highlight Bitcoin support, new network additions, in-app bridging, fiat purchases, and a yield feature linked to DeFi protocols.

Whitewallet, a multi-chain wallet tied to the Whitechain ecosystem, has outlined its Q1 2026 product updates. The changes span chain integrations, cross-chain infrastructure, fiat-to-crypto access, and a new yield product.

Bitcoin support goes live

A key Q1 addition was native Bitcoin support. Users can now hold, send, and manage BTC on the Bitcoin network inside the wallet. Cross-chain Bitcoin swaps are available through the LI.FI protocol for users who want to move BTC across ecosystems.

Alongside Bitcoin, Whitewallet added six networks in Q1: Avalanche, Polygon, ZKsync, Monad, HyperEVM, and Plasma. Polygon and ZKsync are used as lower-cost Ethereum-compatible networks, while Monad and HyperEVM target higher-throughput activity. Whitewallet also added Plasma, a network focused on stablecoin transfers.

Bridging goes live 

On the infrastructure side, Whitewallet introduced native in-app bridging for WBT and USDC between Whitechain and Ethereum. Transactions are initiated by the user on-chain, while the bridge logic runs in the background. WBT transfers between Whitechain and TRON are now supported in the wallet as well.

Fiat on-ramp added

Whitewallet also added a fiat on-ramp through Paybis. Users can exchange a range of fiat currencies for supported cryptocurrencies inside the wallet, rather than moving to a separate provider. The launch adds a direct fiat-to-crypto entry point alongside the wallet’s other Q1 infrastructure updates.

New yield product 

Whitewallet also introduced a yield feature that gives users access to DeFi strategies through tokenized positions. 

Users convert their holdings into Earn tokens, which represent positions in underlying protocols such as Lido, Ether.fi, Ethena, Sky, and Rocket Pool. Rewards accumulate automatically across staking, restaking, and lending strategies. Earn tokens can be swapped back to the original assets at any time, subject to liquidity and network conditions.

Looking ahead

Seen together, the Q1 additions are aimed at reducing the number of separate steps users need to buy, move, and deploy crypto across networks. The combination of fiat access, native Bitcoin support, in-app bridging, and yield features suggests Whitewallet is building toward a more unified multi-chain wallet experience.
