Leading global cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company Bitget has announced its monthly report for January 2024, revealing impressive growth in derivative trading volume, surpassing the market by 28%. According to the latest data published by WuBlockchain, Bitget’s derivative trading volume soared amidst a market growth of 1.3%, solidifying its leading position in the industry. Additionally, the platform’s spot trading volume grew by 9.4%, exceeding the market’s 2.6% increase.
The report also highlighted other achievements of Bitget in leading the industry, including the profit generated by over 2.2 million profitable trades made by copy traders in a single month, bringing in over $15 million in profits. This further solidifies Bitget’s position as a leading copy trading cryptocurrency exchange. In January, the platform attracted 4,400 elite traders and gained over 26,990 new followers.
Bitget delved into the financing trends of blockchain startups and discovered significant gender disparities in funding. From the first quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, female-led startups only received 6.34% of the total funding amount. Although the number of female-led startups has slightly declined since early 2022, their representation has slightly increased from 8.3% in 2022 to 8.6% in the third quarter of 2023.
To address this gap, Bitget has initiated the Blockchain4Her program, allocating $10 million to promote gender diversity and inclusivity in the blockchain industry. The program was publicly announced during the Davos Web3 Hub event held in 2024 World Economic Forum and aims to enhance the capabilities of female entrepreneurs through various initiatives, competitions, and awards.
Bitget has also launched the #MakeItCount 2024 brand campaign, celebrating its second year of partnership with football legend Lionel Messi. This campaign resonates with Messi’s journey from adversity to glory, encouraging people to surpass their limits, embrace opportunities, and turn difficulties into stepping stones for success.
Furthermore, Bitget analyzed the changing employment landscape, highlighting the significant migration of banking industry employees to the crypto industry, with one-third of crypto job seekers coming from traditional banking. This shift represents that talent recruitment in the crypto industry is driven by high salaries and technological innovation. To align with the latest market trends and provide high-potential tokens, Bitget has also introduced 52 new cryptocurrency assets on its platform.
