Dear BGB holders,

We are excited to announce that the Bitget Token (BGB) whitepaper has been updated, covering the following three key areas:

1. The latest developments at Bitget exchange, including its new strategic positioning, exchange data, team updates, ecosystem expansion, and compliance progress.

2. Updated benefits for BGB holders, along with plans for future perks and use cases.

3. The official launch of Bitget Token's (BGB) quarterly buyback and burn program.

For more information, refer to the updated Bitget Token (BGB) whitepaper.

Details of the Bitget Token (BGB) buyback and burn plan:

Initial burn

To strengthen the BGB ecosystem, Bitget will burn 800 million tokens held by the core team, representing 40% of the total supply. This burn will be completed soon, with on-chain records made publicly available. Afterward, BGB's total supply will decrease to 1.2 billion, with all tokens fully in circulation.

Quarterly burns

  • Frequency: Quarterly, typically completed at the start of the following quarter.
  • Rule: Bitget will allocate 20% of its quarterly profits from exchange and wallet operations to buy back and burn BGB. These profits include transaction fees from spot, futures, and margin trading on the Bitget exchange, as well as income from swaps, futures, and NFT trading on Bitget Wallet.
  • Method and transparency: Bitget will destroy the BGB it buys back by sending it to a burn address and will publish the exact amount and on-chain records after completion.
