Bitget Token (BGB) Burn Model Updated with First Quarterly Burn Exceeding 30 Million Tokens
VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced a significant update to the burn mechanism of Bitget Token (BGB). This enhancement introduces a utility-based model that ties BGB's quarterly burn amount to its on-chain usage, signifying the token's evolution towards higher transparency, compliance, and sustainable token value.
To better reflect the growing integration of BGB across centralized and decentralized ecosystems, the new burn mechanism links quarterly burn volumes to the amount of BGB used for on-chain gas fees through Bitget Wallet's GetGas accounts. By anchoring the burn to real usage, the model facilitates BGB's transformation as a key asset within Web3 and real-world applications. The burn formula accounts for BGB's usage as gas fees, quarterly average price, and predefined constants to ensure a dynamic and verifiable process.
The first quarterly burn under this new mechanism has now been calculated. In Q1 2025, 6,943.63 BGB were topped up in Bitget Wallet's GetGas accounts for on-chain gas fee usage. Based on the new formula, a total of 30,006,905 BGB will be burnt in this quarter. All data related to the burn — including transaction records and wallet addresses — are publicly accessible on-chain to ensure full transparency.
'BGB is becoming a vital bridge between centralized and decentralized ecosystems. By linking its burn mechanism to actual on-chain utility, BGB's quarterly burn amount can evolve with real usage. This update incentivizes adoption and enables transparent and sustainable tokenomics,' said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. 'As BGB continues to expand its role in on-chain ecosystems, a more sustainable burn mechanism can be expected.'
Bitget Token (BGB) is the utility token that fuels the entire Bitget ecosystem, spanning both its centralized exchange and decentralized wallet. BGB can be staked to earn passive income or qualify for popular token airdrops via Launchpool and PoolX. It also unlocks early access to high-potential Web3 projects through Launchpad and LaunchX. On-chain, BGB is used to cover multi-chain gas fees in Bitget Wallet. Holding BGB grants users exclusive perks such as VIP-level upgrades and profit-sharing opportunities for elite traders. More than just a token, BGB is a gateway for users to engage with, influence, and grow alongside the Bitget ecosystem.
Earlier this year, the BGB ecosystem was strengthened by permanently burning 800 million team-held tokens, representing 40% of the total supply. Following this burn in January 2025, the total supply was reduced to 1.2 billion, with 100% now in circulation.
Launched in July 2021 at an initial price of 0.0585 USDT, BGB reached an all-time high of 8.5 USDT in December 2024 — delivering over 100x in cumulative gains. According to CoinMarketCap, it now ranks among the top three CEX native tokens by market cap and is listed as a top 30 crypto asset.

One such emerging force is LF Labs, a multi-pronged Web3 infrastructure builder that is rapidly gaining traction. Rather than confining itself to a single function or product, LF Labs is constructing a full-stack crypto ecosystem aimed at solving the fragmentation in blockchain adoption. Its offerings span across the entire value chain—from early-stage project acceleration to merchant-ready crypto payment tools—bringing Web3 closer to everyday users and businesses. More Than Funding: Building Sustainable Projects At the heart of LF Labs is the LF Accelerator launchpad initiative which provides early-stage crypto startups with access to a robust market. Source: LF Labs Medium This approach makes LF Labs more than just an investor. It becomes a strategic partner committed to long-term success, offering both capital and operational infrastructure. With an emphasis on building sustainable token economies, LF Labs aims to set a higher bar for what early-stage support should look like in Web3.

Enter the LF Wallet — a soon-to-launch, non-custodial wallet designed for mainstream usage. This non-custodial wallet is designed to be the user's all-in-one crypto control center. It will offer features like staking, swapping, and most notably, integration with Point-of-Sale (PoS) machines. The wallet will also support LF Coin-based post payment options, enabling users to make real-world purchases and settle payments later using LF Coin. This flexible model is a bold step toward bridging crypto with traditional consumer behavior- buy now, pay later, but decentralized. Source: Crypto at the Checkout: LF PoS Devices LF Labs' blockchain-powered Point-of-Sale system brings crypto payments to merchants of all kinds—whether food trucks, retail stores, or Web3 events—by enabling on-the-spot transactions just like credit or debit cards. Designed for speed, security, and broad token compatibility (including LF Coin), each terminal syncs directly with the LF Wallet, allowing users to pay instantly and merchants to receive instant confirmations without worrying about volatility or complex conversions. Early access for the devices is now open via with limited units available. A Complete Ecosystem, Not Just a Product What distinguishes LF Labs is its holistic approach. By combining investment, liquidity services, user wallets, and merchant hardware, it offers a full-stack infrastructure solution for crypto's next growth phase. While many projects focus on one layer of the stack, LF Labs connects them all—helping tokens launch, scale, and become usable in the real world. The result is a powerful, unified ecosystem where both users and businesses can participate confidently. Positioned for the Future of Web3 As the Web3 economy continues to evolve, LF Labs is emerging as a frontrunner in real-world crypto infrastructure. With its wallet, PoS devices, and accelerator program all advancing rapidly, it is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between speculation and utility.

Bitget Secures Digital Asset License in Georgia, Running its Global Expansion Strategy in Eastern Europe
VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has secured regulatory approval in Georgia to operate as a provider of digital asset exchange and custodial wallet services through the Tbilisi Free Zone (TFZ). The new licensing development is a strategic expansion aligned with Bitget's plans of growing its licensing portfolio in Eastern Europe, a region increasingly dictating the growth of crypto through open regulatory frameworks and progressive economic outlooks. Georgia has emerged as a notable hub for crypto innovation, drawing attention with its pro-business stance and supportive environment for crypto and blockchain companies. Ranked among the top countries for crypto mining per capita and blockchain integration, Georgia has actively pursued policies to align with global financial standards while embracing the strong potential of emerging cryptospace. The Tbilisi Free Zone offers tax advantages and has set frameworks and procedures for companies in the digital asset space, making it a hotbed for international players seeking operational flexibility with regulatory clarity. 'Regions with strong crypto-friendly frameworks are creating the foundation for the next era of finance. Georgia is an example of how strategic policymaking can open doors for growth while guarding users' safety and increasing accessibility. Bitget's goal is to work hand-in-hand with jurisdictions that understand the long game—where crypto is a synonym for the new emerging global economic infrastructure,' said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. Bitget's entrance into Georgia aligns with its broader objective of strengthening its presence in markets that support responsible innovation. As crypto adoption accelerates in Eastern Europe, the region has become increasingly important for digital asset platforms looking to serve both institutional and retail users under compliant structures. Regulatory transparency in jurisdictions like Georgia helps ensure that growth is matched with accountability, a principle that aligns with Bitget's international expansion approach. Bitget currently holds registrations in several key jurisdictions across Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. These include AUSTRAC in Australia, OAM in Italy, and Virtual Asset Service Provider listings in Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic. In the UK, Bitget operates its FCA-approved platform partnering with an Authorized Person for the purposes of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. In addition, Bitget's recent licenses in El Salvador and registration Argentina adds depth to its reach across both rising and established economies, marking a deliberate move into markets shaping the next wave of crypto adoption. The newly acquired license in Georgia builds on this momentum—signaling a preference for regions implementing crypto-friendly frameworks and regulatory prudence. Each new license marks yet another step towards Bitget's global strategy to include crypto into everyday infrastructure with high quality products, world-class security and strong compliance towards local regulations.
