VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web 3 company, today announces the appointment of Gracy Chen as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective in May 2024, succeeding Sandra Lou, who will be leaving the platform to pursue her own business goals. With over 10 years of experience in business management, marketing, and investment, Gracy proves herself to be a leading female entrepreneur in the crypto world.

Since 2014, as a notable TV host, Gracy found herself increasingly drawn into the dynamic world of blockchain technology, hence, cryptocurrencies through her interactions with knowledgeable guests like Tim Draper. Each interview not only enriched her show but also deepened her fascination with this emerging field. Her growing passion for the subject soon evolved to invest in several crypto startups, including Bitkeep (currently Bitget Wallet), the largest Web 3 multi-chain wallet in Asia.

In June 2022, Gracy joined Bitget as its first Managing Director (MD), leading Bitget’s growth strategies as the platform accelerates its global expansion plan. Over the past two years, her exceptional ability to manage and inspire multinational decentralized teams has been instrumental in navigating the fast-paced and highly competitive cryptocurrency landscape. One of her most remarkable achievements was co-leading the strategy that quadrupled Bitget’s user base through partnerships with legendary footballer Leo Messi as well as the establishment of a robust global affiliate network. This solidified Bitget’s position as a top-five crypto exchange and Web 3 platform.

“I’m extremely honored to step into the role of CEO at Bitget,” said Gracy Chen. “Over the past six years, with the robust foundation we’ve built and an incredible team by my side, Bitget has transformed into a leading crypto platform. By consistently innovating in product offerings and creating value for our 25 million users, Bitget has risen to become a top 5 futures trading platform and a top 10 spot trading platform. I’m thrilled to continue to be part of shaping this industry that is on the edge of innovation, empowering the future of digital finance. It’s a privilege to lead such a dynamic group and I can’t wait to steer our global expansion to new heights!”

Gracy is also advocating for a more diverse and inclusive crypto industry by leading two Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives at Bitget. She spearheaded the launch of the #Blockchain4Youth campaign in May 2023, aiming to drive Web 3 adoption by inspiring the younger generation to embrace crypto and blockchain. The activity partnered with over 50 educational institutions and benefits over 6,000 young talents in just one year. As a key initiator of Bitget’s #Blockchain4Her initiative, her vision for a sustainable future involves integrating inclusivity and gender diversity into the blockchain industry, ensuring females have equal opportunities and representation in this transformative sector.

Beyond her responsibilities at Bitget, Gracy is proactively seeking opportunities to contribute to the cryptocurrency field. As a columnist for major publications such as Forbes and Cointelegraph, she has published over 50 articles to introduce blockchain to the public. She is also known as a judge of the first reality crypto TV show Killer Whales, a program co-created by Hollywood producers. The show aims to discover promising Web 3 projects and empower them to make a real-life impact. Her contributions earned her recognition as a Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum in 2015, and she was elected to the Forbes Business Council in 2023.

Gracy holds a Bachelor’s Degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and an MBA degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Cango Inc. Reports Q1 2025 Bitcoin Mining Revenue Meets Apollo Insights’ Expectations, Firm Highlights Solid Operational Metrics and Growth Potential

Published

cango-inc.-reports-q1-2025-bitcoin-mining-revenue-meets-apollo-insights’-expectations,-firm-highlights-solid-operational-metrics-and-growth-potential

SHANGHAI, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) (“Cango” or the “Company”), a rapidly expanding leader in Bitcoin mining, today announced the release of Apollo Insights’ first quarter review of the Company’s performance, which highlighted that Cango’s Q1 2025 Bitcoin mining revenue was in line with their expectations and noted the Company’s solid operational metrics and potential for future growth.

The Apollo Insights review, titled “Q1 BTC Mining Revenue In-Line, Deployed Hash Rate Poised For Growth,” reported Cango’s Q1 2025 Bitcoin mining revenue at RMB 1,046 million, in line with the firm’s estimates. While the report noted a Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA loss, attributed primarily to Bitcoin price volatility and expenses from the legacy auto business, Apollo Insights maintained a positive outlook for future profitability driven by operating leverage in the Bitcoin mining segment. The firm increased its full-year 2025 revenue estimate to RMB 5,173 million, reflecting higher Bitcoin price assumptions partially offset by increased network difficulty.

The review highlighted Cango’s solid operational performance in Q1 2025, with deployed hash rate reaching 32 EH/s by quarter-end. In March 2025, Cango achieved industry-leading productivity of 16.6 Bitcoin mined per EH/s. The Company mined a total of 1,541 Bitcoins in the quarter and held 2,475 Bitcoins as of March 31, 2025, with no Bitcoins sold.

Apollo Insights estimates significant hash rate growth ahead, projecting Cango to exit fiscal 2025E and fiscal 2026E with deployed hash rates of 42 EH/s (+10 EH/s year-over-year) and 54 EH/s (+12 EH/s year-over-year), respectively. This growth trajectory includes the planned acquisition of 18 EH/s expected to be completed by the end of July 2025.

Looking ahead, as a future-ready company with strong operational flexibility, the report outlines that Cango will strive to secure more favorable mining contracts, explore self-operation of its fleet of mining equipment, consider investing in low-cost, clean energy projects in the Middle East and Australia, offer various digital financial services, and develop the “asset light” used car platform.
