The exchange was founded in 2018 and registered in Singapore. The founder and CEO of the exchange is listed as Sandra Lou.
It is among the leading exchanges both in spot trading and derivatives. It was the first to offer a "copy trading" service. Other interesting products are offered, such as Bitget Insights – a platform for publishing trading ideas.
It has some of the lowest fees among leading exchanges. Discounts can also be achieved by holding the exchange's BGB token.
Apart from the exchange, the company offers Bitget Wallet – a decentralised multi-channel digital wallet that provides users with digital asset management services.
A key factor in the exchange's stability is its protection fund of over $300 million – the second largest in the industry (after Binance's fund). The exchange's reserves more than twice cover the assets of its users.
In January 2023, the company launched Fund Custody – a service for storing assets in a dedicated wallet for large clients (over $100,000).
In April 2023, the exchange raised $10 million from the venture fund Dragonfly Capital. The exchange's marketing partners are Lionel Messi and Juventus FC.
