Bitget in Belgium – Sabry (Bitget) | Onchain Soirée [1] @ KU Leuven

Thank you very much. Um, so I am here with uh BitGet. For those that don't know BitGet, it's a cryptocurrency trading platform, a crypto exchange if you will. Uh, I am here with the builder program. So, just to make things clear, we are not developers at the builder program.

We are community builders. We are trying to connect with all the developers with all the communities, the traders, expand our brand and making sure that we integrate as much as possible with the web 3 development web 3 space. So, BitGet, as I told you, is a crypto exchange, but it tries to be much more than that. It's a very young exchange. It's uh six to seven years old and it's been growing massively.

So when you look online you will see that bitg is scoring very high and this was the numbers last year. It scored on the first place in crypto uh copy trading. So for those who don't know what copy trading is, uh it's just basically copying other traders and trying to uh recreate their uh trades so that you don't have to set up bots or any difficult algorithm. It's been taking on a lot uh many users 100 million users world worldwide active users and a trading volume of 20 billion that was last year I've seen the numbers for this year they've been scoring over 45 billion daily um so we are listing many many many coins now this season was a lot of meme coins but we also have futures trading for those meme coins. So, you know, if you like to short meme coins, that's a good place to be.

Uh, many elite traders, which is good for copy trading. And of course, we have a protection fund. Every month, we release a statistic of the funds that are actually in uh storage. So there is a very big transparency on that which is important if you are trading on a centralized exchange. So um like I said we're trying to get as much exposure as possible.

Before La Liga which is a football um association we were sponsoring Messi. Now we went over to La Liga just to make sure that web three is much more present and more visible in the world. Um and we have also a lot of initiatives trying to push forward development knowledge and awareness. So, one of those um initiatives is called Blockchain for Youth, which aims to help academics, new people, newcomers to web 3 to learn about cryptocurrencies and to um get more familiar into safe trading, safe adoption, and building the web 3 ecosystem. Um there's also a very beautiful initiative called blockchain for her.

There is not a lot of ladies here but uh that's uh in a way trying to promote the integration in uh the community so that it's not just one gender specific or very open and we want the world to be as open as cryptocurrency should be. Um, and then of course for the big wallets, we also have VIP packages which give a lot of perks to large wallet users. Now, um, moving on, I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible, but blockchain for youth, like I said, tries to aim for awareness and education around cryptocurrencies. So, it's not just specific for our um for our platform. It's very global.

is very wide. Um, yeah, that's one of the motives to embrace a blockchain future which is beautiful. So, how do we do this? We hold campus lectures and of course we have academ uh academy courses. It's very basic for you guys.

This is probably very very basic but it's a good way to learn uh how to use and enter the cryptocurrency space. It's uh set up in three different modules. At the end of the three modules, you will get a certificate that gives you a proof that you have a certain good basic knowledge about web three security understanding which is a token, what the value is of a token also security, defy, all these things which are very important if you want to start develop uh if you want to start growing with cryptocurrency in your pocket. So um like I said, BitGet is about six, seven years old, launched in 2018. It's not only a cryptocurrency trading platform.

Um we are trying to integrate as much as possible. So, BitGet as a cryptocurrency trading platform, you will be thinking about spot trading, margin trading, futures, which are very known if you are in the exchange world. But then there's also more. There's on the left uh on the right side there's the learn um portion where you find tutorials, small classes where you can learn to earn basically. So you you have little courses that you follow, you have a few tests and you will earn some cryptocurrency which is pretty good for newcomers so that they can enter bit by bit into the space.

Um then we have the earning part where token launches early uh adopter programs are. Um, you can stake coins to get access to new token launches and be in the early the the first mover advantage. We have the copy trading. Then on the other side, we also have web 3 integration which is very important. Bitget is not only a cryptocurrency trading platform, but I see it more as an onboarding ramp.

It's good for newcomers to get into the cryptocurrency without having all the hack the hassle of remember your memonics, remember your uh priv um private keys, uh remembering all these things that you need to get on the web three uh space. But bit by bit, you can start to enter and discover what's possible on chain. There's some DeFi integration and we also have a web 3 wallet. Uh the web 3 wallet is actually very user friendly. It doesn't need all the specifics that you would need for MetaMask.

So you don't need to set up the mimonics and stuff. It has a very quick login function recoverability through BitGet, but it allows you to interact with the web3 uh technology with DeFi platforms, with exchanges, staking, onchain, discovering all that bit by bit as you dip your toes deeper and deeper in the web three space. So, BitGet is very open to all sorts of collaborations. People who want to launch new tokens, they have funds, they can launch them on the spot exchange. They have less liquidity or already a little bit of a stake in the onchain um side of things.

They can use the web three wallet to get more exposure to newcomers and to a bigger market. So, I hope this was short enough and I didn't talk you guys to sleep. Thank you very much for having us. It was really a pleasure. It's nice to see so many people in the space and uh I think after me it's just time to go eat probably.

Is that it? Thank you.
