According to sources familiar with the matter, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is planning to make a takeover bid for the e-commerce platform eBay, which has a market capitalization of approximately $45 billion, with the aim of transforming it into a retail giant valued at over $100 billion—while GameStop’s current market cap stands at only about $11 billion. Per Bitget market data, following the news, eBay’s after-hours stock price surged more than 10% on U.S. markets, while GameStop rose roughly 5% in tandem. The sources also revealed that GameStop has quietly accumulated shares of eBay and may submit its formal offer as early as later this month; should eBay’s board reject the proposal, Cohen could launch a direct tender offer to eBay’s shareholders. Earlier this year, Cohen explicitly stated he is scouting major acquisition targets in the consumer and retail sectors, seeking to expand the company’s business beyond video games and collectibles. He recently revised his compensation plan, under which he stands to receive up to $35 billion in stock awards if certain conditions—including achieving a $100 billion market capitalization—are met. As of the end of March, GameStop held approximately $9 billion in cash—nearly double the $4.8 billion it held a year earlier—providing financial firepower for this “snake-swallowing-elephant”-style acquisition. Over the past 12 months, eBay’s stock has risen more than 50%; in February, it acquired the secondhand fashion platform Depop for $1.2 billion, further focusing on collectibles.

Bitget continues to advance Web3 education for women and community building in emerging markets such as the Philippines through its Blockchain4Her initiative. This program focuses on delivering a structured blockchain knowledge framework to women and youth, empowering them with solid foundational understanding to meaningfully participate in Web3’s long-term development and access more substantive opportunities within the industry. To realize this goal, Blockchain4Her has prioritized support for grassroots initiatives led by local women advocates. These include: transforming blockchain technology into tangible opportunity for underdeveloped communities; developing the *Young Learners’ Encyclopedia*, a dedicated learning curriculum for youth; and establishing a learning community focused on risk management and trading discipline. These efforts not only help local beginners avoid misinformation and cultivate rational Web3 literacy, but also align closely with Bitget’s global partnership with UNICEF to promote digital skills and blockchain education. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget and founder of Blockchain4Her, stated: “Our core mission is to provide women with a more equitable and open environment for exploring Web3. Seeing an increasing number of outstanding women actively contributing to community building demonstrates how genuine industry inclusivity takes root—and grows—from the ground up.”
