Frequently asked questions
How much does Bitget cost to trade?+
Trading costs a taker fee of 0.1% and a maker fee of 0.1%, which sits below the 0.25% median taker fee across the exchanges on the site. Bitget ranks 34 out of 121 brands compared on this measure, so it is competitive without being the cheapest.
How many coins can I trade on Bitget?+
The listing covers 847 coins, which puts Bitget 11 out of 176 brands ranked on breadth of listing. The median exchange here lists 74.5 coins, so a wide catalogue is the main draw for traders who move between pairs often.
Is Bitget regulated?+
Registrations cover Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), Central Reserve Bank (Banco Central de Reserva / BCR) Bitcoin Service Provider and National Commission of Digital Assets (CNAD) Digital Asset Service Provider, spanning the UK, Australia, Georgia, Argentina, Mexico, Switzerland, Mauritius, South Africa and El Salvador. Oversight therefore depends on where you are resident, so read the entry for your own country before funding the account.
Are my coins safe with Bitget?+
Bitget publishes proof of reserves, setting out assets held against customer balances. Holding is custodial, listed under custodial and staking, so coins sit with the platform rather than a wallet you hold the keys to. A published figure is a snapshot rather than a guarantee.
How do I deposit money?+
Fiat deposit methods listed are card, bank and sepa. Across the exchanges reviewed, 92.4% fund by bank transfer, 53.8% by card and 33.1% by SEPA, so you can fund the account before moving into crypto.
Does Bitget offer derivatives and staking?+
Derivatives are offered alongside spot trading, and the listed features include custodial and staking. That puts leveraged positions and staking in the same account, which suits traders who want more than spot. Leverage magnifies losses, so position sizing matters more here than the fee.
How do I get help from Bitget?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre. Email is the most used channel across the site at 72.9%, with the help centre close behind at 79.6%. Chat and the community forum suit quicker questions, and a phone line is not among the channels listed.
How much do retail investors usually lose?+
Across the products on the site, the median share of retail investors who lose money is 70.15%, with the middle band running from 65.75% to 74.5%. Trading frequently raises the odds of a loss whatever the fee.
