Overview

Bitget was founded in 2018 and has grown to become a top-10 global exchange, largely on the strength of its copy trading product. The platform is especially popular in Asia and the Middle East.

Bitget's differentiation is clear: copy trading is the core product, not an afterthought. The platform provides deep analytics on strategy traders — win rate, drawdown, PnL history, follower count — allowing users to make informed decisions about which traders to follow.

Copy Trading

Bitget's copy trading platform lets users automatically mirror the trades of experienced traders. Key features:

Strategy Trader Marketplace: 800k+ strategy traders ranked by PnL, win rate, max drawdown, follower count and consistency.

One-Click Copy: Set allocation (fixed amount or proportion of portfolio), max position size, and copy start automatically.

Risk Management: Set loss limits per trader, auto-stop-copy if losses exceed threshold.

Profit Sharing: Strategy traders earn 8–10% of follower profits, aligning incentives.

Historical Performance: Full trade history visible before following — no black boxes.

Futures Trading

Bitget offers USDT-M and COIN-M perpetuals with up to 125× leverage. The order book depth on BTC and ETH perpetuals is competitive with Bybit. Futures fees (0.02% maker / 0.06% taker) are slightly higher than Binance/Bybit but manageable.

BGB token holders receive a 20% fee discount. The futures interface is clean and includes advanced order types comparable to other top-tier exchanges.

Security & Protection Fund

Bitget maintains a $300M protection fund to compensate users in the event of a security incident. The fund is audited and held in transparent on-chain addresses. No major hacks have occurred to date.

Proof of Reserves is published regularly. Bitget holds licenses in various jurisdictions including Australia (AUSTRAC), EU (under MiCA pathway) and others.
