<p>Amid the uncertainty and speculation, particularly concerning the future of <a href="https://crypto.news/sec-approves-spot-bitcoin-etf-on-accelerated-basis/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/sec-approves-spot-bitcoin-etf-on-accelerated-basis/">Bitcoin ETFs</a>, Chen’s statement appears intended to reassure Bitget’s users and the broader crypto community that the exchange remains solvent. </p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“Everything at Bitget is working well. Funds are safe, and the whole team is diligently preparing for the next bull run,”</p> <cite>Chen stated, addressing the concerns head-on.</cite>

<p>The call for new hires, especially for senior and management roles, appears to also reflect Bitget’s readiness to capitalize on the next market upswing related to the recent Bitcoin ETF approval.</p>
