Bitget Delivers A Knockout Experience: VIP Access to Karate Combat's KC54 Dubai UFC Fight

With a crowd of 4,000-5,000 roaring fight fans, the energy in Dubai's premier venue was electric. Bitget COO Vugar Usi Zade perfectly captured the spirit of the event: "Crypto trading and combat sports demand the same qualities—quick reflexes, strategic thinking, and nerves of steel. We're thrilled to give our community this exclusive opportunity to experience world-class competition up close. Whether you're analyzing charts or analyzing fight techniques, this is where champions are made."
Robert Bryan, CEO of Karate Combat, remarked, "KC54 marked a significant milestone in our journey, and having Bitget as a sponsor amplified our commitment to innovation in combat sports. Their support helped us deliver an unforgettable experience that blended tradition with cutting-edge technology.
Asim Zaidi, President of Karate Combat, also added, "Partnering with Bitget for KC54 was a game-changer. Their involvement not only elevated the event's profile but also underscored the synergy between martial arts and the evolving digital landscape."
The event marked another strategic partnership for Bitget in the combat sports world, following their successful collaborations with professional combat athletes such as Wrestling World Champion, Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu, and Boxing Gold Medalist Samet Gümüş (Boxing). By creating these exclusive live experiences, Bitget continues to build meaningful connections between the crypto community and high-profile sporting events.
Jyotsna Hirdyani, Bitget's South Asia head, who orchestrated the event, shared insights. "This is the future. From blockchain to sports, crypto is changing the game forever. This is what happens when sports & entertainment meet blockchain technology. It's a cultural shift where you will see more & more cross-plays of sports x crypto, the ultimate cross-over."
This partnership underscores Bitget's commitment to delivering unique, high-value experiences to its community. Just as in trading, timing is everything, and May 2nd in Dubai was when crypto met combat in what turned out to be an unforgettable showdown. Bitget's focus remains on creating tangible value for the crypto community beyond digital interfaces.

CoinDesk owner Bullish shares indicated to open nearly 62% above IPO price in debut
(Reuters) -Shares of cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish were indicated to open nearly 62% above their IPO on Wednesday, signaling growing investor confidence in the sector and boosting prospects for future U.S. listings by other digital asset firms. If the stock starts to trade at the last indicated range of $55 to $60 on the NYSE, it could potentially value the billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel-backed company at nearly $8.77 billion. Bullish raised $1.11 billion in the largest U.S. listing by a digital assets company this year, marking another sign of mainstream adoption in a sector that recently topped $4 trillion in market value. Stablecoin giant Circle had raised $1.05 billion in its initial public offering in June, before a blowout debut. As of last close, Circle shares were trading more than five times above their IPO price. Bullish, which acquired cryptocurrency website CoinDesk in 2023, had priced the IPO at $37 per share — above an already upsized range, and was valued at $5.41 billion. A string of regulatory wins under a pro-crypto White House, corporate treasury adoption, and ETF inflows have prompted investors to embrace the once-scorned digital asset class, driving bellwether bitcoin to record highs. Several crypto firms, including exchange Gemini and asset manager Grayscale, are now aiming to go public during an IPO window revived by robust tech earnings, along with expectations of easing tariffs and interest rates. J.P. Morgan and Jefferies were the lead underwriters for Bullish's IPO.
