VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, and Upland, the leading immersive Layer1 gaming platform, are excited to announce a strategic partnership centered around the launch of the utility token SPARKLET on Ethereum. This collaboration will include the establishment of Bitget’s virtual headquarters in the metaverse built by Upland, with extensive token airdrops and rewards for both Upland and Bitget communities.

The partnership signifies Bitget’s entrance into the metaverse, offering an immersive experience to its users. Bitget will establish the “Traders’ Hub” on Treasure Island, featuring the Bitget Headquarters and a captivating café with educational content. As part of this initiative, Bitget has purchased Treasure Island, the last unminted neighborhood in Upland’s San Francisco, comprising 888 properties. These virtual properties will be distributed as rewards in this exclusive location. This marks the final opportunity to receive unminted properties in the last unminted neighborhood of San Francisco, which was fully sold out two years ago.

To celebrate the partnership, a series of giveaway campaigns will be hosted, including:

Bitget Launchpool to Farm SPARKLET: Details on this will be announced soon.
Increased Rewards for SPARKLET Holders: Participants in the Launchpool will qualify for airdrops inside Upland.
Utility of SPARKLET in Upland: Users can stake SPARKLET for UPX rewards, build structures, or create no-code NFTs to increase their rewards.
Leaderboard for Additional Rewards: Bitget launchpool participants and other holders who bridge their SPARKLET to Upland will have a chance to win additional rewards, including properties on Treasure Island and an exclusive Bitget car replica NFT which can be used for racing and traveling within the Upland platform.

Additionally, eligible Upland users who owned SPARKLET prior to the Token Generation Event (TGE) will be rewarded with a special 3.5 million SPARKLET pool of tokens over the next six months. Bitget will further reward these users with a drop from a pool of $50,000 worth of Bitget Token (BGB).

“At Bitget, our support for crypto gems goes beyond a simple listing. We are dedicated to helping promising projects gain more visibility, users, and partners through our Launchpool, Launchpad, and various educational and reward initiatives. Our collaboration with Upland to create a Bitget-themed metaverse is a mutually beneficial and exciting endeavor. We aim to become the top choice for more emerging projects in the future, aiding them in creating a greater real-life impact.” says Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

Upland’s co-founder and co-CEO, Dirk Lueth, captures the excitement: “At Upland, we love innovating with partners. Our initial discussions with Bitget made it evident that this would be a fantastic collaboration. Building out Treasure Island together and transforming it into a ‘Trader’s Hub’ using SPARKLET is a truly groundbreaking example of partnership-driven product development. This project showcases the power of collaboration to strengthen community bonds and propel Upland forward.”

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that struck Tibet earlier this week, leaving a trail of destruction and heartache.

The tragedy has claimed at least 126 lives, injured 188 people, and displaced tens of thousands as over 3,000 buildings collapsed in the remote region near the northern base of Mount Everest. In response, Bybit is committing RMB 5 million in collaboration with the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) to support critical relief and recovery efforts in the affected communities.

The 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which struck on January 7, has caused widespread devastation, with extreme winter conditions complicating rescue operations. More than 14,000 rescue workers have been mobilized to search for survivors amid sub-zero temperatures and strong winds, highlighting the urgent need for immediate aid.

“As a responsible global leader in the blockchain industry, Bybit is committed to standing with communities in their time of need,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. “Our thoughts are with the survivors, the rescue teams, and the families affected by this tragic event. We hope our contribution will help provide much-needed relief and support the road to recovery.”

The donation will be directed towards essential services, including emergency shelter, medical supplies, and food aid, as well as long-term rehabilitation efforts. Bybit is proud to partner with RCSC to ensure swift and impactful assistance to those in need.

At Bybit, we firmly believe in the power of compassion and collaboration. This contribution reflects our commitment to fostering resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
