Bitget to Merge BGB and BWB Tokens, Advancing a Unified Onchain Ecosystem

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced the merger of its native tokens, Bitget Token (BGB) and Bitget Wallet Token (BWB). The move, driven by strong community demand, aims to unify the two tokens into a single ecosystem token, BGB, which will serve as the ultimate utility token for both Bitget Exchange and Bitget Wallet.

As one of the fastest–growing centralized exchanges (CEXs), Bitget ranks among the top three globally in trading volume, offering a comprehensive suite of pre–market, spot, margin, and futures trading services. Bitget Wallet, one of the largest Web3 wallets globally, boasts over 60 million users and is widely adopted across leading Layer–1 and Layer–2 ecosystems. Together, Bitget and Bitget Wallet now serve more than 100 million users worldwide, securing their position as the second–largest CEX ecosystem globally.

“BGB has experienced an incredible year, with its market cap increasing by over 750%, making it the best–performing CEX token in 2024. This success is backed by the strong community support and growing demand for BGB across various use cases.” Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, commented, “By merging BGB and BWB, we are taking a major step toward building a unified and robust ecosystem that bridges on–chain and off–chain applications. This move will enhance the utility of BGB, and ensure that every holder benefits from Bitget ecosystem growth.”

With the merger, BGB will become the unified token driving the Bitget ecosystem’s growth. It will be integrated deeply into decentralized applications (DApps), becoming a core asset within major blockchain ecosystems and supporting staking in lending protocols and DeFi applications. It will also power Bitget Wallet's services, including Fair Launchpool and multi–chain Gas fee payments. In addition, BGB will explore real–life use cases, enabling users to pay for dining, travel, fuel, shopping, and more, offering a seamless Web3 PayFi experience.

To facilitate a seamless transition, BWB holders on the Bitget exchange can automatically swap their BWB to BGB. In detail, BWB tokens will be converted into BGB at a 0.08563 ratio, calculated using a 7–day average closing price of the BWB/USDT pair on Bitget. After the swap, all BWB tokens will be burned, and the equivalent BGB will be airdropped to users’ accounts. BWB trading and related services will cease on December 27.

“As the crypto market matures, only the most resilient assets with robust ecosystems and real–world value can thrive through cycles. BGB, ranking among the top 30 tokens, has established itself as a leading utility token with exceptional liquidity and a strong community. This merger will enhance BGB’s role within Bitget’s ecosystem and create new opportunities for it to explore the dynamic decentralized world,” added Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

Injonction préliminaire émise en faveur des sachets de nicotine 2ONE® contre les sachets Zone. Imperial se voit interdire toute vente future du produit [Zone] portant la marque Bullseye ou de toute imitation colorée ou marque d’un produit similaire portant à confusion et lié à la nicotine par voie orale

LAKE TAHOE, Nevada, 24 déc. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 2ONE Labs et Performance Plus Marketing (« PPM ») ont obtenu une injonction préliminaire (« IP ») favorable dans le cadre du litige en cours pour contrefaçon de marque entre les sachets de nicotine 2ONE® et les produits griffés Zone vendus aux États–Unis. Suite à cette décision du 20 décembre 2024, les sachets de nicotine Zone de la société Imperial ne pourront plus être expédiés à ses partenaires commerciaux aux États–Unis.

Vincent Schuman, PDG de 2ONE Labs, a déclaré : « Cette ordonnance est très importante, car elle interdit à Imperial Brands de continuer à vendre les sachets Zone aux États–Unis jusqu’à ce que le litige en cours impliquant la marque déposée 2ONE® soit résolu. En accordant la motion en faveur de 2ONE®, le juge a noté que « les défendeurs [Imperial] se voient interdire toute vente future de produits portant la Bullseye Mark (symbole de centre d’une cible), ou toute imitation colorée de celle–ci, ou toute marque assez similaire à celle–ci pour porter à confusion sur des produits de nicotine par voie orale. » (Affaire No : CV 24–08124–MWF (Ex) Titre : 2ONE Labs Inc. et al. c. ITG Brands, LLC et al.)

M. Schuman a ajouté : « Nous sommes extrêmement heureux que la Cour ait pris la bonne décision en accordant cette IP. Il s’agit d’une réparation extraordinaire pour 2ONE® qui ouvre la voie à la victoire de 2ONE® au procès sur le bien–fondé de ses plaintes pour violation de marque à l’encontre d’Imperial. »

M. Schuman a précisé : « Nous agissons toujours dans le meilleur intérêt de nos consommateurs et de nos partenaires commerciaux. 2ONE® a donc demandé cette IP en raison du comportement déloyal d’Imperial. Cette société a délibérément inondé le marché avec des sachets Zone, entraînant une confusion et un préjudice irréparable pour les consommateurs en quête de nos produits au détail, ainsi que pour nos partenaires grossistes et détaillants qui ont été de fervents partisans de la marque 2ONE® depuis le début.

Cette ordonnance confirme notre conviction que le lancement des sachets Zone, fin 2023, a créé suffisamment de confusion entre les marques pour permettre à Imperial d’augmenter ses ventes grâce à la marque 2ONE, à son image, à la sensibilisation des consommateurs adultes et à la confiance que 2ONE® a su susciter auprès des clients.

Avec le retrait effectif de Zone sur le marché, nous espérons récupérer et développer la présence de 2ONE® dans de nombreux autres points de vente au détail dans tout le pays. Les clients sont invités à contacter directement 2ONE Labs (21Pouches.com) ou PPM (info@pplusmarketing.com, 1–888–942–5350) pour étudier les possibilités de vente de 2ONE®. »

Injunção Preliminar Emitida em favor de 2ONE® Nicotine Pouches Contra Zone Pouches – Imperial proíbe o envolvimento da Zone em quaisquer vendas futuras do produto [Zone] com a Marca Bullseye ou qualquer imitação colorida ou marca confusamente semelhante ao produto ligado à nicotina oral

LAKE TAHOE, Nevada, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A 2ONE Labs e a Performance Plus Marketing ('PPM') receberam uma liminar favorável (‘PI‘) relativa à disputa de marca registrada em andamento entre os pouches de nicotina 2ONE® e os produtos da marca Zone sendo vendidos nos EUA. A Ordem Judicial de 20 de dezembro de 2024, proíbe o envio dos pouches de nicotina Zone da Imperial para parceiros comerciais nos EUA.

Vincent Schuman, CEO da 2ONE Labs, declarou: “Esta decisão é muito significativa, pois proíbe a Imperial Brands de continuar a vender pouches da Zone nos EUA até que o atual litígio sobre a marca 2ONE® seja resolvido. Ao conceder a moção a favor ou 2ONE®, o Juiz observou: “Os Réus [Imperial] estão proibidos de se envolver em qualquer venda futura de produto com a Marca Bullseye, ou qualquer imitação colorida da mesma ou qualquer marca confusamente semelhante a ela em conexão com produtos de nicotina oral.” (Caso nº: CV 24–08124–MWF (Ex) Title: 2ONE Labs Inc., et al. v. ITG Brands, LLC, et al.)

Schuman acrescenta: “Estamos extremamente satisfeitos com a decisão correta do Tribunal ao conceder este PI. Esta é uma solução extraordinária para a 2ONE® e prepara o terreno para a 2ONE® prevalecer no julgamento sobre o mérito das suas reivindicações de violação de marca registrada contra a Imperial.”

Schuman observou ainda: “Nós sempre agimos no melhor interesse dos nossos consumidores e dos nossos parceiros comerciais, então a 2ONE® procurou este PI porque a Imperial agiu de forma injusta quando deliberadamente inundou o mercado com produtos de pouches da Zona, resultando em confusão e danos irreparáveis aos consumidores que procuram o nosso produto no varejo e com parceiros de atacado e varejo que têm sido defensores claros da marca 2ONE® desde o início.

Esta decisão confirma a nossa posição de que o lançamento dos pouches da Zone no final de 2023 criou confusão sobre a marca registrada, a partir da qual a Imperial conseguiu aumentar suas vendas com base na marca, nas imagens, na conscientização do consumidor adulto e na credibilidade que a 2ONE® desenvolveu com os clientes.

Com a Zone efetivamente fora do mercado, esperamos recuperar e ampliar a presença da 2ONE® em muitos outros pontos de venda em todo o país. Os clientes devem entrar em contato diretamente com a 2ONE Labs (21Pouches.com) ou PPM (info@pplusmarketing.com, 1–888–942–5350) para discutir oportunidades contínuas de vendas do 2ONE®.”

Einstweilige Verfügung zugunsten von 2ONE® Nicotine Pouches gegen Zone Pouches – Imperial wird untersagt, in Zukunft das [Zone]-Produkt mit dem Bullseye-Zeichen oder ein farblich ähnliches Produkt oder ein Produkt mit einem verwechselbar ähnlichen Zeichen, das mit oralem Nikotin in Verbindung steht, zu verkaufen.

LAKE TAHOE, Nevada, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 2ONE Labs und Performance Plus Marketing („PPM“) haben eine positive einstweilige Verfügung (Preliminary Injunction, „PI“) im Zusammenhang mit dem anhaltenden Markenrechtsstreit zwischen 2ONE®–Nikotinbeuteln und Zone–Markenprodukten, die in den USA verkauft werden, erhalten. Aufgrund des Gerichtsbeschlusses vom 20. Dezember 2024 dürfen die Zone–Nikotinbeutel von Imperial nicht mehr an Handelspartner in den USA versandt werden.

Vincent Schuman, CEO von 2ONE Labs, erklärte: „Dieses Urteil ist überaus bedeutsam, da es Imperial Brands verbietet, Zone–Beutel in den USA weiter zu verkaufen, bis der aktuelle Rechtsstreit um die Marke 2ONE® beigelegt ist. Bei der Bewilligung des Antrags zugunsten von 2ONE® stellte der Richter fest: ‚Den Beklagten [Imperial] wird untersagt, in Zukunft Produkte zu verkaufen, die das Bullseye–Zeichen tragen, oder eine täuschende Nachahmung davon oder ein damit verwechselbares Zeichen in Verbindung mit oralen Nikotinprodukten.‘“ (Rechtssache Nr.: CV 24–08124–MWF (Ex) Titel: 2ONE Labs Inc., et al. v. ITG Brands, LLC, et al.)

Schuman fügt hinzu: „Wir freuen uns sehr, dass das Gericht die richtige Entscheidung getroffen und diese einstweilige Verfügung gewährt hat. Dies ist ein außerordentliches Rechtsmittel für 2ONE® und schafft die Voraussetzungen dafür, dass 2ONE® in der Hauptsache gegen Imperial wegen Markenrechtsverletzung obsiegt.“

Schuman fügte hinzu: „Wir handeln stets im besten Interesse unserer Verbraucher und unserer Handelspartner. Deshalb hat 2ONE® diese einstweilige Verfügung beantragt, weil Imperial unfair gehandelt hat, als es den Markt absichtlich mit Zone–Beutel–Produkten überschwemmte, was zu Verwirrung und irreparablen Schäden für Verbraucher führte, die unser Produkt im Einzelhandel und bei Groß– und Einzelhandelspartnern suchten, die sich von Anfang an klar für die Marke 2ONE® eingesetzt haben.

Dieses Urteil bestätigt unsere Überzeugung, dass die Einführung von Zone–Beuteln Ende 2023 für ausreichend Verwirrung bei den Markenzeichen sorgte, wodurch Imperial seine Umsätze auf der Grundlage des Markennamens, der Bildsprache, der Bekanntheit bei erwachsenen Verbrauchern und des guten Willens, den 2ONE® bei den Kunden aufgebaut hatte, steigern konnte.

Da Zone praktisch nicht mehr auf dem Markt vertreten ist, erwarten wir, dass wir die Präsenz von 2ONE® in vielen weiteren Einzelhandelsgeschäften im ganzen Land zurückgewinnen und ausbauen können. Kunden sollten sich direkt an 2ONE Labs (21Pouches.com) oder PPM (info@pplusmarketing.com, 1–888–942–5350) wenden, um laufende Möglichkeiten für den Verkauf von 2ONE® zu besprechen.“

Über 2ONE Labs Inc.: 2ONE Labs wurde von Pionieren der synthetischen Nikotinproduktion gegründet und hat sich auf die Bereitstellung der innovativsten aromatisierten tabakfreien oralen Nikotinprodukte für erwachsene Verbraucher spezialisiert, die eine Alternative zu anderen Tabakprodukten suchen.

Preliminary Injunction Issued in favor of 2ONE® Nicotine Pouches Against Zone Pouches – Imperial are enjoined from engaging in any future sales of the [Zone] product bearing the Bullseye Mark or any colorable imitation or mark confusingly similar product connected with oral nicotine

LAKE TAHOE, Nev., Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 2ONE Labs and Performance Plus Marketing ('PPM') have been granted a favorable Preliminary Injunction (‘PI’) Order relating to the ongoing trademark dispute between 2ONE® nicotine pouches and Zone branded products being sold in the USA. As a result of the Dec. 20th, 2024, Court Order, Imperial’s Zone nicotine pouches may not be shipped to trade partners in the USA.

Vincent Schuman, CEO of 2ONE Labs stated, “This ruling is very significant, as it forbids Imperial Brands from continuing to sell Zone pouches in the USA until such time the current 2ONE® trademark litigation is resolved. In granting the motion in favor or 2ONE®, the Judge noted, “Defendants [Imperial] are enjoined from engaging in any future sale of product bearing the Bullseye Mark, or any colorable imitation thereof or any mark confusingly similar thereto in connection with oral nicotine products.” (Case No: CV 24–08124–MWF (Ex) Title: 2ONE Labs Inc., et al. v. ITG Brands, LLC, et al.)

Schuman adds, “We are extremely pleased the Court made the correct decision in granting this PI. This is an extraordinary remedy for 2ONE® and sets the stage for 2ONE® prevailing at trial on the merits of its trademark violation claims against Imperial.”

Schuman further noted, “We always act in the best interests of our consumers and our trade partners, so 2ONE® sought this PI because Imperial acted unfairly when it deliberately flooded the market with Zone pouch products, resulting in confusion and irreparable harm to consumers seeking our product at retail and with wholesale and retail partners who have been clear advocates for the 2ONE® brand from the beginning.

This ruling affirms our belief that the launch of Zone pouches in late 2023 created enough trademark confusion from which Imperial was able to grow its sales on the back of 2ONE’s brand name, imagery, adult consumer awareness and the goodwill 2ONE® had built with customers.

With Zone effectively out of the market, we expect to recapture and grow the 2ONE® presence in many more retail outlets nationwide. Customers should reach out directly to 2ONE Labs (21Pouches.com) or PPM (info@pplusmarketing.com, 1–888–942–5350) to discuss ongoing opportunities selling 2ONE®.”

The UAE client was battling to provide a rapidly deployable, resilient, and secure wireless network to its quadruped Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot for remote inspection, monitoring, and critical maintenance tasks in sensitive industrial environments while complying with local regulations. Other traditional and non–traditional networks were considered and failed. Rajant had the solution with continuous connectivity anywhere Spot was required to go.

According to Mr. Mohamad Tabbara – CEO at HSCS, “One of the key characteristics of the project was to build a special mounting arrangement on the Spot robot to ensure full maneuverability of its robotic arm. Movement must be robust and offer an unobstructed view of the infrared camera. Rajant, together with HSC, worked to customize a tailor–made solution fulfilling the client requirements from the technical & operational aspects.” 

Ms. Sana Kanaan – VP at Tabbara Electronics adds, “Safe and secure tele–remote operation of Spot is crucial in sensitive and hard–to–reach environments to keep people out of harm’s way and improve productivity and safety. Wireless and simple–to–use Rajant BreadCrumb radio nodes are designed from the ground up for such tasks. Moreover, whether it is the ES1 or any of Rajant’s BreadCrumbs, these nodes can grow with the capacity needs of the UAE client for future applications and deliver cost–saving efficiencies to the client’s operation.”

“As AI & robotics are evolving industrial operations, Rajant and its local UAE partners continue to support this transformation by providing true M2M AI–powered Kinetic Mesh networks for achieving better operational & business efficiency”, shares Waqas Ansar, Rajant Director of Sales ME.
Rajant will be represented at Intersec 2025 in Tabarra Electronics’ booth SA, A29. Stop by and meet us there, or book an appointment beforehand.
