Bitget, one of the well-known cryptocurrency exchanges, will support national athletes Buse Tosun Cavusoglu, Ilkin Aydın and Samet Gumus in their global challenges. Speaking at a press conference in Istanbul, Bitget Global Chief Operating Officer (COO) Vugar Usi Zade said that they named the campaign “Make a Difference”.
Speaking about the cooperation with these athletes that Turkey is proud of, Usi Zade emphasized both the importance they attach to Turkey and their support for female athletes:
“Today, we see the ‘Make a Difference’ campaign with our Turkish National Athletes as a moment that Turkish youth and Turkish people can be proud of, rather than a financial support. Our investments in Turkey, a country we have been investing in continuously with our valuable teammates for the last two years, will continue to increase. I am a big supporter of Turkish athletes, especially our volleyball players, and we are proud to see in our campaign that they, women, can stand out in every field. I can say the same thing when it comes to boxing. I would like to thank all our teammates and of course our national athletes for today’s cooperation. I think we will achieve success by joining forces.”
Bitget Global Turkey Country Manager Serhat Erman underlined that Bitget is taking firm steps towards becoming Turkey’s local crypto asset platform and that they are working devotedly to grow the crypto ecosystem in Turkey and to ensure that Turkish users have access to the quality products and services they deserve.
Erman said the following about his expectations for the future:
“In the last 6 years, we have reached 25 million users in more than 100 countries and in the last 2 years we have succeeded in becoming the fastest growing cryptocurrency platform in the world. The performance we have shown in Turkey has a great impact on this success. When we look at Turkey, we see that it is among the countries with the highest adoption rate in the global cryptocurrency index. There are currently close to 6 million crypto users in Turkey. We predict that this number will increase to 15 million by 2028.In the last 6 months, we have accelerated our activities in the Turkish market and in this context, we have increased our daily user rate in Turkey by 200% and our daily transaction volume by over 250%. In 2022, we launched the ‘Make It Count’ campaign under the leadership of Lionel Messi and the main purpose of launching this partnership was of course to increase Bitget’s brand awareness as well as crypto awareness worldwide.I can say that we succeeded in this goal.The ‘Make a Difference’ campaign, which is the projection in Turkey, is actually our thank you to Turkish users and our support for Turkish sports and athletes. Samet Gumus, Buse Tosun Cavusoglu and Ilkin Aydın, whose partnership we are honored to announce here today, are successful athletes who make a difference in their fields.
We are extremely proud to announce this partnership here today. It is our greatest wish that these athletes will return home with gold medals at the Olympics in Paris this summer. We wish them success as the Bitget family. We thank them in advance for the national pride they will bring us. We wish them all the best…”
National Boxer Samet Gumus stated that the cooperation with Bitget is extremely important for him and said:
“This year is a special year for me.For the first time in my life, I will be participating in the Olympics, the biggest organization of sports, and now we have about a month and a half left.I am very happy to be among you at this event of Bitget, which has decided to support my fellow athletes on the way to this goal. Being an athlete requires training in a very disciplined way, a special diet suitable for this, and a shaped life on the road to success, but it is very difficult to be alone on this road. Financial and moral support is very important, especially for athletes who are on their way to great success.I would like to thank Bitget for the support they have given me and my two female athlete friends on this path.Bitget, which is increasing its assertiveness in Turkey day by day, wants us to be more assertive.I always go to the ring to get a gold medal and I strive to carry this success to my country with pride. I believe that I will bring the biggest successes to our country. I would like to thank all my teachers, my family and Bitget for supporting me on this path.”
