VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has appointed Intae Song as Chief Sales Officer, commemorating a key turning point in his tenure with the company. As one of the earliest employees at Bitget, Song has played a key role in shaping the exchange’s approach and is now a Business Partner at the firm. His appointment as the CSO comes at a time when Bitget is the fastest-growing CEX.

Song entered the cryptocurrency sector in 2017 as a personal investor, leveraging his background in investment to navigate the emerging digital asset landscape. In 2020, he joined Bitget in a sales role, where his market expertise and strategic vision contributed to the company’s expansion. Over the years, he has taken on multiple leadership roles, serving as Head of Sales in 2021 before transitioning to Business Partner in 2023. His appointment in 2025 signals a renewed drive to strengthen Bitget’s global presence, refine its competitive edge in the futures market, and expand its reach into emerging sectors of crypto trading.

“Over the years, Intae has played a huge role in shaping our strategy and driving our expansion. He has always been the go-to person when it comes to growth, and his consistent hard work and dedication to the company have truly set him apart. We’re excited to see him take on this new role as Chief Sales Officer, and I’m confident he’ll continue to help us scale even further and take Bitget to new heights,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

A key priority in his new role is to elevate futures trading as a key investment strategy on Bitget. The exchange has built a strong reputation in this segment, and Song aims to further establish it as the dominant force in the industry. Beyond futures, he intends to explore new growth opportunities in institutional-grade trading solutions, advanced risk management tools, and smart trading experiences tailored to both professional and retail users. His focus will also include deepening Bitget’s presence in key global markets, ensuring that the exchange remains adaptable to shifting regulatory landscapes and evolving user demands.

“When I first joined Bitget, it was a rising platform with immense potential. Today, it stands as a major force in the industry with over 100 million users, and the next stage of growth will require innovation, precision, and a relentless drive to push boundaries,” said Intae Song, CSO at Bitget. “The futures market remains our strongest pillar, and my goal is to make it the undisputed leader. At the same time, there is immense potential in expanding our offerings for institutional traders, optimizing liquidity solutions, and creating a more dynamic trading environment. This is not just about growth—it’s about redefining what is possible in crypto trading,” he added.

With Song at the helm of its sales strategy, Bitget is bound for another phase of expansion, strengthening its position as a major player in the cryptocurrency exchange landscape while venturing into new frontiers of digital asset trading.

Amazon Music, DistroKid Face Major Lawsuit for Unpaid Royalties, Shadowbanning

Marc Mysterio Streams/Listeners from 2024 Amazon Music For Artists
Marc Mysterio Streams/Listeners from 2024 Amazon Music For Artists

NEW YORK, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marc Mysterio is an award-winning musician and multi-faceted celebrity who was tapped by IBA Boxing to compete for its vacant championship vs. Jake Paul and collaborated with a who’s-who–according to Billboard–including: Flo Rida, Crash Test Dummies, David Guetta, Avicii, Samantha Fox, and Netflix’ Trailer Park Boys.

As a philanthropist, Marc has supported the One Fund Boston in support of terrorist victims(marathon), and WBC Cares, the charity arm of WBC Boxing.

As a celebrity, he’s covered by: TMZ, Billboard, BBC, ESPN, Irish Star, CBS, Daily Mail (UK), Fox News, and followed on X by NY Post Page 6 and Radar Online.

From September 1st 2023-August 31st, 2024, Marc received 80,000,000+ streams on Amazon Music resulting in US Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Chart (“The Dancefloor”) and scores of Amazon Top Songs Chart appearances.

However, now Marc is suing Amazon and DistroKid alleging that he wasn’t properly compensated for these streams and Fans have been receiving a “streaming error” since September 10th, 2024 when attempting to stream his music and/or request it via Alexa due to “Shadow-Banning.”

Shadow-Banning is the practice of blocking/partially blocking live content so that the ban is not readily apparent to the artist.

“We filed this lawsuit to make sure that Marc Mysterio gets the fruits of his labor as one of the top performers on Amazon Music in 2024, and injunctive relief to end the shadow-ban. Shadow-banning successful artists is an unfair tactic and it allows Amazon, by throttling streams of a song, to interfere with Amazon/Billboard Charts thereby tortiously manipulating the music-business at the expense of creators–IT MUST END!” notes Marc’s Attorney, Michael H. Joseph of Law Office of Michael H. Joseph, PLLC of New York who filed the case in US District Court For The Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:25-cv-01705).

Furthermore, the shadowban has also extended to music distributed–to Amazon–by UnitedMasters according to an email from UnitedMasters Support, with VP of Music, David Melhado, in cc:
“I am currently in the US, and I’m having the same issue with streaming your music. I’ve followed up with Amazon a few times, and am still not hearing back. I’m touching base with our higher-ups to see if we have any further operational contacts we can reach out to.”

Marc Mysterio posted screenshot evidence in support of his claims to his X Account @marc_mysterio directly from his Amazon Music Artists’ Account, for media, including: 1,250,000+ fans/followers, 80,000,000+ streams 15,000,000 unique listeners in 2024, 45,000 Alexa requests in August, Amazon and Billboard Chartings and more.

“DistroKid was paid to distribute Marc’s music and remit 100% of royalties received, whilst Amazon charged Marc’s Fans to stream his music. Defendants need to account royalties due, as well as compensate future losses proximated from the shadow-ban. These losses are already in the millions and will increase by trial date.” Joseph concludes.
