Bitget to Reward Staff with 100U Gold-Pegged Stablecoin as TradFi Opens to Gold Trading on Jan 5, 2026

Bitget chief executive Gracy Chen outlined a year-start incentive on January 1, 2026: instead of a cash New Year’s red envelope, every full-time employee will receive a 100U gold‑pegged stablecoin, aligning compensation with digital-asset liquidity and risk management goals.

On January 5, Bitget plans to launch its TradFi platform in full, enabling users to trade traditional assets such as gold on the exchange, signaling a broader cross-asset offering and potential capital-raising dynamics for the firm.

Market observers say the move underscores a convergent strategy that ties staff incentives to stablecoins while expanding product scope; reviewers should monitor regulatory developments, custody practices, and liquidity considerations as the platform evolves.
