Bitget Launches $100 Million Web3 Fund to Drive Innovation and Collaboration in Asia's Decentralized Ecosystem

Bitget, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a $100 million fund to support web3 projects and initiatives in Asia. The fund, dubbed Bitget Web3 Fund, aims to foster innovation and collaboration in the emerging web3 space, which encompasses decentralized applications, blockchain technologies, and token-based economies.

Web3 is a term coined by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood in 2014, referring to a decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain. Web3 is seen as a potential solution to the problems of centralization, censorship, and lack of ownership that plague the current web2 model, where data and content are controlled by a handful of large technology companies.

Bitget Web3 Fund will invest in web3 projects across various sectors and stages, from early-stage startups to established platforms. The fund will also provide mentorship, technical support, and marketing resources to help web3 projects grow and scale in Asia and beyond.

According to Bitget CEO Sandra Lou, the fund is part of Bitget's vision to promote decentralized finance and empower users with more freedom, security, and privacy. "We believe that web3 is the future of the internet, and we want to support the pioneers and innovators who are building it. As a leading crypto exchange, we have a responsibility to contribute to the development of the web3 ecosystem and bring its benefits to more people around the world," she said.

Bitget Web3 Fund has already invested in several promising web3 projects, such as:

1. Metaverse: A virtual reality platform that allows users to create and explore immersive digital worlds.
2. NFTify: A platform that enables anyone to create, sell, and collect non-fungible tokens (NFTs) without coding skills or high fees.
3. Polkadot: A network that connects multiple blockchains and enables cross-chain interoperability and scalability.
4. Solana: A high-performance blockchain that supports fast, low-cost, and secure transactions.

Bitget Web3 Fund is open to applications from web3 projects that share Bitget's vision and values. Interested parties can submit their proposals through Bitget's official website or email.
