Gracy Chen, managing director of Bitget, commented:
“KCGI is one of our major spotlights throughout the year. The tournament, this time, is hosted during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 where Argentina and our partner, Leo Messi, are crowned as winners. Congratulations to all the winners in KCGI, Messi and Argentina’s team! We are glad to have the opportunity to engage Bitget users with the World Cup and stand with Messi throughout his journey to the championship.
In the midst of a bear market and slow market sentiment, Bitget is also investing efforts into perfecting our product offerings. In line with the sense of community we all felt during the World Cup and KCGI, we have rolled out a few products recently to upgrade users’ social trading experience, including Shark Fin, spot margin trading, DCA trading strategy and so on, as well as announced measures to protect our users’ assets with the Bitget Protection Fund and our fully transparent Merkle tree proof-of-reserves information. We do these all to improve our internal strength and security while providing maximum transparency in hopes of rebuilding the industry and setting forth a good example.”
