Victoria, Seychelles, December 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – PetgateWeb3, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the merger of its premium digital currencies, Bitget Token (BGB) and Bitget Wallet Token (BWB). The move, driven by strong community demand, aims to unify the two tokens into a single ecosystem token, BGB, which will serve as the ultimate utility token for both Bitget Exchange and Bitget Wallet.

As one of the fastest growing central exchanges (CEXs), Bitget ranks among the top three exchanges globally by trading volume, offering a comprehensive range of pre-market, spot, margin and futures trading services. Bitget Wallet is one of the largest Web3 wallets globally, with over 60 million users and is widely adopted across leading tier 1 and tier 2 ecosystems. Together, Bitget and Bitget Wallet now serve over 100 million users worldwide, securing their position as the second largest CEX ecosystem globally.

“BGB has had an incredible year, increasing its market capitalization by more than 750%, making it the best-performing CEX token in 2024. This success is supported by strong community support and growing demand for BGB across different use cases.” Gracie Chen, CEO of Bitget, commented: “By merging BGB and BWB, we are taking a big step toward building a unified and robust ecosystem that connects on-chain and off-chain applications. This move will enhance the utility of BGB, and ensure that every holder benefits from the growth of Bitget’s ecosystem.”

Through the merger, BGB will become the unified token driving the growth of the Bitget ecosystem. It will be deeply integrated into decentralized applications (DApps), becoming a core asset within major blockchain ecosystems and supporting staking in lending protocols and DeFi applications. It will also power Bitget Wallet services, including Fair Launchpool and multi-chain gas toll payments. Additionally, BGB will explore real-world use cases, allowing users to pay for dining, travel, fuel, shopping and more, providing a seamless Web3 PayFi experience.

To facilitate a smooth transition, BWB holders on the Bitget exchange can switch their BWB to BGB automatically. In detail, BWB tokens will be converted to BGB at a ratio of 0.08563, calculated using the 7-day average closing price of the BWB/USDT pair on Bitget. After the swap, all BWB tokens will be burned, and the equivalent BGB will be dropped to user accounts. BWB trading and related services will be suspended on December 27.

“As the cryptocurrency market matures, only the most resilient assets with strong ecosystems and real value can thrive through the cycles. BGB, ranked among the top 30 tokens, has proven itself as a leading token with exceptional liquidity and a strong community,” he added. The merger will strengthen BGB’s role within the Bitget ecosystem and create new opportunities for it to explore the dynamic decentralized world. Gracie Chen, CEO of Bitget.
