We can't wait to get down to business and start working with him to influence the future together.”

Over the past year, Bitget has partnered with Juventus and Galatasaray football clubs, Team Spirit esports team, and premium esports tournament organizer PGL.

“I wanted to thank Bitget for bringing me into the world of cryptocurrencies. I believe that we will present important initiatives, including introducing sports fans to Web 3,” said Leo Messi.
