Bitget

Bitget is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018, originally focused on derivatives trading before expanding into a broad multi-asset platform. With over 120 million registered users in more than 100 countries, it positions itself as one of the larger global exchanges by user count. Its most distinctive feature is copy trading, which the platform claims makes it the largest such network in the industry.

Core Products

Bitget operates across several product lines from a single unified trading account:

Spot and futures trading — The exchange lists more than 500 spot pairs and supports perpetual futures with leverage up to 125x on select pairs. Fees are 0.1% maker/taker on spot and 0.02%/0.06% maker/taker on futures, with reductions available by holding BGB, the platform's native token.

Copy trading — Users can mirror trades from over 190,000 signal providers across three modes: spot copy, futures copy, and bot copy. Followers set position size limits and stop-loss parameters, and the system automatically replicates trades.

Trading bots — Automated strategies including grid bots, DCA bots, and arbitrage tools are available without requiring API programming skills.

Web3 wallet and on-chain trading — Bitget's non-custodial wallet supports on-chain asset trading across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Morph, and Monad. Users can trade tokens directly on-chain using stablecoins without switching between applications.

Expanding into TradFi

Bitget has moved beyond crypto-only products. Recent additions include:

Stock+ — Users can purchase real US equities, including major names like Apple and Tesla, directly using USDC or other digital assets. Tokenized equity (rToken) trading surpassed 2 million transactions with significant month-over-month volume growth in mid-2026.

US stock options — Bitget launched Long Call and Long Put products for US-listed companies.

CFD products — Contracts for difference covering forex, gold, crude oil, and major indices are available using USDT margin through a private beta.

Project Archimedes — A $300 million capital program aimed at institutional quantitative trading firms and asset managers, including STP liquidity access and FIX API connectivity.

The platform also launched GetAgent AI, an AI-powered assistant that provides market analysis and trading support around the clock.

Security and Reserve Transparency

Bitget maintains a Protection Fund currently valued at approximately $351 million (as of July 2026), held primarily in BTC. The exchange publishes monthly Merkle Tree proof-of-reserves reports; the March 2026 report showed a 154% reserve ratio.

Standard security features include two-factor authentication, anti-phishing codes, withdrawal address whitelists, and device management controls. Bitget does not hold a US license and is not available to US residents.

Native Token

BGB (Bitget Token) is the platform's utility token. It provides trading fee discounts, access to Launchpad token sales, and other platform benefits.

Solana Ecosystem Fit

Bitget's primary touchpoint with Solana is through its non-custodial wallet, which supports on-chain trading of SOL-native assets alongside other chains. The exchange lists SOL spot and futures pairs and has historically participated in Solana ecosystem token listings through its Launchpad.

Team and Background

Bitget is incorporated in the Seychelles. The company has announced partnerships with LALIGA and MotoGP, and runs social impact programs including Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her. The exchange is led by CEO Gracy Chen, who took on the role in 2023.
