Overview
The second quarter of 2024 was a lot more different than the previous quarter. Bitcoin halving occurred in April, adding post-halving pressure on miners followed by BTC price drops and altcoins losing their ATHs. The memecoin frenzy kicked in and popular chains accumulated a huge interest from users. Nevertheless, celebrity-based tokens plummeted dramatically within a few days of launch. While most were playing, Bitget was preparing, adding more developments to its ecosystem.
Quarterly Highlights
Bitget partnered up with Turkish National Athletes - Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu (Wrestling team), Samet Gümüş (Boxing team) and İlkin Aydın (Volleyball team) under the #MakeItCount Campaign
The #MakeItCount campaign was initially launched with Lionel Messi in 2022, now adds the latest formed sports collaborations representing Bitget's vision of inspiring and empowering its users in Turkey and globally.
The athletes embodied attributes - Perservance, Positive Passion and No Progress too Small, which were identified through their hard work and dedication in their respective sports. These qualities synchronised with Bitget's #MakeItCount campaign, which aimed to inspire and empower audiences to achieve new heights and make a lasting impact. Each athlete brought forth a unique story of dedication and success, making them ideal pillars for the #MakeItCount initiative.
On the market side, Turkey is experiencing substantial growth in its cryptocurrency market. Meanwhile, Bitget has observed tremendous growth across multiple metrics from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024. Signups have increased by over 70%, total trading volume has surged by more than 270%, and net deposit amounts have climbed by 240%. This growth aligned with our plans of collaborating with Turkish national athletes.
Bitget and Foresight Ventures launched a $20M Ton Foundation Fund
We launched the $20 million TON Ecosystem Fund in alliance with Foresight Ventures, aiming to support early-stage projects building on The Open Network (TON). This strategic initiative highlights the duo's commitment to fostering innovation and development within the TON ecosystem.
The $20 million TON Ecosystem Fund aims to fully support the development of projects within the TON ecosystem. By leveraging Telegram's vast user base, Bitget aligns with its vision of driving mass adoption of cryptocurrency and creating a more equitable future through crypto evolution. The fund will actively seek out and support promising projects, providing them with the necessary liquidity to thrive on the Bitget platform.

Bitget Research: Diving into Deepfake
The cryptocurrency sector has historically underestimated the risks posed by deepfakes, resulting in incomplete data from 2017 to 2021. To provide a comprehensive analysis, a deepfake report from Bitget Research includes data from 2022 and forecasts trends for 24 months, from Q1 2022 to Q1 2024. This approach was rooted in user reports and suspicions of illicit transactions involving deepfakes. Information was collected from partners and specialists in fake detection, and experiences were shared with other cryptocurrency companies.
The report highlighted multiple data points including how cryptocurrency fraud losses hit $79.1 billion since early 2022 and that crypto fraud losses are rising despite government efforts. Global deepfakes surged 245% in 2023, significantly impacting the crypto sector. Social engineering and bot fraud accounted for 14.21% of deepfake crimes in Q1 2024, with losses at $2.03 billion. Without effective measures in place, the exponential rise in crypto deepfake crimes may surge by 70% by early 2026. Annual losses caused by crypto deepfakes may reach $25.13 billion by the end of 2024. The full report can be found here.
