Bitget Token

<p>Seychelles-based cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, Bitget, has experienced remarkable growth in the first half of 2023 surpassing 20 million users, driven by the successful integration of its recently acquired self-custodial wallet service, now renamed Bitget Wallet.</p><h2 id="header-0">Top four exchange</h2><p>The wallet integration has propelled Bitget into the ranks of the four largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume.</p><p>According to a second-quarter report by Beijing-headquartered crypto research firm<a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/research/reports/crypto-exchange-report-2023q2" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> TokenInsight</a>, the top four exchanges collectively account for 85% of the total market trading volume. Binance dominates the market with a 52% share, followed by OKX (15.13%), Bybit (10.6%), and Bitget (8.1%), securing its position among the industry’s leading players.</p><h2 id="header-1">$60 billion spot trading volume</h2><p>Bitget’s Q2 report, released on July 18, revealed that the platform’s spot trading volume surpassed $60 billion, with futures trading reaching a staggering $606 billion. Notably, research by blockchain analytics firm Nansen showcased Bitget as the only exchange to witness an increase in futures trading volumes in the six months following the collapse of FTX.</p><p>The exchange attributes part of its impressive Q2 performance to the introduction of copy trading, a feature enabling users to emulate the trading strategies of select traders. This innovation proved highly successful, attracting 29,700 new elite traders and 169,800 followers, generating $33 million in profits by mid-2023.</p><p>Bitget, aligning with leading exchanges like Binance, has<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/bitget-claims-debt-free-status-via-proof-of-reserves-ea239b500afd" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> released</a> its proof-of-reserves to assure users that it maintains reserves exceeding 100% of all assets on the platform, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether, Tether, and USD Coin. At the time of publication, the exchange’s current reserve ratio, calculated by dividing the platform’s assets by users’ assets, stood at an impressive 223%. According to that data, the crypto platform is claiming a debt-free status for the business.</p><h2 id="header-2">Regional expansion</h2><p>As part of its expansion strategy, Bitget has obtained virtual asset service provider registration in Poland and Lithuania in 2023, solidifying its presence in Europe. Additionally, the exchange has announced plans to establish a hub for its operations in that region.</p><p>Last week, it<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/bitget-targets-mena-business-expansion-313ffec565ac" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> announced</a> that it was also targeting the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as part of its expansion plans. To support that effort, it has opened an office in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and hired 60 employees with plans on hiring up to 60 more over the course of the next two years.</p><p>Crypto loans have been an area that has seen major failures within the sector over the last couple of years. However, this isn’t holding Bitget back from getting involved. Earlier this month, it<a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/bitget-launches-crypto-loans-product-43ca790a622d" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> announced</a> the launch of its crypto loans product, which is aimed at market participants who are seeking alternative funding solutions, backed by digital assets.</p><p>With Bitget’s rebranding efforts following the BitKeep acquisition and its exceptional growth in user numbers and trading volumes, the exchange is making a concerted effort to position itself so as to effect a global expansion strategy. As the market evolves further, it will be interesting to see how the crypto trading market settles, given that there are now a number of firms in the space actively vying for that business.</p>
