Over the last 15 years, the cryptocurrency industry has seen great achievement and conquer several huddles to get to its current state. With a current market capitalization of over $1.8 trillion, one could say there is lot more to expect from the industry especially with the recent approval of the Grayscale spot Bitcoin ETF.

Centralized exchanges have played a great role in facilitating cryptocurrency adoption and this success can be attributed to some top exchanges like Binance, Bitget, OKX and several others.

One area of concern for the cryptocurrency industry has always been trust. Lots of ugly scenario has happened in the past with last incident of FTX still lingering hence some exchanges have levelled up to give users assurance that their funds are save with them by introducing Proof of reserve and customer protection fund which can be verified.

Bitget is one of the top CEX that continually strive to ensure users have absolute confidence in the platform and aside being regulatory compliant, they have a verifiable PoR and over $424M in customer protection fund.

Aside this convincing steps taken by the exchange, in a bid to further consolidate on their reputation, the exchange partner with Lionel Messi in 2022 and it has been a great partnership, of a fact, everyone knows that Lionel Messi is a public figure that is well known globally and he values the reputation he has built over the last 20 years hence partnering and accepting to be Bitget ambassador signal that he has done his due diligence to accept the offer from the exchange despite been offered a $1M higher by other exchanges.

With over a year of amazing experience created, 2024 already looks promising as the exchange and the football icon are already planning another fantastic partnership "themed" make it count. Can't wait for what 2024 holds for sport lovers and cryptocurrency enthusiasts especially Bitget users. What are your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing this info. I never knew my GOAT was even offered a higher offer to partner with another exchange. His choice of sticking with Bitget has further strengthen my confidence in the exchange. I guess it's also high time most football fans aggressively adopt cryptocurrency considering the recent BTC ETF approval.
