Forbes classe Bitget parmi les Bourses de crypto-monnaies les plus fiables au monde

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 31 janv. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, la principale Bourse de crypto-monnaies et société Web3, a été citée par Forbes dans son classement des 25 Bourses de crypto-monnaies les plus fiables au monde. Occupant la huitième place du classement, Bitget a déclaré un afflux d’utilisateurs au cours de la dernière année ainsi qu’une myriade de mises à niveau et de collaborations qui ont contribué à la mettre en bonne position pour effectuer son entrée dans le club. Le classement met à l’honneur des Bourses de crypto-monnaies du monde entier, dont notamment des acteurs de premier plan tels que Coinbase, Binance et Robinhood.

Bitget Limited

Récemment, dans son rapport de transparence, Bitget a fait état d’une augmentation de 400 % de sa base d’utilisateurs qui a dépassé les 100 millions d’utilisateurs en décembre, tandis que le volume des transactions au comptant est passé de 160 milliards de dollars au premier trimestre à 600 milliards de dollars au quatrième trimestre. De la collaboration avec les athlètes nationaux turcs à la légendaire ligue de football LALIGA en passant par l’arrivée de nouveaux membres dans l’équipe de direction de l’entreprise et la création de plusieurs licences, Bitget a renforcé sa position de leader mondial en se hissant au rang de deuxième plus grand écosystème d’échange cryptographique.

Bitget se concentre sur ses marchés d’expansion via un marketing localisé, des partenariats, ainsi que des initiatives pédagogiques. La Bourse propose une intégration simplifiée, des passerelles vers les monnaies fiduciaires ainsi qu’un support client localisé afin de faciliter l’accès. Bitget investit également dans l’éducation à la blockchain, les parrainages stratégiques et les programmes d’incitations afin de fidéliser les utilisateurs dans les régions à forte croissance. Avec l’arrivée de Hon NG chez Bitget au poste de directeur juridique, l’équipe témoigne désormais d’un ferme engagement en matière de conformité. Récemment, Bitget a obtenu l’approbation du Royaume-Uni, une licence BSP au Salvador, et a même ouvert une nouvelle Bourse au Vietnam qu’elle pourra gérer conformément aux exigences locales.

Un récent rapport de CCData met en évidence le succès de Bitget dont la part de marché a atteint 4,25 %, dépassant ainsi son précédent record historique enregistré en avril 2024. La comparaison de l’évolution de la part de marché du marché au comptant et des produits dérivés combinés révèle que Bitget, Coinbase et Crypto(dot)com ont été les plus grands bénéficiaires de l’année 2024 avec une augmentation de leurs parts de marché de 4,05 %, 3,89 % et 3,39 % à 10,5 %, 5,43 % et 4,71 % respectivement.

Précédemment, le jeton Bitget (BGB) avait été classé par Forbes parmi les 10 crypto-monnaies les plus performantes pour le premier semestre 2024. Depuis lors, le BGB a dépassé toutes les attentes en affichant une augmentation de plus de 1 000 % l’année dernière. En réduisant l’offre de BGB, en améliorant l’utilité et en élargissant le périmètre des applications concrètes, Bitget prévoit de renforcer un plus grand nombre de fonctionnalités et de produits au sein de l’écosystème Bitget, ce qui permettra de favoriser une croissance durable et de générer de la valeur à long terme pour les détenteurs.

L’arrivée de Bitget dans le classement 2025 des Bourses cryptographiques les plus fiables au monde publié par Forbes souligne son développement remarquable et sa crédibilité croissante dans le secteur. Avec un score élevé de détention de BTC-ETH et une attention particulière portée à la transparence, Bitget est aujourd’hui l’une des Bourses cryptographiques les plus sécurisés au monde. Avec une preuve de réserves transparente qui garantit 100 % de ses actifs et un fonds de protection doté de 600 millions de dollars qui protège ses utilisateurs, la Bourse a accéléré sa croissance dans le monde entier. Son inclusion dans le classement de Forbes illustre l’influence croissante de la Bourse dans le domaine des crypto-monnaies.

À propos de Bitget

Fondée en 2018, Bitget est la première Bourse de cryptomonnaies et société Web3 au monde. Au service de plus de 100 millions d’utilisateurs répartis dans plus de 150 pays et régions, la Bourse Bitget s’engage à aider les utilisateurs à trader plus intelligemment grâce à sa fonctionnalité révolutionnaire de copy trading et ses autres solutions de trading, tout en fournissant un accès en temps réel aux cours du Bitcoin, de l’Ethereum et d’autres cryptomonnaies. Anciennement connu sous le nom de BitKeep, Bitget Wallet est un portefeuille cryptographique multi-chaînes de classe mondiale qui offre une gamme de solutions et de fonctionnalités Web3 complètes, dont notamment des fonctionnalités de portefeuille, d’échange de jetons, une place de marché NFT et un navigateur DApp, entre autres.

Bitget est le fer de lance de l’adoption des cryptomonnaies grâce à des partenariats stratégiques, comme en témoigne son rôle de partenaire crypto officiel de la meilleure ligue de football au monde, LA LIGA, dans les régions EASTERN, SEA et LATAM, ou encore de partenaire mondial des athlètes olympiques turcs Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu (championne du monde de lutte), Samet Gümüş (médaille d’or de boxe) et İlkin Aydın (équipe nationale de volley-ball). Bitget a pour vocation d’inciter la population mondiale à embrasser l’avenir des cryptomonnaies.

القاهرة، مصر – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 يناير 2025 – حصلت فودافون مصر على المركز الأول في قائمة أفضل أماكن العمل للنساء فيما يُعد تكريمًا مرموقًا يحتفي بالتزام الشركة الراسخ بتهيئة مكان عمل شامل وعادل وداعم للنساء، ويؤكد هذا الإنجاز على ريادة فودافون مصر في إنشاء ثقافة تعزز التنوع وتُمكِّن الموظفات من التفوق على المستويين الشخصي والمهني.

يتم اختيار أفضل أماكن العمل للنساء على أساس تقييم دقيق لممارسات وسياسات ومبادرات مكان العمل التي تستهدف تمكين المرأة، ويُعد المركز الأول الذي شغلته فودافون مصر دليلًا على برامجها التي تهدف إلى التفكير المستقبلي وتتضمن فرص الإرشاد، وتنمية المهارات القيادية، وترتيبات العمل المرنة، والمبادرات التي تهدف إلى تحقيق المساواة بين الجنسين في جميع مستويات المنظمة.

وقفت شركة فودافون مصر في صدارة المدافعين عن المساواة بين الجنسين، حيث أطلقت عدة مبادرات، ومنها على سبيل المثال لا الحصر:‎

  • سياسات إجازة الوالدين: تتميز فودافون مصر بريادتها في تطبيق برنامج إجازة الوالدين والذي يقدم فرصًا متساوية للأمهات والآباء، مما يدعم الأسر ويتيح التقدم الوظيفي.
  • تنمية المهارات القيادية: برامج مستهدفة لتوجيه النساء وترقيتهن لتولي مناصب قيادية، مما يضمن تمثيل المرأة على أعلى المستويات القيادية.
  • ثقافة داعمة: بيئة عمل تدعم بقوة التنوع والشمول من خلال إنشاء مجموعات موارد الموظفين، والتدريب، والتحفيز ارتباط الموظفين بمؤسسة العمل بشكل مستمر.

قالت نجلاء قناوي، مديرة الموارد البشرية في فودافون مصر، في بيان لها: “يشرفنا بشدة الحصول على هذه الجائزة المرموقة التي تُعد شاهدًا على التزامنا الراسخ بتمكين المرأة ودعم تطلعاتها المهنية. يؤكد هذا التكريم تفانينا في تعزيز المساواة بين الجنسين وتهيئة بيئة ]عمل[ شاملة.

يوضح هذا الإنجاز رؤيتنا في تهيئة مكان عمل يمكّن المرأة من قيادة التغيير، والتشجيع على الإبداع، والسعي إلى التميز يوميًا، وهو ما يساهم مباشرةً في نجاحنا واستدامتنا على المدى الطويل. يأتي هذا التكريم نتيجةً لمبادرات وبرامج مبتكرة مختلفة تستهدف تمكين المرأة، والتي أثرت تأثيرًا عميقًا ومستمرًا مما أدى إلى تعزيز مستويات رضا الموظفات لدينا إلى حد كبير”.

بصفتها شركة رائدة في مصر، ونظرًا لجهودها المحلية لتعزيز التنوع والمساواة بين الجنسين داخل المجتمعات التي تخدمها، يُعد هذا التكريم علامة فارقة في أداء مهمة الشركة الأوسع نطاقًا لدعم المساواة والشمول في جميع مجالات عملياتها.

East Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (EA-ECS) and the East African Community (EAC): Driving Energy Across the Region

With the theme “Resource Wealth. Energy Access. Investment Opportunities” the two-day summit will explore what this means for private sector opportunities in depth

ARUSHA, Tanzania – EQS Newswire – 30 January 2025 – The expansion of the East African regional energy sector is happening right now and is set for future growth.  This was the clear message from the East Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (EA-ECS) as the two-day summit kicked off in Arusha.

Africa’s energy IPPs, EPCF stakeholders, investors and policy makers were welcomed to a summit set to shape the future of East Africa’s energy landscape by Jean-Baptiste Havugimana, Director Productive Sectors, East African Community (EAC).

Speaking at the opening ceremony, he noted that the access to electricity in the East African region is currently below 50 percent on average, although countries such as Kenya have gone beyond 75 percent.

“The EAC Secretariat is cooperating with all Member States to increase the rate of access. This is being achieved through shared mini hydro power grids strategically placed along border regions. The EAC is also working to establish a regional power exchange market for shared resources,” said Mr.Havugimana.

Abundant resource discoveries and large-scale projects highlight East Africa’s readiness for market expansion like never before. In the round table titled “Powering East Africa—The Time Is Now,” leaders from the public sector and utilities from Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania discussed the vision and roadmap for the future.   

Costa Rubagumya, Deputy MD, TANESCO, Tanzania said, “Our country connects an average of 500,000 new clients per year. But with Tanzania being among the 12 signatories of Mission 300, from the recent African Energy Summit, the country targets to triple the number to 1.6 million new customers per annum.”

With the theme “Resource Wealth. Energy Access. Investment Opportunities” the two-day summit will explore what this means for private sector opportunities in depth.

Some of the discussions expected to take center stage  is the push for alternative sources of energy.  Stakeholders have emphasized the importance of a diversified energy mix to ensure grid stability and support large-scale industrial expansion and commercial and industrial (C&I) power generation.

Joseph Siror , the Managing Director and  Chief Executive Officer of Kenya Power and Lighting (KPLC) said the East African countries should now move away from over dependency on Hydro sources of energy. He pointed out that, with climate change and fluctuating weather patterns, hydroelectricity is no longer reliable and the EAC region must now consider auxiliary power sources such as Geothermal, Solar, Wind and Biogas.

EA-ECS is welcoming prominent politicians and leaders from across the EAC and its energy sector. They join the private sector business developers shaping the future of East Africa’s energy landscape.
