Why this tier

  • Fails: Ongoing issue: Following the 24/9 security incident, Bitget restored BTC and ETH withdrawals in stages from 28/9; USDT withdrawals were opened on 30/9. Other tokens, fiat currencies, and P2P are expected to reopen on 2/10, so some withdrawal services may still be restricted.
  • Meets: Publishes a monthly proof of reserves (Merkle) that users can verify themselves
  • Falls short: Registration only (not a licence) in: Australia (AUSTRAC)
  • Meets: Operating since 2018 (8 years)
  • Meets: User protection fund: Bitget Protection Fund (~$464M)
  • Meets: Users were fully compensated for every known incident
  • Note: EU: no MiCA licence yet (application pending with Austria's FMA); not accepting new EU/EEA customers.
  • Note: Japan: stopped accepting new customers, closing positions only from 1/11, all positions closed on 31/12/2026 (withdrawals remain open).
  • Note: Singapore: no MAS licence; on the investor alert list.
  • Note: CoinDesk Data Exchange Benchmark (2026-05): grade BB, score 74.92, ranked 13. For reference only, not part of the risk tier.
