VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced a new Institutional Financing Program offering zero-interest loans for market makers focused on altcoins — part of its broader effort to strengthen liquidity in emerging digital assets.
Running from November 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026, the initiative allows qualified institutional participants to borrow up to 2 million USDT interest-free by meeting just half of the usual trading-volume thresholds required under Bitget's standard financing program. The goal: to make capital more efficient for firms that help stabilize smaller, less liquid markets.
The new program reflects Bitget's broader push to strengthen liquidity across emerging assets. Unlike major crypto pairs such as BTC and ETH, altcoins often suffer from fragmented depth and volatile spreads, making them challenging for market makers to support efficiently.
To address this, Bitget's initiative cuts the qualification criteria in half compared to standard institutional financing requirements. Professional market-making teams that reach 50% of the regular monthly trading volume benchmark will qualify for zero-interest financing, dramatically improving their capital efficiency.
"Liquidity in smaller-cap tokens is essential for a healthy crypto market," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "By lowering the entry barrier for professional market makers, we're empowering them to operate more flexibly, deploy capital efficiently, and ultimately make altcoin markets more accessible and less volatile for all traders."
The program is tailored for:
- Professional quantitative trading firms and market makers specializing in altcoin pairs;
- New institutional clients not currently enrolled in Bitget's existing financing programs.
Bitget's initiative mirrors a broader industry trend toward specialized programs for liquidity providers, replacing traditional one-size-fits-all fee models with customized, performance-linked financing structures.
By rewarding trading activity in smaller-cap markets, Bitget aims to create more balanced liquidity conditions across the ecosystem — a crucial step in advancing crypto market maturity and stability.

Bitget Launches Institutional Financing Program Offering Interest-Free 2M USDT to Boost Altcoin Liquidity
SINGAPORE, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- North London Collegiate School (Singapore) has established itself as a leading British international school in Singapore - and aims to become a regional hub for musical excellence. The school's newly launched Young Musicians Award, a competition open to instrumentalists aged 5 to 18 from across Asia, reflects a deeper institutional commitment: that artistic development is inseparable from academic rigour.
A School-Wide Philosophy, Not Just a Programme
At North London Collegiate School (Singapore), music is not a peripheral activity. It sits at the heart of the school's approach to developing confident, disciplined, and creatively ambitious young people. The Young Musicians Award extends this philosophy beyond the school's own student body, inviting young musicians from across the region to compete on a professional stage.
The competition received a strong regional response, with around 50 applicants shortlisted from across Asia. Finalists perform live in the school's 700-seat auditorium - an environment designed to prepare young artists for the realities of professional performance.
Professional Opportunities and Recognition
The Young Musicians Award offers more than stage time. Through a partnership with Songwork International, finalists gain access to Singapore's Lion Studios for professional recording sessions - an experience that introduces young musicians to industry-standard production environments typically encountered only at advanced levels of training.
Winners are invited to perform at a gala concert, while selected concerto finalists have the opportunity to perform alongside a symphony orchestra. A S$5,000 scholarship is awarded to one exceptional musician, representing a sustained investment in long-term artistic development.
International Standards, Delivered Locally
What further sets this initiative apart is the calibre of expertise behind it. The judging panel brings together leading figures from the international classical music world:
- Joshua Tan – Associate Conductor, Singapore Symphony Orchestra
- George Harliono – British concert pianist and Tchaikovsky Competition silver medallist
- Zhi Jong Wang – Professor of Violin, Shanghai Conservatory of Music
Their involvement reflects the global outlook that defines education at North London Collegiate School (Singapore), offering young musicians access to professional feedback typically reserved for conservatoire-level training.
Edward Jeffries, Head of Music (Senior School) at NLCS (Singapore) and founding lead of the Young Musicians Award, said: "The NLCS (Singapore) Young Musicians Award was conceived as a platform within Asia for young musicians to share their talent and celebrate their artistry. We are not a British International School that operates behind closed doors, but a community that seeks to champion excellence and provide our students and the wider community with opportunities to be inspired by exceptional young performers.
This competition is not intended solely for the benefit of our own students; rather, it aims to give a voice to young musicians from across the region. In doing so, it reflects our Music Department's motto: "We Aspire to Inspire."
Contributing to the Region's Musical Landscape
By opening the competition to young musicians across Asia, North London Collegiate School (Singapore) is adding to the growing ecosystem of opportunities for classical music development in the region. The Young Musicians Award offers an accessible pathway for instrumentalists as young as five to experience professional performance settings, receive feedback from international adjudicators, and access studio recording - experiences that complement and strengthen the musical journeys young artists are already pursuing.
