Bitget Names Intae Song as
Chief Sales Officer
Song
entered the cryptocurrency sector in 2017 as a personal investor before joining
Bitget in 2020 in a
sales role. He was appointed Head of Sales in 2021 and became a Business
Partner in 2023.
Now, after
nearly two years, he is returning to the position of CSO. He will work to
enhance Bitget’s competitive edge in the futures market while developing
institutional-grade trading solutions and advanced risk management tools,
according to the company’s announcement.
“Over
the years, Intae has played a huge role in shaping our strategy and driving our
expansion,” said
Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “We’re confident he’ll continue to help us
scale further and take Bitget to new heights.”
In August
of last year, the company made another high-profile hire: Hon
Ng, former Binance Legal Chief, joined the team as the new Chief Legal
Officer.
100 Million Users
The
appointment comes as
Bitget reports having over 100 million users across more than 150 countries and
regions. According to the company, Song will focus on strengthening
Bitget’s futures trading market presence while exploring new growth
opportunities.
In the
meantime, the Bitget Wallet surged past 60
million users,
marking a 300% growth in 2024.
“When
I first joined Bitget, it was a rising platform with immense potential. Today,
it stands as a major force in the industry,” said Song. “The futures
market remains our strongest pillar, and my goal is to make it the undisputed
leader.”
Established
in 2018, Bitget offers cryptocurrency trading services including spot and
futures trading along with copy trading features. The company also operates a
multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet, formerly known as BitKeep.
Sports Partnerships
The
exchange has established several sports partnerships, serving
as the Official Crypto Partner of LALIGA in certain regions.
“Over the
last decade, digitalization and innovation have been among LALIGA’s
priorities,” Javier Tebas, president of LALIGA, commented on the partnership.
“Last season, we made this a priority under the umbrella of our New Era, which
emphasized technology: we want to be pioneers, and we are committed to it.”
Moreover, the
crypto exchange is partnering with Turkish national athletes including
wrestling world champion Buse
Tosun Çavuşoğlu.
