Bitget has appointed Min Lin, a former Goldman Sachs executive and Binance VP for Latin America, as its Chief Business Officer.
In a press release shared with DeFi Planet, the crypto exchange stated that the addition will help accelerate its growth and enhance its global reach. It noted that Lin brings deep expertise from his previous roles, focusing on regulatory compliance and expansion at Binance and Goldman Sachs.
According to CEO Gracy Chen, Lin’s appointment aligns with the company’s mission to drive innovation and reach emerging markets, where demand for centralized exchanges is growing rapidly. Bitget recently announced that it now serves over 45 million users across more than 150 countries.
“We are thrilled to welcome Min to our leadership team,” Chen stated. “His exceptional experience in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns perfectly with our strategic goals. Strengthening our leadership with top talent is central to Bitget’s commitment to delivering innovative, user-focused products and services.”
Lin expressed enthusiasm for his new role:
“The company’s impressive growth and commitment to user-focused innovation stand out. I’m looking forward to working with this talented team to build a trusted ecosystem and expand crypto’s reach to new audiences.”
This appointment follows Bitget’s recent collaboration with Solayer to introduce BGSOL, a liquid staking token for Solana (SOL). BGSOL enables users to stake SOL and earn rewards while retaining asset liquidity, a feature designed to increase flexibility for trading, lending, and other DeFi activities. Chen noted that BGSOL offers users “a more flexible financial solution, unlocking new opportunities within the DeFi ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, Bitget’s robust Q3 2024 performance has further cemented its position as the fourth-largest crypto exchange. Commenting on this milestone, Chen remarked, “Our growth reflects our commitment to providing an accessible, secure, and innovative trading platform. We aim to shape the future of blockchain and finance, driving financial freedom for the next billion users with user-friendly digital solutions.”
