About Bitget
Bitget is a top-five perpetuals exchange by open interest, founded in 2018, led by CEO Gracy Chen, and serving more than 100 million users across 150+ countries from its Seychelles base with a Vienna headquarters anchoring its European push.
Its derivatives platform runs USDT-margined, USDC-margined, and coin-margined perpetuals at up to 125x leverage, wrapped in the largest copy trading ecosystem in crypto, where any account can mirror elite traders position for position.
TradFi is the growth engine. Bitget cleared close to $70 billion in traditional-asset perpetuals volume in a single quarter, spanning stock perps that trade 24/7 on USDT margin alongside gold, silver, and forex markets.
Security rests on a Protection Fund pledged at $300 million, monthly Merkle-tree Proof of Reserves showing coverage well above 100%, ISO 27001 and 27701 certification, and a clean hack record since founding, though its EU access currently waits on a pending MiCA application.
About MEXC
MEXC is the highest-leverage major perpetuals venue, founded in 2018 and now serving more than 40 million users across 170+ countries from its Seychelles base. Its catalog of 3,000+ listed tokens is among the largest in the industry.
The futures platform runs 700+ perpetual pairs at up to 500x leverage with the lowest standard fee schedule of any major exchange, charging nothing on maker orders and 0.02% on takers before MX token discounts.
Its regulatory posture is the trade-off. MEXC holds no license from a major financial regulator and has drawn warnings from authorities including Germany's BaFin, the UK's FCA, and Hong Kong's SFC, so users trade without the consumer protections regulated venues carry.
Security rests on verifiable reserves rather than oversight. Monthly Hacken-audited Proof of Reserves shows major assets backed well above 100%, a $100 million Guardian Fund with public wallet addresses backstops users, and no exchange-level hack has been confirmed since founding.
