What this exchange is
Bitget has run since 2018 and grew above all on copy trading — the mechanism where your trades automatically mirror a chosen trader. It is the largest such venue in the industry, and everything else here was built around it.
Copy trading: how it really works
The mechanics are simple: pick a trader from a list, set an amount, and their trades open on your account proportionally. The trader takes a share of your profit, the exchange takes fees on the turnover.
What matters is what those statistics do not show. The return on a trader's card is the past, and almost always the past in a rising market. It does not say what risk produced it: a trader who doubled an account at twenty times leverage and one who made the same percentage unleveraged look identical in the list.
Two questions to ask before copying: what was the maximum drawdown and how long has the account run. Three profitable months in a bull market say nothing; a year with a comprehensible drawdown is a conversation. And remember that when you copy, the trader's liquidation becomes yours.
Fees, BGB and the protection fund
Spot rates are standard for a large venue; the discount grows with volume and with BGB held. Bitget maintains a protection fund intended to cover user losses in unforeseen situations, and discloses its size publicly.
Withdrawal fees per network are in the live table above.
Funding, withdrawals and P2P
The major networks are supported. The P2P section is well developed and among the leaders by fiat currency count — around seventy by our data.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants derivatives exposure without making the calls themselves — provided they pick a trader as carefully as they would pick a trade. For pure spot it is middling: books trail the top three and the listing trails MEXC and Gate.
