Bitget Unveils New Ad Featuring FC Barcelona Star Raphinha to Champion Smarter Crypto Solutions

Bitget Unveils New Ad Featuring FC Barcelona Star Raphinha to Champion Smarter Crypto Solutions

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, and Web3 company, is kicking off a dynamic new campaign with LALIGA, featuring Barcelona’s electrifying winger Raphinha. The new collaboration highlights Bitget’s innovative trading products—Copy Trading, Launchpool, and Pre-market—drawing a clever parallel between the precision of elite football and the strategy behind smart crypto trading via a series of videos that will be launched throughout the month of April.

Just as Raphinha dances past defenders with samba flair or executes tiki-taka precision on the pitch, Bitget’s tools empower traders to navigate the crypto markets with agility and foresight. The campaign’s three commercials showcase this harmony, blending LALIGA’s cutting-edge approach to sports with Bitget’s tech-driven trading solutions.

“In football, split-second decisions make the difference between a goal and a miss,” said Jorge de la Vega, LALIGA executive director. “Partnering with Bitget reflects our shared focus on innovation, performance, and strategy—whether on the field or in the markets.”

Raphinha, who recently hit 50 goal contributions for FC Barcelona this season, echoed the sentiment: “Football and trading both demand quick thinking and the right tools. Bitget’s platform helps traders stay ahead, just like we do on the pitch.”

The campaign isn’t just about star power; it’s about engagement. Bitget will roll out user education initiatives and trading challenges, allowing participants to win exclusive LALIGA prizes, including match tickets to see Raphinha in action for league leaders FC Barcelona. Think of it as a hat-trick of opportunities: learn, trade, and win.

“What excites me most about this partnership isn’t just the shared spotlight between crypto and football; it’s how fundamentally alike these worlds are. When Raphinha receives the ball, he’s processing positioning, momentum, and opportunity in real-time, much like a skilled trader reading market movements,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. She added, “We’ve built tools that give users that same edge: Copy Trading lets you learn from the pros, Launchpool brings effortless passive income, and Pre-market offers early winning opportunities. This campaign celebrates that strategic mindset whether you’re trading on our platform or watching Raphinha light up the Camp Nou.”

LALIGA’s reputation for embracing technology aligns perfectly with Bitget’s mission to make crypto trading accessible and intuitive. Both industries thrive on strategy, timing, and execution—whether it’s a perfectly placed through ball or a well-timed trade. This campaign marks the latest chapter in Bitget’s growing sports legacy, having partnered with football legend Lionel Messi and the Italian football club Juventus. As the campaign unfolds, Bitget and LALIGA aim to inspire fans and traders alike to embrace a smarter, more strategic approach, both in crypto and beyond.

NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marc Mysterio, a Billboard-charting artist and undefeated professional boxer—IBA Boxing has issued a letter sanctioning Marc Mysterio vs. Jake Paul for their vacant 220 lbs title—has introduced new evidence in his lawsuit against Amazon Music (Case No. 1:25-cv-01705, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York), alleging the platform used an “IF/THEN” filter to cripple his music’s viability.

The Irish-Canadian artist, who logged 80 million streams from September 2023 to August 2024 as a voluntary Amazon Exclusive Artist, claims Amazon’s filter replaced artist-level metadata with a “-” white-out symbol—rendering songs artist-less—preventing fan alerts and stations’ streams.

Court filings include a letter of preservation requesting 17 items, such as Amazon’s logs identifying when the alleged filter was activated, who authorized it, user error reports, and the implementing programmer’s user-ID.

Mysterio music appeared on Taylor Swift’s station—generating 3.7 million streams in 2024 before bottoming out in September—asserts the shadowban handcuffed his reach.

Mysterio has urged Taylor Swift to remove her catalog from Amazon due to the shadowban, given Swift’s legacy of advocating for artists’ rights—from her Spotify boycott to supporting Kesha—her voice would be a game-changer.

The two also share a mutual friend, All Elite Wrestling’s Jeff Jarrett.

“I’ve posted video evidence on shadowban.me —a 3-Part Series—I’m calling on Taylor to stand with me in unity against shadow-banning. When she pulls her catalog from Amazon, it solidifies her as The Anti-Hero. Jeff has my contact details—let’s talk,” Mysterio states.

Swift’s partner, Travis Kelce, was also co-featured in a Billboard article with Mysterio for new chart entries.

Mysterio’s lawsuit—seeking millions in lost and unpaid royalties— follows recent Billboard-Hit “The Dancefloor” and collaborations with Flo Rida, David Guetta, Crash Test Dummies, Samantha Fox, Netflix’s “Trailer Park Boys”, and Avicii (according to Billboard).

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 April 2025 – ​ Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) Mr Charles Ng yesterday (April 10) concluded his visit to the Middle East, covering Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai, highlighting Hong Kong’s role as a strategic gateway for Middle Eastern enterprises to expand in the Asia-Pacific region including Mainland China.

Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong Mr Charles Ng yesterday (April 10) concluded his visit to the Middle East, covering Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai, highlighting Hong Kong’s role as a strategic gateway for Middle Eastern enterprises to expand in the Asia-Pacific region including Mainland China.

During the visit, Mr Ng met with business leaders, family office representatives and industry stakeholders across Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, including representatives from Investopia. He also attended a series of high-level business roundtables entitled Hong Kong Growth Dialogues: Building Asia’s Future Super-Corridor, co-organised with Asia House. He also met with local media and elaborated on Hong Kong’s business advantages.

Mr Ng said, “Hong Kong, as a global financial centre, an innovation and technology base, and a ‘super connector’ between Mainland China and international markets, offers abundant business opportunities from recent key developments, including the Northern Metropolis, the Airport City Skytopia and West Kowloon Cultural District, etc. We welcome businesses from the Middle East to capitalise on the opportunities our city offers.”

Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong Mr Charles Ng yesterday (April 10) concluded his visit to the Middle East, covering Riyadh, Jeddah and Dubai, highlighting Hong Kong’s role as a strategic gateway for Middle Eastern enterprises to expand in the Asia-Pacific region including Mainland China.

He added, “Hong Kong’s strategic position in Asia, coupled with the Middle East’s long-term strategies, such as Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Centennial 2071, fosters collaboration and shared economic growth. By leveraging Hong Kong’s business advantages, we can strengthen co-operation in various areas, including finance, technology, trade, sustainability and tourism amid a fast-changing global economic landscape.”

Hong Kong and the Middle East are deepening financial and economic ties, creating powerful synergies for cross-border investment and shared growth. Recent developments, including cross-listed ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and the recognition of key Middle Eastern stock exchanges as Recognised Stock Exchanges, underscore the growing integration of capital markets between two regions. During the visit, Mr Ng also promoted Hong Kong’s Islamic finance capabilities, citing its successful issuance of three government sukuk and a level playing field for Shariah-compliant products through tax neutrality measures.

Participants at the events expressed keen interest in Hong Kong’s business environment and connectivity. Vice President of the Logistics Division at Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo Group Mrs Saffia Abdulla Kanoo said, “I gained valuable insights into Hong Kong and its key sectors through the roundtable discussions. I was particularly impressed by the city’s robust financial infrastructure, strong rule of law, and its role as a hub for innovation and capital flows. The session was highly informative and engaging, inspiring me to further explore the opportunities available in Hong Kong.”

Bitget Records $2.08 Trillion Total Trading Volume in Q1 2025; Spot Trading Surged 159% QoQ

Bitget Records $2.08 Trillion Total Trading Volume in Q1 2025; Spot Trading Surged 159% QoQ

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, Bitget ended the first quarter of 2025 with $2.08 trillion in total trading volume, driven by a sharp 159% increase in spot trading, which reached $387 billion. The spike came amid heightened market participation and sustained momentum across new listings and core product lines.

User growth remained strong. Bitget added 4.89 million users on its CEX platform and 15 million users on Bitget Wallet in Q1 alone, bringing the platform’s global user base to over 120 million—a nearly 20% rise. Bitget’s native token, BGB, had a volatile but net-positive quarter. The period also saw the introduction of a refreshed roadmap for BGB, outlining expanded utility in staking, Launchpad participation, and integrations with new DeFi ecosystems. A quarterly burn schedule remains in place to manage supply-side pressures.

Security stayed front and center, especially after a record-breaking $2.1 billion was lost to crypto hacks industry-wide. Bitget transferred nearly $100 million in ETH to Bybit after its breach, a move that signaled a rare but critical exchange-to-exchange alignment in times of crisis. Meanwhile, Bitget’s Proof-of-Reserves consistently exceeded the 130% mark through Q1. Its Protection Fund grew from $495 million in January to $514 million by March, tracking a cautious yet upward trend in asset reserves.

“This quarter’s performance shows the value of staying agile in a volatile environment. In the next quarter, we will continue to focus on institutional-grade infrastructure and double down on expanding its Web3 presence through our ecosystem. Compliance remains a key pillar as the exchange navigates tighter global oversight while staying anchored to its core ethos: helping users trade smarter,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

Beyond product performance, Bitget broadened its global footprint through on-ground events and targeted initiatives. It entered motorsports by sponsoring Brazilian driver Flávio Sampaio in the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup and hosted Ramadan-focused gatherings across MENA and Asia. Over 60,000 meals were distributed during the holy month through donations from local partners.

The Blockchain4Her initiative, launched in 2024 with $10 million earmarked for long-term deployment, marked its first anniversary. The program welcomed three new ambassadors and ran activations in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe aimed at onboarding more women into Web3.

Bitget also advanced its infrastructure and integrations. AI-backed trading tool Bitget Seed was introduced to identify and list early-stage tokens with strong on-chain signals. Integrations with Zen and Callpay improved fiat onramps across Europe and South Africa. BGB’s liquidity expanded further through Morph Chain and Bulbaswap.

Bitget continues to scale its infrastructure, onboard new users, and optimize for resilience. With a robust user pipeline, rising token activity, and new partnerships in motion, the platform is set for another strong quarter.
