Web3 wallet Bitget Wallet has today announced the appointment of Alvin Kan as its Chief Operating Officer. Kan, who has previously held the Head of Asia’s Blockchain Development position in Sei Labs and BNB Chain, will oversee the company’s global growth strategy, brand development, and everyday operations.
Beyond the cryptocurrency industry, Kan has also served as a senior executive in such companies as LinkedIn, where he ran the data team for Asia-Pacific and contributed to the company’s growth in the region.
Coupled with his notable results of working with Web2 and Web3 products over the last 15 years, this new hire demonstrates Bitget’s focus on maintaining its advantage among experienced crypto users and attracting new “untouched” masses to the market.
In Bitget’s 2024 roadmap, Alvin highlighted three key strategic points of focus:
- Global Expansion and Growth In Local Markets;
- Introduction of New Narratives and Assets;
- Exploring New Opportunities and Innovations.
Among other plans, Kan intends to drive the brand’s presence in local markets such as Vietnam, Pakistan, and Turkey, where Bitget has already seen a big demand. He also noted the importance of partnering with well-established Web2 brands, saying that:
“Continuous progress is key in ensuring that we continually place ourselves and our users at the forefront of Web3 innovation.”
Another key initiative, proposed by Kan, aims to facilitate the rapid implementation of technology and product strategies. Specifically, “new assets will always be at the core of wealth generation within this industry”.
As Web3 wallets have witnessed significant growth from basic functionalities, Bitget’s new COO recognized the importance of maintaining the Wallet’s quality while providing the most seamless experience possible to future newcomers.
