Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has received regulatory approval to operate in Georgia's Tbilisi Free Zone, allowing the company to offer digital asset exchange and custodial wallet services.
Georgia has become a focus for blockchain and cryptocurrency firms due to tax benefits, legal clarity, and alignment with international financial standards, ranking high in crypto mining activity per capita.
Bitget's licensing in Georgia reflects the region's growing importance in the global digital asset market, with Eastern European countries shaping crypto development.
The Tbilisi Free Zone provides a clear compliance structure for companies, facilitating market entry for digital asset firms.
Bitget holds licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Czech Republic, the UK, El Salvador, and Argentina, operating under various authorizations and registrations.
Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, highlighted the importance of crypto-friendly frameworks in regions like Georgia, enabling growth while ensuring user safety and enhancing accessibility.
