Regulatory Compliance and Expansion Plans

Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget, commented on the development, stating:

“As the EU continues to lead with regulatory frameworks like MiCA, we see strong potential for sustainable growth and innovation in the region while maintaining compliance. Bulgaria serves as a strategic gateway for our European expansion, offering crypto-friendly ecosystems the chance to accelerate crypto’s adoption.”

Ng also emphasized that Bitget intends to continue expanding globally in 2025, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance in each new market it enters. The company has consistently prioritized following regulatory norms to preserve market integrity and build user trust.

The VASP license offers several benefits to Bitget and its Bulgarian clients, including:

  • Authorization to offer a range of cryptocurrency services, including trading, safe transfers, custody, and cryptocurrency asset exchange.
  • Ability for Bulgarian customers to participate in public token offerings on the platform.
  • Enhanced credibility and trust due to regulatory compliance.

This milestone is the latest in a series of license achievements for Bitget, which has previously secured licenses in countries such as El Salvador, the UK, and Vietnam.
