Bitget collaborations and the new ecosystem fund
Bitget teamed up with three Turkish national athletes in the second quarter of 2024: lkin Aydın, a volleyball player, boxer Samet Gümüş, and wrestler Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu. This collaboration is a component of the business’s promotion featuring football icon Lionel Messi.
The CEO of Bitget, Gracy Chen, expressed gratitude to the community and stated that they will keep developing for Web3’s future. Chen stated:
“Q2 2024 has been a pivotal period for Bitget. Our collaboration with Turkish athletes along with significant growth in users and website traffic is a part of our global expansion.”
In the second quarter, Bitget and the Singaporean investment firm Foresight Ventures jointly opened a $20 million ecosystem fund. This fund aims to expedite the development of the TON ecosystem and support early-stage projects on The Open Network (TON).
The proof-of-reserve ratios are not altered.
The exchange further stated that its key assets have ratios above 100% in its proof-of-reserves (PoR) report. According to the company’s website, it has more than 100% of cryptocurrencies compared to user funds.
The business also disclosed that the value of its protection fund exceeds $420 million. According to the corporation, this gives its users more security.
To stop deepfake scammers from completing the quarter, the company also teamed up with Sumsub, a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification provider, during the KYC verification procedure at the exchange. The action reacts to the growing number of deepfakes in the cryptocurrency industry.
Researchers from Bitget noted on June 27 that losses resulting from deepfake assaults in the cryptocurrency industry would amount to $25 billion by 2024.
