Bitget has secured regulatory approval in Georgia, strengthening its footprint across Eastern Europe amid a continent-wide shift toward structured crypto oversight under MiCA.
Bitget Licensed in Georgia’s Tbilisi Free Zone
The newly obtained license allows Bitget to operate as a digital asset exchange and custodial wallet provider within the Tbilisi Free Zone (TFZ). This move adds Georgia to Bitget’s growing list of compliant jurisdictions, alongside the UK, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic.
Georgia’s crypto-friendly policies, tax benefits, and expanding user base made it an ideal destination for the next phase of Bitget’s European strategy.
Bitget’s CEO Gracy Chen highlighted the region’s proactive regulatory stance:
“Georgia stands out as a key market providing regulatory clarity, tax advantages, and real user adoption.”
The Georgian government is also known for supporting blockchain innovation through grants and infrastructure, facilitated by the Georgian Innovation and Technology Agency (GITA).
What This Means for Georgian Users
With this license, Georgian users can now access Bitget’s full suite of services:
- Spot and futures trading
- Copy trading
- Enhanced security features, including proof of reserves and a dedicated protection fund
All services will be offered within a fully compliant, locally regulated framework, aligning with Europe’s evolving crypto landscape.
Bitget Wallet Launches QR Crypto Payments in Vietnam
Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet is expanding its global utility. It has launched QR crypto payment support in Vietnam, the first country to go live under the company’s PayFi initiative.
Users can now make real-world purchases by scanning VietQR codes and paying with stablecoins like USDT and USDC, across Ethereum, Tron, Solana, TON, Base, and BNB Chain.
Over 2 million merchants, including supermarkets and local retailers, accept VietQR nationwide.
This rollout follows a partnership with AEON’s licensed crypto payment infrastructure, supported by more than 55 Vietnamese banks, such as Vietcombank and VietinBank.
Vietnam’s Crypto Regulation Evolves
On June 14, Vietnam passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, formally recognizing crypto assets and outlining a regulatory path for virtual currencies.
The law, effective January 1, 2026, includes:
- Legal definitions of digital and virtual assets
- Anti-Money Laundering protocols
- Cybersecurity standards in line with global norms
Conclusion
Bitget’s licensing in Georgia and its innovation in Vietnam represent its twin strategy: regulatory compliance in Europe and real-world adoption in Asia. As more governments adopt crypto-friendly laws, Bitget is positioning itself as a compliant, global crypto leader.
