  • Regulatory posture varies by jurisdiction
  • Copy trading past performance doesn't predict future returns

The short answer

Bitget's differentiator is copy trading at scale. Combined with competitive spot + derivatives fees, an integrated non-custodial wallet, and reasonable UX, it's a well-rounded non-US exchange. Not available to US retail.

Score: 7.5 / 10 for non-US traders.

Fee schedule

  • Spot: 0.10% maker / 0.10% taker base; BGB discount and volume tiers reduce further
  • Perpetual futures: 0.02% maker / 0.06% taker
  • VIP tiers: available for high-volume traders

Copy Trading in brief

Bitget is one of the two or three largest copy-trading crypto exchanges (with Bybit). Users allocate capital to auto-copy master traders. Bitget's master trader ecosystem has meaningful depth — thousands of active master traders with published performance histories. The usual caveats apply: past performance doesn't predict future returns.

Product depth

  • Spot (700+ assets)
  • Perpetual futures + quarterly
  • Copy Trading (flagship product)
  • Launchpad + Launchpool
  • Earn (flexible + locked)
  • Bitget Wallet — non-custodial multi-chain wallet
  • Bots (grid, DCA, arbitrage)
  • Bitget Card (limited regions)

Frequently asked questions

Is Bitget safe?
Bitget publishes Proof of Reserves and has continued to process trades and honor withdrawals through market events. No major consumer-fund security incident in operational history. Regulatorily thinner than tier-1 exchanges — fewer major licenses. For long-term holdings, hardware wallet.
Can US customers use Bitget?
No. Bitget does not serve US retail. Attempting VPN circumvention violates ToS.
What is Bitget Copy Trading?
Bitget's Copy Trading lets users automatically replicate the positions of designated master traders on Bitget. Master traders publish performance stats; followers allocate capital to copy proportionally. Master traders earn a share of profits. Bitget is one of the highest-volume copy-trading exchanges by user count. Same caveats as always: past performance doesn't predict future returns, and copy trading is still trading.
What is Bitget Wallet?
Bitget Wallet is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet product separate from the exchange. Supports 100+ blockchains, integrates with DeFi protocols, has NFT marketplace. Users control their own keys via BIP-39 seed phrase. Not the same as your Bitget exchange balance — Wallet is your self-custody, exchange is Bitget custody.
