Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, recently showcased its commitment to blockchain education through a significant speaking engagement by Chief Operating Officer Vugar Usi Zade.

The event brought together an array of speakers, including notable figures from different fields, all reflecting the theme of systems, vision, and culture.
During his talk, Zade emphasized the fundamental importance of education and financial literacy as a catalyst for independence and innovation.
