Bitget Token (BGB) Hits New All-Time High of $6 Amid Rally With 40% in Gains

Bitget Token (BGB), the native cryptocurrency of crypto exchange Bitget, has hit a new all-time high, surging above $6, breaking a three-year-long drought

Crypto exchange Bitget's native cryptocurrency, Bitget Token (BGB), has hit a new all-time high, surging past $6 and breaking a three-year drought for the token that failed to garner much attention in the previous years.

According to data from CoinGecko, BGB soared 23.3% in the last 24 hours, continuing a week-long rally that saw the token gain nearly 40%.

The token has also been climbing significantly over the past 30 days, gaining 264% in December as more crypto users showed interest in Bitget's native crypto.

BGB's chart shows that since 2021, the token didn't have any noteworthy spikes. This stagnant movement of Bitget's token lasted for two years until it began making small gains in the second quarter of 2024.

Bitget Token didn't gain attention from the crypto space until the beginning of December, when it began a steady surge from around $1.60 and by Christmas Eve, the crypto asset was already trading at around $4.50.

Why is Bitget Token Up?

The Bitget exchange has always been present in the crypto space, but it has yet to reach the levels of popularity that Binance, Bybit, Kraken, OKX, and a few other leading exchanges enjoy.

However, it has recently been making rounds around crypto communities due to several new project launches and big announcements.

Among its top news for December was the milestone of its Bitget Builders program. The program, which fosters growth among individuals with a passion for crypto adoption, saw over 5,000 members from 55 participating countries.

Throughout the month, the exchange also launched several holiday-themed events, such as the On-chain Earn Carnival for Ethereum (ETH), SUI, and Cardano (ADA) users.

Ahead of Christmas Day, Bitget announced a partnership with Web3 payment infrastructure layer Fiat24 to boost global adoption of the Bitget Token. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Bitget Global CEO Gracy Chen revealed Wednesday that by 2025, BGB holders will have "more benefits," and a new version of the BGB whitepaper will also be launched.

$BGB Holders Anticipate Massive Highs in 2025

Holders of the BGB token are now expecting that the digital coin will only move up as the crypto space enters a new year.

Some are projecting a $100 billion market cap for the coin in 2025 – the said figure is a far shot from the token's current market cap of $8.7 billion.

Others expressed more decent visions, such as BGB hitting $10 sometime soon.

Notably, Bitget Token is one of the few digital currencies that surged significantly in recent days even as the broader crypto space suffered stagnation just days after crypto leader Bitcoin hit a new all-time high.
