Bitget committed $10 million to Blockchain4Youth initiative
Launched in May 2023, the Blockchain4Youth initiative by Bitget has committed $10 million over five years, focusing on the influential role of Millennials and Generation Z in fostering a crypto-friendly future.
Bitget’s research underlines the significant participation of these generations in the crypto world, with Millennials making up 46% of crypto enthusiasts. The COO Apprentice Program is a strategic move to immerse young talents in Web3, shaping them into future blockchain leaders.
Founded in 2018, Bitget has grown to serve over 25 million users across more than 100 countries and regions. Known for its innovative trading solutions, such as the copy trading feature, Bitget continues to empower users in navigating the crypto market.
The rebranded Bitget Wallet, formerly BitKeep, offers a suite of Web3 services, including wallet functions, swap capabilities, an NFT marketplace, and a DApp browser. Through strategic partnerships, including with football legend Lionel Messi and PGL, an eSports event organizer, Bitget aims to broaden the appeal of cryptocurrency, making it more accessible to a global audience.
CEXs are 10x more popular than DEXs, according to Bitget Research
A recent report published by Bitget Research found that the number of daily active crypto traders in Western Europe fluctuates between 1.2 million and 1.5 million, with Germany and France at the forefront of this activity. Austria recorded a staggering 70% growth in crypto trader numbers from December 2022 to December 2023.
The in-depth study reveals that the region is marked by significant trading volumes, a strong presence of DeFi (Decentralized Finance) activities, a regulated environment, and a comparatively lower inclination towards P2P (Peer-to-Peer) trading platforms.
The paper further indicates that Western Europeans’ approach to cryptocurrency investments sees them engaging in both contracts and spot trading, with a strong inclination towards mainstream assets, but also involvement in decentralized projects, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and Web3 platforms.
P2P trading volumes, however, remain significantly lower than other forms of cryptocurrency transactions. Bitget Research attributes this to the prevalent method of acquiring digital assets through fiat deposits or card-linked purchases, contrasting with regions like South East Asia where P2P trading is more common.
Western European traders are found to prefer centralized exchanges over decentralized ones as CEX traffic outpaces DEXs by a factor of ten. Among decentralized platforms, PancakeSwap and Uniswap emerge as favorites, with Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Bitget Wallet, and TrustWallet being the go-to wallets across the region.
The report concluded by predicting a rising interest in on-chain solutions, particularly NFTs, DEXes, and blockchain games, with the expectation that one to two blockchain projects led by Western European teams will emerge as leaders in their respective sectors.
