Bitget Lists Rhea Finance for Spot Trading to Boost DeFi Offerings

Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has added Rhea Finance (RHEA) for spot trading in its Innovation Zone, effective 30 July 2025 at 14:00 (UTC). Withdrawals for RHEA tokens became available the following day at 15:00 (UTC). Rhea Finance is the result of a strategic merger between Ref Finance and Burrow Finance, both prominent projects on the NEAR Protocol. This integration aims to streamline and reinvigorate the NEAR DeFi ecosystem through deeper protocol integrations and community-driven incentive models [1].

Positioned as a chain-abstracted liquidity hub, Rhea Finance is designed to enhance liquidity access, interoperability, and user engagement across the NEAR ecosystem. Built on NEAR’s advanced technological stack—including Chain Abstraction and an AI-powered framework—Rhea is intended to serve as a foundational layer for future DeFi projects on the network [2].

Bitget continues to expand its offering of digital assets, now supporting over 800 trading pairs and aiming to grow to more than 900. The exchange connects users to multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and TON. The addition of Rhea Finance reinforces Bitget’s commitment to adopting next-generation DeFi infrastructure and expanding its reach into innovative blockchain ecosystems [3].

In line with the listing, Bitget introduced promotional initiatives for traders, including opportunities to earn free RHEA tokens by engaging in specific trading activities or participating in community campaigns. These efforts are intended to drive early liquidity and adoption of Rhea Finance on the platform [4].

The listing is part of Bitget’s broader strategy to support DeFi projects that emphasize scalability and user-centric design. The exchange has previously been recognized for its copy trading feature and its non-custodial wallet, which supports over 130 blockchains. Bitget has also collaborated with global entities, including LALIGA and UNICEF, to promote blockchain adoption and education [5].

Traders are advised to conduct their own research before engaging with Rhea Finance or any other digital asset, given the inherent volatility of cryptocurrency markets.
