VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), announced the addition of Infrared (IR) in the Innovation Zone for spot trading. Trading for the IR/USDT pair opened on December 17, 2025, 12:00 (UTC), with withdrawals available from December 18, 2025, 13:00 (UTC).
Infrared is an infrastructure protocol built around Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity (PoL) model, designed to make participation in the ecosystem simpler and more capital-efficient. By offering liquid solutions such as iBGT and iBERA, alongside node infrastructure and vault products, Infrared enables users to earn and deploy BGT and BERA more flexibly without sacrificing exposure to rewards.
Built for Berachain’s high-performance, EVM-compatible environment, Infrared helps unlock the full potential of Proof of Liquidity by making governance power and staked assets composable across DeFi. This approach strengthens liquidity, aligns incentives between validators and protocols, and supports sustainable ecosystem growth, allowing users to participate in Berachain’s incentive engine with fewer barriers and greater control.
Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) combines exchange grade infrastructure with OnChain access, giving users a single account to discover and trade millions of tokens across leading networks. While this open gateway enables broad market access without traditional listing bottlenecks, Bitget’s listing highlights a different tier of assets—projects with real backing, clear utility, strong community and partner support. Together, UEX offers both breadth and quality: universal discovery at scale, and curated opportunities for users who prefer to explore crypto’s vastness. The addition of Infrared (IR) further broadens these opportunities, strengthening Bitget’s role in expanding access to next-generation DeFi infrastructure and liquidity-driven blockchain exosystems within a unified trading environment.
