Bitget Joins UNICEF Game Changers Coalition to Provide Blockchain Education to 300K People in 2025
Bitget , the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has entered a three-year partnership with UNICEF Luxembourg to advance digital skills and blockchain literacy among young people. The partnership enrolls Bitget into the Game Changers Coalition (GCC) led by UNICEF Office of Innovation (OOI). Support from Bitget will help reach 300,000 people – including adolescent girls, parents, mentors and teachers with blockchain skills- across eight regions; Armenia, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, and South Africa.
Through the partnership, Bitget Academy , the educational arm of Bitget, will help develop UNICEF's first interactive, online and in-person blockchain training module based on video games creation skills development for teachers and young people. This is a welcome inclusion to a curriculum already reaching hundreds of thousands of people. Support from Bitget will also help expand the Coalition's reach to a ninth country.
' This partnership reflects our shared belief that digital skills are a powerful driver of opportunity and inclusion,' said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg. 'By collaborating with Bitget, we want to empower adolescent young people with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own futures. Innovation should be a force for inclusion, opening doors, broadening horizons, and ensuring that technology works for everyone, everywhere.'
'Emerging technologies should not be reserved for the privileged few—they must be introduced early and equitably. Blockchain, with its real-world use case and potential for social good, is one of the most powerful tools we can give to our younger generation to build products that change the way we look at modern society. With Blockchain4Her, what began as a mission to empower hundreds of women has scaled into a global movement to educate thousands of girls. This is the kind of scale and impact blockchain was built for,' said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.
In a move to extend the ecosystem's reach, Bitget will also aim to introduce UNICEF to leading blockchain protocols and developers from across the Web3 landscape to participate in the educational initiative. These contributors could serve as mentors and partners, offering diverse perspectives and possibilities for blockchain technologies.
Every year, adolescent girls and young women in low and middle-income countries miss out on USD 15 billion in economic opportunities due to a gap in internet access and digital skills relative to their male peers. With 90 per cent of jobs today requiring digital competencies, the Game Changers Coalition responds to the urgency of closing the gender digital skills gap. Together, Bitget and UNICEF are working to build a scalable, inclusive model that equips young women with the tools to navigate and shape the digital economy of tomorrow.
As part of the Game Changers Coalition, Bitget joins the Global Video Game Coalition, Micron Foundation and ecosystem builders – Women in Games in a shared ambition to reach 1.1 million girls by 2027, with learning and skills-building opportunities.
With the help of Bitget Academy, and support from the $10M initiative Blockchain4Her , Bitget plans to enhance digital literacy and financial independence among women taught to them at their young age. Bitget's Blockchain4Her initiative has previously supported women through mentorship programs, funding opportunities, and educational resources. Together, Bitget and UNICEF Luxembourg aim to empower a new generation of girls with the knowledge and skills they need to participate actively in the evolving crypto economy.

Nubank introduces recurring bill payments on Pix
Nubank announces the launch of Automated Pix, a new option to pay recurring bills with convenience and security, available to customers starting June 16. 0 The new feature will be accompanied by the 'Search Upcoming Bills' feature, which will give customers complete freedom to choose how and when to pay - whether fully automatically or in a facilitated manner, with alerts and simple one-click approvals directly in the app. The 'Search Upcoming Bills' feature is ideal for customers who prefer to review their bills before each payment, helping them maintain financial control throughout the month with autonomy. The feature will be available gradually next week. 'We believe that empowering our customers is essential. With 'Search Upcoming Bills', we combine the convenience of Automated Pix with the freedom to decide how to pay bills. The tool notifies customers about bills that follow the recurring billing model. This allows them to decide whether to authorize the payment with a click or decline it', explains Maristela Calazans, Nubank's general manager of the Nu Account. With Automated Pix, customers can easily set up payments for recurring bills such as water, electricity, internet, condo fees, gym memberships, school fees, and streaming services using Pix. The security of Automated Pix follows the high standards already adopted by Nubank for other Pix features, including confirmation via PIN for each manually authorized payment, real-time fraud and suspicious key alerts, Street Mode (Modo Rua), which limits transactions outside secure networks, daily Pix limits controls and a 'trusted contacts list' that can be set up. How to use Automated Pix with Search Upcoming Bills Starting the Payment: The billing company will provide a QR Code or the option to copy and paste the Pix key for payment. By scanning the code or pasting the key into the Nubank app, the customer will automatically identify if the payment is enabled for Automated Pix. Setting up Automated Pix: If the payment allows Automated Pix, the customer will see a screen with the account details. There will be two options: Enable Automated Payment: Confirm and register the payment to be made automatically monthly. Pay upon approval ('Search Upcoming Bills' feature): Choose to receive monthly alerts to approve payment on the due date with just one click. Automated Payment: By opting for automated payment, Nubank will charge the amount on each month's due date without needing any new action. Payment upon approval: If the customer prefers to receive alerts, Nu will send notifications for the customer to approve the payment with a click and confirm their security PIN. Full Management: Customers can manage all Automated Pix payments at any time in the Payment Assistant area of the app. There, it is possible to pause, cancel, or modify authorizations as needed.

Crypto assets: The regulator's dilemma
Homepage > News > Business > Crypto assets: The regulator's dilemma Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... How do you keep a new industry straight and narrow while also letting it explore, invent, and, well, try out crazy ideas and see what works? That was the subject of a panel on crypto and blockchain regulation organized in London by Block Dojo, a tech incubator, and CMS, a law firm. Chairing the event, Block Dojo's Alex Ball asked his guests to envisage a 'crypto roadmap'—a 'yellow brick road' for Britain to the Land of Oz. The United Kingdom is the fastest-growing crypto market in the world, Ball said. Today, over seven million adults own crypto. So it's 'leading the world in adoption,' but it's way behind in regulation. Left to right: Alex Ball, Charles Kerrigan, Anya Markitanova, Jannah Patchay Jannah Patchay, Executive in Residence at Global Digital Finance, picked up the story, tracing the tortuous history of the involvement of Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) with crypto. There was a consultation in 2019, but then 'six years went by and nothing happened.' Now, under Britain's new Labour government, the FCA has been told it must get its act together. It has published a plan—a two-year timeline for implementing regulation. So there's the 'nightmare scenario,' Patchay said, of having to get there in a 'very compressed amount of time.' Charles Kerrigan, a partner at CMS, said that for a long time, policymakers didn't want to regulate crypto 'because it would make it look legitimate.' But with the new regulations, 'it's going to be super-expensive to comply.' So, the question is whether companies will want to base themselves in the U.K. or will go elsewhere in search of cheaper, less regulated alternatives. Charles Kerrigan and Anya Markitanova More fundamentally, Kerrigan said, no country can be, as the Treasury's announcement about the new regulatory regime promised, both 'the most innovative' and 'the safest' jurisdiction on the planet. But that was only the message for the public, he believed, not what the decision-makers in the Treasury really thought. If you take a moment to look at the press release for Rachel Reeves' draft legislation, it offers a vision of 'cracking down on bad actors while supporting legitimate innovation,' just as Charles said. The government wants to sound go-ahead and whizzy, so there is a promise of links with the States in a new 'UK–US Financial Regulatory Working Group,' which will discuss proposals for 'a transatlantic sandbox for digital securities.' (A transatlantic sandbox? Could get a bit soggy?) If you're not sure what it adds up to, the PR summary is that 'Britain is open for business, but closed to fraud, abuse, and instability.' But how is that going to play out in the real world? Anya Markitanova, a lawyer in Institutional Partnerships at the digital assets exchange Archax, distinguished between retail and institutional players in crypto—retail being individual investors, sitting at home, hoping to cash in on the latest crypto trends—or scams—and institutional being big financial services businesses. The latter, she said, don't want to miss out, but they also want 'peace of mind.' Increasingly, its seems that FOMO is gaining the upper hand in that battle. Markitanova said that institutions who questioned crypto a few years ago now realize the benefits of bringing some of their activities on chain. Like it or not, there will be a new regime of U.K. regulation starting at the end of 2026. 'The new machine is coming,' said Patchay. But it could take up to two years after that for a company to be registered. So, she warned businesses, don't count on U.K. registration. Take a look at other places: 'you need to have a jurisdictional Plan B in your pocket.' The Bank of England – or the Bank of Blockchain? The whole evening was an informative and sobering picture of what lies ahead in regulation. There was no time to discuss what effect a new tokenized, blockchain, crypto field economy would have on the ordinary world of people and jobs, or how AI comes into it. 'Are we there yet?' No, we are still on the road to Oz and waiting to find out whether the crypto wizards are as powerful as they look today.
