Bitget Dedicates $300 Million to DApps and Web3 Funds

Three weeks ago, Bitget introduced its Bitget Web3 Fund, starting with a significant seed capital of $100 million. This fund is designed to fuel the growth of emerging crypto projects by backing Web3-focused venture capital enterprises and Web3 initiatives.

Shortly following this, Bitget declared a strategic alliance with Core DAO, a body committed to expanding the Satoshi Plus ecosystem. This joint venture will lead to the creation of a $200 million ecosystem fund to aid the progress and proliferation of decentralized applications (DApps).

Chen noted, "This investment is another show of proof of our commitment to supporting blockchain space from various angles."

In its latest strategic step, Bitget has successfully achieved registration in Lithuania, thereby enabling the firm to offer crypto-centric services in alignment with the region's regulations. In an earlier announcement in November, Bitget confirmed the establishment of a new branch in Seychelles, which was a move aimed at bolstering its international expansion. Additionally, the digital assets exchange plans to augment its current staff base by 50%, aiming to reach 1,200 employees within the year.
