The exchange stated, “Q1 2024 was marked by significant advancements in crypto.” February witnessed a strong market rebound, with Bitcoin reaching new peaks. Additionally, the excitement surrounding Solana and progress in AI technology highlighted the ever-evolving nature of the crypto market.
In the last three months, a total of 186 new cryptocurrencies were introduced on the exchange. Among these new additions, Solana’s meme token Dogwifhat (WIF) and Altlayer (ALT), which are a meme coin and a rollup utility token respectively, experienced remarkable growth with over 1,000% increase in value following their listing.
Simultaneously, the value of Bitget’s native token, BGB, reached a new peak of $1.38 and experienced a massive year-over-year increase of over 400%. With a market capitalization of $2.6 billion, the exchange is currently highly valued. In the second quarter, Bitget intends to introduce an extra token named BWB as the native currency for its Web3 wallet. An airdrop for this launch is ongoing at present.

The funding rate on the exchanges was positive throughout the month, increasing steadily, highlighting the leverage in the market.”
On January 16th, CryptoMoon announced that Bitget committed $10 million to support the launch of women-led businesses in the Web3 and blockchain sector.
