Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is strategically expanding its operations in the Middle East with plans to hire 60 employees for its new Dubai office. This move aligns with the company's broader goal of establishing a regional headquarters in the UAE while exploring opportunities in Bahrain and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
