Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget, gives an interview to the BitcoinBázis team for the third time, in which he already talked about the vision of the cryptocurrency exchange, as well as the possible challenges that a female leader will face. A recent interview discussed Donald Trump’s election victory, the rise of bitcoin and the BGB token his superhuman achievements shaped the market, but now we have just passed the largest cryptocurrency liquidation in history and the Hungarian market has also undergone significant changes. This is how Gracy Chen sees the market and Bitget’s situation after six months on the sidelines.
Bitget recently celebrated its seventh anniversary, which is quite important for such a young, yet large company. What does this milestone mean to you and how do you motivate your team to take on the challenges of the coming period?
The seventh anniversary is very special for me. Today, we serve more than 120 million users and operate a $725 million Defense Fund and an industry-leading Proof-of-Reserves system.
But what really inspires us is our Universal Exchange (UEX) vision: creating a platform where real assets and digital assets come together. For me, this milestone is not only about past successes, but also about the new chapter we are opening for our users and the entire industry.
During the first interview we talked about how Bitget achieved excellent success especially in Asia, but now Bitget’s international presence is indisputable. Which initiatives and markets are you currently most proud of?
One of our greatest prides is growing our global user base, which now numbers 120 million people. I would like to highlight our partnership with UNICEF, where we are working to support the education of 300,000 young people, and our partnership with MotoGP, which made Bitget an official crypto partner. Equally important to me is Crypto Experience Month, which reached more than 2,000 participants in 11 cities. These programs all show that crypto can really connect worlds.

The past few months have clearly been about both the European Union and Hungary implementing new, stricter cryptocurrency regulations. How will this impact Bitget’s operations and expansion strategy?
To be honest, I am happy with the regulations. A clear legal framework creates predictability and trust, which benefits the entire sector. Bitget has always strived for the highest level of compliance and security. We are already preparing to obtain the MiCA license and we are openly cooperating with the European authorities, including the Hungarian market. My goal is for Hungarian users to use Bitget safely, confidently and with a long-term commitment.
Speaking of regulations, how has Bitget’s relationship with regulators evolved in recent months? Are there any developments worth mentioning?
We work intensively with European regulators to comply with ever-changing regulations, in particular the MiCA framework. We adopt a proactive approach: we not only respond to changes, but also participate in the professional dialogue. In this way we build stable trust between users and regulators, which lays the foundation for responsible growth in Europe in the long term.
The last time we spoke, Bitget’s BGB token was one of the best performing assets of the year. How do you assess the performance of the device in 2025 and what role do you see for the BGB in the coming years?
The BGB token had an excellent year. Strategic burning and the expansion of usability have all contributed to the stable and continuously increasing value of the token. Of the BGB 440 million transferred to the Morph Foundation, half was burned and the other half frozen for liquidity support. This further strengthened the deflation model and the long-term value stability of the token. BGB is central to our future strategy as a gas and control token within the entire Bitget ecosystem.
By the way, at the time of writing our article, the BGB token is trading at $4.74, having risen 3.5% in the last sixty days. This is related to the historic liquidation that shook the market on October 10 and caused a significant loss of volume for many altcoins (ed.).
Although there have been many developments in recent years that have increased the daily adoption of cryptocurrencies, many people are still skeptical of digital assets. Despite the institutional and government takeover, most people still identify the assets with the black economy. What do you think is the maturity level of the industry today?
The development of the market is spectacular, but it is still undervalued compared to the traditional financial sector. Institutional players are now really starting to get active, which means huge long-term potential. Real Asset Tokenization (RWA), new financial products and platforms like Bitget’s UEX project are bridging the gap between the two worlds – this will be the next big breakthrough.
We’ve previously talked about how artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology are connected. What are the concrete results of this in the case of Bitget?
We are already seeing tangible results. Our AI-based GetAgent system helps users with trading decisions and risk management. Furthermore, AI supports liquidity optimization, personalized experience and on-chain analysis of real assets. Artificial intelligence not only brings efficiency, but also added value for both small investors and institutional actors.

We have entered the final quarter of 2025, which is typically a bullish time of year. How do you see the current market trends? Can we expect a stabilization or even a new revival?
The positive turn is palpable in the crypto sector. In the US, pro-crypto movements by the Trump administration, such as the presidential pardon of CZ and Coinbase, and Binance The closure of the cases against the regime restored institutional trust. Add to this the expected interest rate cuts, the increase in Asian liquidity and the inflow of more than $100 billion in ETFs. Data within the network – such as active whaling and a 56% increase in volume – shows that this is a real capital injection, not speculation. All of this could build momentum in the longer term and even lead to a new ‘utility altcoin season’.
As for the specific figures, the main representatives of the sector made several predictions at the beginning of the year. How do you think these predictions will come true and what can we expect from 2026?
Most of our expectations were confirmed. Macroeconomic stabilization, clearer regulation and strengthening of institutional activity all developed in line with our expectations. Some sectors, such as real asset tokenization and AI integration, even exceeded our estimates. By 2026, I expect further interweaving of crypto and traditional finance, maturity of market structures and new innovations in the Web3 field. Bitget wants to further strengthen its position as a Universal Exchange (UEX), where all devices and communities are connected in one ecosystem.
Over the past year and a half, the cryptocurrency market has seen numerous twists and turns. Since Gracy Chen’s first interview, Ethereum ETFs have been on the rise, and the Trump administration has expressed its open support for the digital asset. Thanks to such global developments, Bitget can now be considered, among other things, one of the largest, most popular and most active centralized cryptocurrency exchanges that serve users at a high level and securely.
