Bitget was founded on the steadfast belief in being among the final 10% who stay committed, even in the face of adversity. With a background in traditional finance, Bitget’s founding team discovered blockchain technology in 2015, but it was viewed as "tulip mania" by the industry back then. In 2018, we became intrigued by cryptocurrency after studying the Bitcoin whitepaper and Ethereum ecosystem. We believed that cryptocurrency would play an important role in the future and even benefit the unbanked groups. However, the market crash chased away most speculators and less than 10% of the people chose to stick to their convictions and rebuild. Bitget was then officially founded in the same year.
