Bitget Launches “Score Your 40%” Affiliate Campaign With $1 Million Prize Pool

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched “Score Your 40%“, a new global affiliate campaign featuring a $1 million USDT prize pool designed to accelerate affiliate growth and reward community builders ahead of one of the year’s biggest sporting seasons.

The campaign builds on the momentum of Bitget’s earlier affiliate initiatives, including “The Missing 40%”, which drove a significant increase in community participation. In March alone, Bitget recorded more than 2,000 new affiliate registrations and approved over 1,500 affiliates within two weeks, reflecting growing interest in crypto referral and community-led growth models.

Running throughout June, the campaign introduces a range of rewards, activation bonuses, and milestone incentives for both new and existing affiliates. Eligible participants can earn rewards worth up to 600 USDT through registration, verification, and campaign participation, while competing for a share of the broader $1 million USDT prize pool.

The campaign draws inspiration from the competitive spirit surrounding this summer’s global football season, creating an affiliate-focused tournament designed to reward performance, community growth, and engagement. Through “Score Your 40%,” Bitget aims to further expand its affiliate ecosystem while helping creators, traders, educators, and community leaders monetize their audiences more effectively.

“Bitget has grown from around 25 million users to more than 125 million in just two years. That kind of growth doesn’t happen through advertising alone,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The affiliate ecosystem has always been one of the strongest growth engines in crypto because it is built on trust. This campaign is about giving more people the opportunity to turn that influence into something meaningful.”

Since November 2025, Bitget has continued expanding incentives and support for affiliates through initiatives such as Boost Month and The Missing 40%. The latest campaign builds on that foundation with what the company describes as one of its largest affiliate-focused reward programs to date.

Bitget’s affiliate program is designed to lower barriers to participation, requiring as few as 100 social media followers or 500 community members to apply. Approved affiliates can access a 40% permanent rebate structure from day one, alongside a streamlined application process with reviews typically completed within 24 hours.

The campaign forms part of Bitget’s broader strategy to strengthen its global affiliate network and expand participation across its growing Universal Exchange ecosystem, which spans crypto, tokenized assets, stocks, commodities, and AI-powered trading tools.

Bitget Rolls Out Stocks 2.0, Linking Tokenized Equities to Real U.S. Market Liquidity

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of Bitget Stocks 2.0, an upgraded tokenized stock spot product designed to improve liquidity, asset transparency, and capital efficiency for tokenized equity trading.

The product is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA issuance platform, powered by Bitget’s strategic support, trading access, and asset security within its ecosystem.

The upgrade is built around three product improvements: deeper stock market liquidity, 1:1 economic mapping of the underlying stock asset, and broader use of stock tokens within Bitget’s margin, strategy, and yield ecosystem. Stock 2.0 is designed to connect tokenized stock trading with real equity market liquidity from global channels. This gives users a stock spot trading experience with deeper order books, lower trading friction, and faster execution directly inside the Bitget app.

The product also supports 1:1 asset mapping for eligible stock tokens. With direct stablecoin trading using USDT. Cash dividends are also converted into USDT and credited to users’ accounts. Stock dividends are reflected in user balances, while corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are mapped to token positions to keep economic exposure aligned with the underlying stock.

Stock 2.0 also expands the role of tokenized equities inside Bitget’s ecosystem. Eligible stock tokens can be used within unified account and margin systems, and can be connected to supported tools such as spot grid, futures grid, copy trading, and selected yield products. This gives users more ways to manage capital while maintaining exposure to worldwide equity assets.

“Tokenized equities are the bridge crypto is building between global markets,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “By 2030, we could see over 10% of global financial assets to be tokenized, which will be fueled by platforms built by access, depth, and compliance. As of today, we have successfully shipped the requirements being built for that future.”

As compared to existing RWA products on platforms Bitget offers the most competitive fees in the market. The base rate is 0.1%, while the Maker/Taker fees is the same as VIP, a fixed fee of 0.05% with BGB offers and zero friction costs making it the most cost-effective route to trade stocks.

The launch builds on Bitget’s early lead in tokenized equity trading, from tokenized stocks and ETFs to stock futures, and pre-IPO.

Bitget ranks amongst the first major crypto exchanges to support tokenized equities, in January 2026, the platform’s cumulative tokenized stock spot volume had surpassed $1 billion, while it accounted for approximately 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025. Its stock futures also crossed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, making it a pioneer in the Universal Exchange model.

The first batch of Bitget Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets, covering major equities and ETFs such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and QQQ. Availability is subject to user jurisdiction and applicable eligibility requirements.

Hong Kong forges new opportunities with Kazakhstan and Central Asia

by

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 June 2026 – A large delegation, led by John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), is visiting Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (June 1-6) to forge closer ties with Central Asia.

Comprising over 70 business and professional representatives from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, the delegation has already yielded significant results at its first stop in Kazakhstan.

Speaking at a business luncheon in Astana yesterday (June 2), Mr Lee highlighted that 43 memoranda of understanding (MOU) and agreements have been concluded by the visiting delegation with companies and organisations from Kazakhstan, with more agreements to come.

“They span aviation, finance and trade, innovation and technology, the digital economy, green development, and more,” Mr Lee said, adding that a Hong Kong airline plans to launch direct flights to Almaty in the first quarter of 2027.

“I believe that Kazakhstan can serve as a hub for Hong Kong to connect with the Central Asian market. In turn, Hong Kong can be Central Asia’s hub in the east and southeast Asian region,” Mr Lee said.

“By strengthening co-operation between our two hubs, we can construct a hub-to-hub co-operation model.”

On his first day of visit in Astana (June 1), Mr Lee met with top government officials including the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin.

Hong Kong SAR’s Chief Executive John Lee (left) meets with the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to exchange views on deepening bilateral relations.

Mr Lee noted that Kazakhstan has been actively promoting reforms on various fronts to bring about rapid economic growth.

“As one of the world’s three major financial centres, and the world’s largest cross-boundary wealth management centre and offshore Renminbi business hub, Hong Kong can provide diversified and flexible support including capital and asset allocation for Kazakhstan’s economic reforms and infrastructure development,” Mr Lee said.

The Chief Executive also encouraged companies in Kazakhstan to leverage Hong Kong’s advantages under the “one country, two systems” principle.

“Under this unique principle, Hong Kong has its own economic, social, legal, legislative and judicial systems. We are the only common law jurisdiction in China. We have our own currency, with no capital or foreign exchange controls. We are, as well, a separate customs territory,” Mr Lee said.

“The ‘one country, two systems’ principle ensures Hong Kong’s unparalleled access to the markets of the Chinese Mainland. Capitalising on our global connectivity and world-class professional services, Hong Kong is your ideal, two-way springboard for business expansion.”

Mr Lee also visited the Astana International Financial Centre and the Astana Hub, a local technology and innovation park, to respectively learn about Kazakhstan’s experience in promoting the development of the non-bank financial sector and the latest developments of the country in the field of AI.

Before leaving Kazakhstan today (June 3), Mr Lee visited Nazarbayev University, underscoring the historic significance of the trip.

“It was here, at Astana’s Nazarbayev University in 2013, that President Xi Jinping first raised the visionary initiative of jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt – today’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI),” Mr Lee said.

Last year, at the 10th Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong, the university signed a MOU with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, demonstrating a shared commitment to advancing higher education co-operation under the BRI. It further reached MOUs with Hong Kong’s Education University and Polytechnic University today.

“These agreements will deepen academic and research collaboration.

“Hong Kong is the only city in the world with five of the top 100 universities. This talent environment is reinforced by our global standing: last year, Hong Kong ranked first in Asia, and fourth globally, in the World Talent Ranking,” he added.

Mr Lee will continue to lead the delegation to Uzbekistan for the second leg of the mission to Central Asia.

Jordan Promotes Responsible AI Adoption to Improve Workplace Safety and Future-Ready Skills

by


Jordan: Jordan has emphasized the importance of harnessing artificial intelligence responsibly to improve workplace safety, strengthen workforce capabilities and support sustainable economic development, as governments and labor-market stakeholders grapple with the growing impact of advanced technologies on employment. Speaking during the 114th session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Labour Abdul Halim Dujan said artificial intelligence has become an integral part of modern economic activity and is increasingly reshaping labor markets around the world.

According to Jordan News Agency, Dujan, who heads Jordan’s delegation to the conference, said the central challenge is no longer whether artificial intelligence should be used, but how it can be employed in a manner that promotes decent work, protects workers’ rights and ensures that the benefits of technological progress are shared broadly across society. He noted that rapid changes in job requirements an
d workplace structures are increasing the need to invest in youth skills and workforce preparedness, particularly as employers seek new competencies aligned with digital transformation.

At the same time, Dujan stressed that many occupations built around human interaction, behavioral skills and accumulated experience will continue to retain their value despite accelerating advances in automation. He said the future labor market will be shaped by collaboration between humans and technology rather than direct replacement of workers by machines.

According to Dujan, artificial intelligence offers significant opportunities to enhance occupational safety and health, especially in high-risk industries such as mining, construction and heavy manufacturing. The deployment of smart systems, automation technologies and robotics in hazardous work environments can reduce workers’ exposure to danger, lower workplace injuries and improve overall safety performance, he said.

Dujan also highlighted the technology’s growing r
ole in workforce development, noting that AI-powered training systems can deliver personalized learning pathways that respond to both individual needs and changing labor-market demands. In addition, advanced data analytics and forecasting tools can help identify future skills requirements and improve the ability of workers and employers to adapt to technological change.

He pointed to Jordan’s ongoing efforts under the Economic Modernization Vision to strengthen the digital economy, expand vocational and technical education, support entrepreneurship and foster innovation. These initiatives, he said, are designed to improve the readiness of Jordanian youth for future occupations while enhancing the competitiveness of the national economy in regional and international markets.

During his remarks, Dujan also renewed Jordan’s call for the International Labour Organization to continue supporting Palestinian workers through expanded access to decent employment opportunities and social protection programs. He urged
the organization to intensify technical cooperation and capacity-building initiatives aimed at protecting workers’ rights and improving living conditions amid the difficult humanitarian and economic circumstances facing Palestinians.

The Jordanian delegation participating in the conference includes representatives from the Senate, employers’ organizations, labor unions and the Ministry of Labour, reflecting the country’s tripartite approach to labor-market dialogue and policy development.
