Bitget, the world's largest open-source exchange (UEX), made its debut at Blockchain Life 2025, a leading global blockchain and Web3 innovation event. On October 28th, Bitget's COO, Vugar Usi Zade, took to the Uminers stage to participate in the high-profile roundtable discussion "The Intersection of Centralized and Decentralized Finance."
The forum was moderated by Elena Gonta, Senior Manager of Institutional Business at Bitget, and featured several industry leaders who discussed the future convergence of finance, including Nenter Chow, Global CEO of BitMart Exchange, and Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX. The forum focused on how the integration of traditional and decentralized systems can jointly drive the formation of a new generation of global financial landscape.
Vugar Usi Zade: The future of finance is not replacement, but connection.
During the discussion, Vugar pointed out: "The convergence of CeFi and DeFi is an inevitable evolution, not a competition between them." He emphasized that platforms like Bitget are working to build bridges connecting liquidity, security, and innovation.
"The future of finance is not about replacing existing systems, but about connecting them. Bitget is building a borderless financial network that perfectly combines the trust and scale of traditional finance with the freedom and innovation of Web3."
— Vugar Usi Zade, COO of Bitget
He added, "The real evolution is not DeFi versus CeFi, but rather the integration of the two, allowing users to freely, securely, and seamlessly transfer value and take control of their own lives."
The forum further explored the practical benefits of this integration, including improved efficiency in cross-border payments, asset tokenization, and innovative lending models, combining the stability of traditional finance with the flexibility of blockchain technology. Vugar also mentioned the role of the Bitget Onchain ecosystem and the AI assistant GetAgent, highlighting how intelligent tools enable both institutional and retail users to easily access complex trading scenarios, achieving true "inclusive fintech."
Bitget's exclusive dinner "An Andalusian Affair": Celebrating its seventh anniversary and connecting the global financial community.
In addition to the main forum, Bitget also hosted an exclusive VIP event during the conference – "Bitget Soirée: An Andalusian Affair — Celebrating 7 Years". This private celebration brought together global industry partners, institutional clients, and opinion leaders to celebrate Bitget's seven years of growth, innovation, and global community expansion.
The event not only reviewed the brand's development from a trading platform to a comprehensive financial ecosystem, but also showcased how Bitget transcends the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), continuously driving the future of "Borderless Finance" with its forward-looking vision and technological strength.
