Other Services
Apart from trading, there are various other services the platform offers. For instance, BG Staking is a useful tool for users who are interested in developing their ability to generate passive money. Stakers have to lock their crypto assets in their wallets. After a certain amount of time has passed, users are rewarded with tokens pertaining to the chosen project.
Also, one of the distinguishing services of BitGlobal is known as BG Staging. This is an investment mechanism that encourages the promotion of blockchain enterprises that have just recently come into existence. Traders are required to show their interest in a certain project by transferring a portion of their assets to a predetermined account before they can participate in Staging. These assets remain frozen right up to the point at which the raffle tickets are handed out.
Moreover, BG Mining is intended to make it easier for users to connect to the most successful mining pools. In order to take part in the Mining Coin Selection Program hosted by BitGlobal, the prospective participants need to fulfill some requirements.
Furthermore, BG Learning is a service that offers users the opportunity to participate in interactive Q&A sessions related to blockchain premium projects in exchange for project tokens. These events are designed to assist users in gaining a better understanding of these projects.
Lastly, the exchange has the Smart Token feature. The seven Smart Tokens that were introduced are as follows: ETHS, BTCS, XRPS, BCHS, LTCS, BSVS, and COMPS. A Smart Token is a cryptocurrency with a yield rate linked to a specific underlying asset (e.g. ETH). So, for instance, the yield rate of the Smart Token ETHS (1x short ETH) is the same as that of ETH but has a reverse trend, meaning that when ETH declines 1%, ETHS rises 1%.
