Bitget Partners with MotoGP for a High-Speed Collision of Tech and Speed

Crypto exchange and motorsport collide as Bitget officially becomes the regional partner for selected Grand Prix events in 2025


SCARPERIA E SAN PIERO, Italy, June 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, is teaming up with MotoGP, the highest class of motorcycle road racing events, in a high-octane partnership that merges the breakneck speed of racing with the high-stakes precision of crypto trading. As the newly minted Regional Partner for select Grand Prix events across Europe and Southeast Asia, Bitget is bringing crypto onto the track, and into the fast lane.

Kicking off at the iconic Mugello Circuit during the Italian Grand Prix, the collaboration marks a new era where precision engineering meets algorithmic agility, and where every second, like every trade, has the power to make it count.

Bitget's partnership will speed across multiple marquee MotoGP events in 2025, including Italy, Germany, Spain, and Indonesia, bringing together fans of motorsport and crypto under one roaring banner of performance, resilience, and speed.

"Racing is a sport of milliseconds; crypto is a market of micro-decisions. This partnership is our way of showing the world that success — on the track or on the charts — comes down to smart moves and fearless execution," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "We're excited to join MotoGP in putting power, precision, and potential into the hands of every user and every fan." 

At the heart of the campaign is three-time MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo, whose relentless pursuit of perfection makes him a fitting icon for Bitget's iconic "Make It Count" slogan.

"I've always believed that you win races not just on instinct — but by making every lap, every line, every second count. It's the same mindset Bitget brings to trading, and I'm proud to be part of this story," said Jorge Lorenzo. "The worlds of MotoGP and crypto aren't as different as they seem — they both reward those who stay sharp and think fast."

The campaign features trackside activations, exclusive VIP experiences, and a series of cross-platform digital initiatives. At Mugello, KOLs and media will get behind-the-scenes access to the paddock and rider interactions, blending all the high-octane energy of race weekend, wrapped in a sleek, Bitget-branded experience.

“MotoGP is built on precision, innovation, and high-speed decisions — values that align naturally with Bitget," agreed MotoGP CCO Dan Rossomondo.

This collaboration follows Bitget's headline partnerships with Lionel Messi, Juventus, and LALIGA, reinforcing its track record in bridging the gap between crypto and culture. With over 120 million users globally and a daily trading volume topping $20 billion, Bitget continues to shift the narrative from volatility to victory.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- MoneyHero Limited (MoneyHero) has reported a significant reduction in losses for the first quarter (Q1) ended March 31, 2025, marking progress in its strategic pivot toward higher-margin verticals such as insurance and wealth products.

The company posted Q1 revenue of US$14.3 million, down 35 per cent year-on-year (YoY), reflecting its shift away from low-margin credit card offerings. Despite the revenue decline, net loss narrowed sharply to US$2.4 million from US$13.1 million a year earlier. (US$1=RM4.23)

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) loss improved by 49 per cent YoY to US$3.3 million for Q1, supported by cost efficiencies including a 55 per cent reduction in cost of revenue, now comprising 44 per cent of total revenue.

In a statement, the company said it expanded its MoneyHero Group Members by 38 per cent YoY to 8.1 million users.

This user growth reflects a stronger market position and operational efficiency driven by restructuring and artificial intelligence integration across operations.

Meanwhile, the company’s Monthly Unique Users for the quarter stood at 5.7 million, and it had sourced 399,000 applications and had 155,000 approved applications.

MoneyHero ended the quarter with US$36.6 million in cash and remains debt-free, positioning it well for future expansion.

The company is optimistic about achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA in the second half (H2) of 2025, underpinned by new partnerships with Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) and the upcoming launch of Credit Hero Club with TransUnion.

MoneyHero is a personal finance aggregation and comparison platform, as well as a digital insurance brokerage provider in Greater Southeast Asia, operating in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines.
