The Under 30 Hackathon resonates with Bitget’s overarching Blockchain4Youth initiative. As revealed in a study published by Bitget in April 2023, Gen Z and millennials exhibit greater interest in digital technologies compared to older generations. The platform sees Gen Z, having grown up with crypto becoming more mainstream, as being key drivers of further cryptocurrency adoption. Launched in May 2023, Blockchain4Youth’s mission is to foster blockchain and crypto adoption among young individuals, igniting the spark for the next generation of builders. Over the next few years, the initiative is set to allocate $10 million towards cultivating a crypto-positive perception.
Bitget, continuing its commitment to nurturing young talent, recently introduced its Builders Program, aimed at training over 100 young talents in crypto, blockchain, and Web3. It also successfully hosted its inaugural Crypto Experience Day on International Youth Day (August 12). This event provided attendees from nine countries with a comprehensive understanding of cryptocurrencies and hands-on blockchain insights, showcasing Bitget’s dedication to empowering the next wave of blockchain enthusiasts.
“Bitget acknowledges the immense potential of young crypto users, who are growing up amidst decentralized technologies. Their pivotal role in driving digital asset adoption cannot be underestimated,” remarked Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget. “With Blockchain4Youth, we are harnessing their curiosity, creativity, and innovation to develop groundbreaking solutions that will foster market growth and advancement.”
Bitget’s proactive approach to nurturing young talent is manifested through its range of initiatives, like the Builders Program and the recent Crypto Experience Day. The U30 Hackathon serves as a testament to Bitget’s commitment to fostering innovation, enabling young minds to make a significant impact on the blockchain and AI landscapes.

DUBAI, UAE, April 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, one of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, met with H.E. Nguyen Van Thang, Minister of Finance of Vietnam, to express Bybit’s strong support for the country’s regulatory sandbox initiative and its vision to build a safe, transparent, and innovation-friendly digital asset ecosystem.
Hosted at the Ministry of Finance headquarters, the meeting centered on Vietnam’s efforts to establish a comprehensive legal framework for crypto assets. Minister Nguyen Van Thang outlined the Government’s plan to launch a pilot sandbox mechanism that will allow regulators to test the issuance and trading of crypto assets in a controlled environment. This initiative is designed to mitigate risks, strengthen investor protection, and ensure regulatory readiness before introducing official legislation.
A key part of the discussion focused on safeguarding the market against illicit activities. The Minister emphasized the importance of robust compliance frameworks, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, to prevent the misuse of digital assets and support the country’s financial security.
In response, Ben Zhou welcomed Vietnam’s measured and responsible approach to digital asset regulation and reiterated Bybit’s long-standing commitment to compliance:
“Vietnam’s forward-thinking regulatory sandbox is a critical step toward unlocking the full potential of blockchain technology. At Bybit, we are fully aligned with the Government’s focus on investor protection and financial integrity,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are proud to share our expertise in KYC, AML, and global compliance standards, and we look forward to supporting Vietnam in building a resilient, secure, and dynamic crypto economy.”
Bybit expressed its readiness to collaborate with Vietnamese authorities on several fronts, including system architecture design, transaction oversight, and the implementation of international best practices in AML/KYC. The exchange also proposed support in capacity building, such as training financial regulators and sharing experiences from other jurisdictions.
Minister Nguyen Van Thang welcomed Bybit’s proactive approach and assigned the State Securities Commission to coordinate with Bybit on concrete proposals. He also commended Bybit’s reputation for strong financial capabilities, technological resilience, and its adherence to legal and regulatory requirements in the markets where it operates.
This meeting underscores Bybit’s growing role as a trusted international partner for regulatory dialogue and innovation. It also highlights Vietnam’s readiness to embrace blockchain technology while ensuring financial safety and public confidence in the digital asset space.
