Bitget review

Bitget has climbed into the top tier of crypto exchanges on the back of one feature in particular: copy trading. Its marketplace lets users automatically mirror the positions of thousands of verified traders, each with public performance data, and that social-trading hook has helped it reach more than 100 million users across over 150 countries since launching in 2018.

The core exchange is competitive too. Spot trades cost a flat 0.1%, or 0.08% paying with the BGB token, liquidity on majors is deep, and the derivatives platform is among the busiest in the world. A protection fund worth several hundred million dollars sits behind customer balances as a backstop, and Bitget publishes proof-of-reserves.

On regulation, Bitget is mid-transition. It holds registrations and licences in a string of countries and, in 2025, set up a European headquarters in Vienna and applied for a MiCA licence in Austria, hiring senior compliance leaders to push regulated EU expansion. It is not yet fully MiCA-authorised, so European coverage is still firming up.

The honest framing: Bitget is large, liquid and feature-rich, with the best copy-trading product in the market, but it is younger and less regulated in the West than the likes of Coinbase or Kraken, and it does not serve US customers. For non-US traders drawn to copy trading and low fees, it is a serious option.
