Bitget Posts 45.5% Growth Rate Among Top Crypto Exchanges in 2025
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Feb 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange recorded a 45.5% year-over-year increase in trading volume growth and secured the #6 spot in global market share among centralized crypto exchanges at the close of 2025, according to the latest Market Share of Centralized Crypto Exchanges by Trading Volume report by CoinGecko.
The CoinGecko report, a widely referenced industry benchmark, ranks exchanges based on annual trading volume and share relative to the global centralized exchange landscape. Bitget’s 6.4% market share at the end of 2025 reflects significant momentum, driven by its innovative product suite. Bitget’s strong showing in this independent research highlights the exchange’s expanding footprint and competitive differentiation in the digital asset trading landscape.
“We’re proud to see Bitget’s continued growth reflected in CoinGecko’s report,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The trust community has placed in us is attributed to the security we’ve built over the years, holding one of the largest market shares in crypto means we build to scale and with UEX we see this come into real life.”
Over the past year, Bitget accelerated its transition toward a Universal Exchange model, expanding beyond crypto-native markets into multi-asset trading. This included the beta rollout of Bitget TradFi, enabling users to trade commodities, indices, FX, and metals such as gold alongside crypto derivatives, as well as the expansion of tokenized stock futures, which saw strong uptake during global earnings cycles. These additions complemented Bitget’s core strengths in spot and derivatives liquidity, allowing traders to respond to macro events without leaving a crypto-native environment.
CoinGecko’s report positions Bitget’s performance within a broader trend of users gravitating toward platforms that combine depth, flexibility and resilience. As trading activity increasingly spans crypto, macro assets, and on-chain products, exchanges capable of supporting this convergence are capturing a growing share of market attention. As Bitget enters 2026, the company continues to build on its growth trajectory with an expanded product suite, enhanced trading infrastructure, and ongoing investments in community trust and platform reliability.

EXPEREO, CATO NETWORKS PARTNER TO REDEFINE ENTERPRISE NETWORKING LANDSCAPE
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, and Cato Networks, a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) specialist, have announced a strategic collaboration at TechEx London to deliver a single-source, end-to-end networking and security solution for multinational enterprises.
The partnership combines Expereo’s global underlay connectivity with Cato Networks’ cloud-native SASE platform, creating an integrated proposition designed to help medium to large enterprises modernise their network and security architectures through one commercial and operational relationship.
The joint solution aims to remove the complexity associated with multi-vendor environments by offering enterprises a unified, cloud-native network and security stack that enables faster deployment, simplified operations and consistent performance across global locations.
“This collaboration is about eliminating complexity,” said Expereo Chief Marketing Officer, Noel Hamill in a statement, adding that the combined offering enables organisations to scale faster and operate more securely with a single platform and global partner.
Meanwhile, Cato Networks Area Vice President of Global Service Providers, Jason Pender said the partnership delivers a disruptive alternative to legacy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and fragmented multi-vendor models, positioning the joint offering as a simpler and more global approach to secure enterprise networking.
Under the collaboration, customers will gain access to Cato’s global private backbone and more than 85 points of presence, alongside Expereo’s connectivity reach through partners in over 190 countries, enabling secure and consistent access worldwide.
The integrated roadmap also includes delivery via Expereo’s expereoOne digital platform, providing enterprises with real-time visibility, performance monitoring and continuous validation across underlay, overlay, cloud and security environments.
The combined solution will support lower latency and improved application performance through direct on-ramps into Cato’s backbone, while positioning enterprises to better support cloud adoption and emerging artificial intelligence-driven workloads.

PENANG, Malaysia, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- Vave Singapore has launched in Penang with the first Pickleball “Playcation” sports event, introducing a new tournament format that combines competitive play with travel, family participation and community engagement.
The Playcation event, organised by Singapore-based Sports League, will take place on 30 and 31 January 2026 at D’Plazza Mall, Jalan Mahsuri, Bayan Baru. The tournament features 13 regional teams, and marks the debut of Vave in Penang.
The Best Family Sports Vacation
The Pickleball Playcation is more than a tournament—it is a fully curated family sports vacation, combining competition, leisure and cultural experiences for amateur athletes. Event experiences include local sightseeing tours around Penang, hotel accommodation and local transport, entry to all playing events, exclusive T-shirt and goodie bags for participants.
By blending competitive play with family-friendly travel and social engagement, the Pickleball Playcation reflects a growing trend in sports tourism across Asia. Organisers believe such events can strengthen Penang’s position as a host city for lifestyle-oriented sports events, while showcasing Malaysia’s readiness to support international pickleball competitions.
The event also coincides with Visit Malaysia 2026, a national tourism campaign to attract international visitors with diverse cultural experiences, focusing on family-friendly travel, sustainability, and showcasing Malaysia's unique heritage.
“This Playcation approach is designed to appeal to families, amateur athletes, and sports enthusiasts seeking an engaging and memorable travel experience in Penang while enjoying the excitement of competitive pickleball,” said Benny Gan from Vave.
Launch of Vave.Life Sports Platform
Additionally, the event will also mark the introduction of Vave, a mobile app and tournament management platform developed to support regional competitions, family-oriented sports travel and community events across Asia. The system allows participants to register for events, track match results, view rankings and maintain match history through a single integrated platform—professionalising amateur sports experiences while keeping them accessible and community-friendly.
Alongside the Pickleball Playcation, Vave will also support a table tennis tournament at the Penang Table Tennis Center from 31 January to 1 February 2026, demonstrating the platform’s versatility across different sports events.
Varad Kumaravelu, Founder of Vave added, “The Vave app is designed to serve regional tournaments, multiple sports and family-friendly competitions by managing regional matches across different sports, tracking results and providing a seamless experience for players and families alike.

DELIBERATE DESIGN TO DRIVE ORGANISATIONAL SUCCESS IN 2026, REPORT FINDS
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- Organisations can no longer rely on speed and scale alone to sustain performance in 2026, according to a new report by Top Employers Institute, a global certification, benchmarking, and advisory firm.
The study, World of Work Trends 2026: The Intentional Organisation, highlights that high-performing organisations will prioritise deliberate design in work, leadership, and management systems to drive sustainable success.
“2026 is where speed gives way to intentional design. Our data shows that performance under pressure now depends on how deliberately organisations structure work, decision-making and leadership focus,” said Top Employers Institute chief executive officer, Adrian Seligman.
Drawing on a dataset of 2,358 global organisations, the report identifies five critical trends human resources (HR) leaders must address to sustain performance under pressure, according to the firm in a statement.
Moving beyond statements, HR leaders must embed purpose into decision-making and implement measurement scorecards to provide tangible evidence of its impact on behaviours and outcomes.
As nearly half of AI projects are scrapped and productivity gains are reported by only 37 per cent of teams, intentional deployment is paramount. HR leaders must establish clear governance frameworks regarding use, accountability, and fairness.
While most organisations have remote work policies, future performance will be distinguished by how deliberately flexibility is structured. Designing flexibility with boundaries is necessary to protect fairness, performance, and employee wellbeing.
Organisations must accept that productivity cannot come from simply working people harder, especially amid shrinking HR budgets and rising burnout. The path forward involves directing energy to high-impact work, protecting focus, and building renewable workforce capability through redeployment and reskilling.
Competitive advantage depends on redesigning stability as a platform for continuous learning and internal mobility, not merely retention. Organisations that prioritise job security currently report nine per cent lower voluntary turnover than average.
The report’s findings are based on anonymised survey responses and regression analyses linking HR best practices with key success metrics, including employee engagement, profitability, and market share.
