Recalling the past, Gracy Chen has demonstrated multifaceted talents on the stage of the workplace.

She has held important positions at Phoenix Satellite Television, one of Asia's media giants, and later entered the virtual reality field at the unicorn company XRSPACE. Today, she is the Managing Director (MD) of Bitget, a leading global Crypto digital asset trading platform, after working as a television host, producer, and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). Fairly speaking, Gracy Chen is adept at navigating different fields. She continues to expand her professional horizons and moves forward with determination, never stopping.

When it comes to the opportunity to invest in the crypto industry, Gracy recalled: "A long time ago, several good friends, including He Yi, co-founder of Binance, and Silicon Valley legendary investor Tim Draper, introduced me to the crypto industry." In 2015, Gracy Chen started investing in digital currencies such as BTC, ETH, and XRP. She was attracted by the decentralized concept of cryptocurrency and saw it as a challenge to traditional finance, thus embarking on this journey into crypto.

In 2017, Gracy Chen gradually shifted her focus to the primary and secondary markets of cryptocurrency, and began to further participate in Crypto projects. She made early investments in Asia's leading decentralized wallet Bitkeep (which was renamed Bitget Wallet after Bitget became its controlling shareholder). Reflecting on this experience, Gracy couldn't help but exclaim: "It was because I witnessed the continuous brand development and user growth of Bitkeep and Bitget during this journey that I decided to join Bitget, a passionate and innovative exchange."

For Gracy Chen, the core focus of deciding whether to switch careers mainly revolves around two aspects: firstly, considering whether her core abilities match the position and whether this opportunity can empower her. Secondly, examining the prospects of the industry she is in, and determining whether it is worth investing time and energy into as a strategic career move.

I believe that instead of just investing money in this industry, it is more important to invest one's time. This is the biggest and most important investment for me. After careful consideration and evaluation of myself and the industry, Gracy Chen made a resolute decision to fully immerse herself in the Web3 field and gradually embarked on the journey of leading a top crypto exchange.

Gracy Chen's cross-border journey can be said to have encountered obstacles from the beginning.

In April 2022, Gracy Chen officially joined Bitget. At this time, the global cryptocurrency market was in a prolonged slump after a severe shock, and it was the first major bear market since 2018. Many well-known institutions and projects faced financial difficulties and massive layoffs.

Just as Gracy Chen took office, the industry underwent a major upheaval, which posed a significant challenge for her. However, she saw not only difficulties, but also opportunities. "This is a severe test for the entire industry and businesses," Gracy admitted. "But it is also an excellent opportunity for us to attract talent in the market. In times of market downturn, we need to consolidate our foundation and prioritize growth in order to be better prepared for the opportunities that arise when the market recovers."

And the new challenges are far more than that. Transitioning from traditional industries to the Web3 field, Gracy Chen faces not only changes in the market, but also new requirements for professional skills. She pointed out: "This is an industry that requires continuous learning and adaptation, and it is important to stay sensitive to industry trends." Whether it is knowledge of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency trading and finance, or awareness of security and privacy protection, to break into the industry, one must learn quickly and continuously, maximizing their knowledge reserves in a short period of time.

精于勤，成于思。

translates to "

Proficiency in work comes from diligence, and success from thinking.

This cross-border female warrior has always motivated herself to maintain a high level of curiosity and open-mindedness in order to meet future challenges, thereby achieving rapid personal growth and successful transformation.

⌈她⌋力量

⌈She⌋ Power

Gracy Chen not only has strong learning ability and outstanding leadership, but she is also recognized as an advocate for female empowerment in the Web3 industry. She provides more opportunities for women to participate in Bitget and encourages them to participate deeply. Additionally, she also provides STEM education for women through Bitget's non-profit organization, DIY Girls.

On social media, Gracy Chen has strongly advocated for "hiring more women". She believes that the Web3 industry needs more women to participate because women have unique advantages and contributions - female thinking patterns will better understand the needs of female users, bringing another perspective of innovation to the industry, and creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace.

Gracy Chen pointed out that women are usually good at communicating and coordinating with others, and are more empathetic. "When I embarked on the journey of Bitget, I found that there are many capable female leaders here," said Gracy Chen. "Women are not afraid to share their opinions and insights, and we always provide each other with honest and useful advice and support." Gracy also emphasized that women's wisdom and strength can not only enhance the company's spiritual ability, but also improve its financial ability. Women's participation promotes the optimization of business planning and product design, and stimulates innovation and change.

"AI is essentially a productivity tool, while the essence of blockchain is a production relationship, which is an immutable trust system. The combination of the two is actually the combination of productivity and production relationships, so the future of AI and the cryptocurrency industry is very broad. We should consider how to better enhance productivity with AI, create more value, and make blockchain do more fair and efficient value distribution."

After a moment of contemplation, Gracy Chen continued, "There are many use cases for the combination of AI and crypto, such as improving the efficiency of smart contract development and enhancing data analysis. In the future, if AI becomes a core component of the entire productivity, I think it is highly likely that they will be paid through virtual currency."

As Gracy said, AI, as a future trendsetter, will lead Crypto to a new stage of development, bringing a dual innovation of productivity and value distribution to the world. The rise of AI empowerment injects new vitality into the management and trading of digital assets, and this trend means a more intelligent and agile way of operation for investors, trading platforms, and the entire market.

As an outstanding leader of Bitget, Gracy Chen leads the company to constantly innovate in this era of rapid technological development with her outstanding wisdom and vision. In June of this year, Bitget launched a series of AI trading robots, and on July 27th, it launched a new commodity trading advisor (CTA) AI robot, which helps users choose and create strategies more intuitively with the help of AI technology.

Not only generate new ideas, but also turn them into reality.

Perhaps there will be more emerging technological forces in the future, and we look forward to seeing Gracy Chen lead Bitget to create more possibilities in this new era and new field, bringing greater changes to the entire industry.

⌈Long⌋ Distance Runner

In Gracy Chen's view, the path of the Web3 industry is like an endless marathon. On this long-distance race track, only by becoming a long-term and steadfast "marathon runner" can one inject inexhaustible vitality into this industry.

"Unlike those rapidly rising and falling exchanges," emphasized Gracy, "we are building user-friendly and powerful tools that empower people to safely, conveniently, and efficiently integrate into the future financial system. Putting users first, focusing on product innovation, adhering to long-termism, remaining true to our original intention, day after day, constantly improving."

This is not a momentary sprint, not a competition for match points, but a long and solid run, a marathon of continuous improvement and evolution. Gracy Chen and her team are committed to being the leader of this race.

Since the second half of 2021, the Bitget team has achieved rapid expansion in global business, successfully realizing global coverage and providing services to over 20 million users from more than 100 countries and regions. In addition, in order to maximize meeting the diverse needs of users, Gracy led the Bitget team to adopt a progressive strategy, constantly expanding business boundaries to establish a complete trading ecosystem covering multiple aspects such as trading, investment, research, DeFi, media, etc. This is not just a number, but an achievement reached under the marathon-like long-term strategy.

For Gracy Chen, the coexistence of the wealth effect and long-termism is the core. Only by being quick and focusing on popular narratives, can Bitget provide users with more early dividends. This long-term business philosophy has enabled Bitget to stand out in the fiercely competitive industry, ranking first in the ATH Average ROI of the top ten LaunchPad platforms announced by CryptoRank by 2023.

Life is full of ups and downs, and there's no harm in the ebb and flow of the tide.
