Bitget Report: 66% of Crypto Users Plan to Increase Investment, Driving Global Growth VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its Q3 2025 Crypto Market Confidence and BTC Investment Trend Report, highlighting sustained optimism across global markets despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. The survey captured insights from thousands of participants across Europe, Latin America, MENA, Africa, and Asia, revealing that about 66% of respondents plan to increase their crypto investments in the coming months. Half indicated they would actively expand their trading positions, while 43% leaned toward long-term savings and wealth management strategies. When it comes to Bitcoin’s trajectory, 49% expect the next bull run to peak between USD 150,000 and USD 200,000, with a growing share of long-term investors anticipating even higher valuations. Regional differences were particularly striking. Nigeria (84%), China (73%), India (72%) led in their willingness to increase allocation, underscoring the role of emerging markets as key engines for crypto adoption. By contrast, developed markets such as Germany, France, and Japan showed more cautious sentiment, while South Korea stood out for its unusually high proportion of respondents signaling plans to reduce investment. Ethereum and Solana continue to be strong favorites among global investors, with 67% and 55% support, respectively, while mainstream assets like BTC and ETH remain the backbone of allocation strategies. At the same time, platform tokens, meme coins, and Layer 2 projects retain niche but significant traction across specific regions. “Confidence in crypto is no longer just a niche trend, it’s a global signal,” said Vugar Usi Zade, Chief Operating Officer at Bitget. “The appetite from emerging markets shows us where the future will be built, and it reinforces why our Universal Exchange model is designed to integrate CeFi, DeFi, and on-chain experiences in one place.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 October 2025 – Café Amazon, one of Thailand’s most recognizable coffee brands, is stepping up its international ambitions as it scales new markets and secures global recognition. The chain, operated by PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited (OR), has grown from a roadside coffee stop inside PTT Stations into one of Asia’s largest coffee chains with more than 5,000 outlets worldwide. Café Amazon was recently named a winner of the World Branding Awards 2024–2025 by the World Branding Forum — its eighth consecutive win — highlighting its rise as a Thai brand with staying power on the global stage. In the second quarter of 2025, Café Amazon sold more than 107 million cups of coffee — the equivalent of nearly 1.2 million cups a day — representing a rise of almost 5 million cups, or 4.9% year-on-year. The growth was driven by store expansion and resilient consumer demand. Already Thailand’s market leader, the brand is pushing deeper into Laos, the Philippines, Japan, Oman, and Bahrain through a franchise model designed to preserve global brand standards in design, quality, and service. At the core of Café Amazon’s identity is its commitment to local coffee growers and sustainable farming practices. The company sources beans from farmers in northern Thailand — including Pang Khon, Phah Lang, Mae Wang, and Doi Inthanon — through long-term partnerships that improve agricultural techniques, lift smallholder incomes, expand forest cover, and contribute to cleaner air. Back in Thailand, OR is scaling its 200-rai OASYS hub in Ayutthaya, an integrated complex covering roasting, bakery production, distribution, and a barista academy. The facility is powered partly by solar energy, operates on a zero-wastewater system, and creates new local employment — demonstrating OR’s strategy to link commercial growth with environmental stewardship.
