Bitget Reports $2.08 Trillion in Trading Volume Amid Surge in Spot Trading

Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has released its latest transparency report, revealing impressive growth in trading activity. The platform processed a total trading volume of $2.08 trillion, with spot trading experiencing a remarkable 159% increase compared to the previous quarter. This surge brought the total spot trading volume to $387 billion, driven by new listings and innovative platform features that attracted increased market participation.

User Growth and Expansion

According to the report, Bitget’s user base witnessed significant expansion. The centralized exchange (CEX) platform grew by 4.89 million users in the first quarter of 2025, while the Bitget Wallet added 15 million new users during the same period. Globally, the platform now serves over 120 million users, marking a 20% rise compared to Q4 2024. This growth underscores Bitget’s continued efforts to broaden its reach and enhance user engagement.

Strengthening Reserves and Security Measures

Bitget’s proof-of-reserves exceeded the 130% threshold this quarter, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and financial security. Additionally, the platform increased its protection fund by nearly $20 million, raising it from $495 million in January to $514 million in March 2025. This move comes in response to escalating risks in the crypto industry, which saw $2.1 billion in losses due to hacking incidents during the same period.

As of April 14, 2025, BGB dipped slightly by 2.48% in the past hour of trading but has gained over 10% in the past week and an impressive 273% over the past year.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, addressed the platform’s growth and emphasized the importance of adapting to the volatile crypto market. She stated, “The significant increase in users and trading volume reflects the platform’s continued growth and lays the foundation for future innovation. In the next quarter, we will focus on institutional-grade infrastructure and expand our Web3 presence through the ecosystem. Compliance will remain a key priority as we navigate global regulatory efforts.”

Token Burn Mechanism

Bitget recently implemented an updated token burn mechanism, under which more than 30 million BGB tokens were burned during the first quarterly burn of 2025. This mechanism determines the quantity of tokens burnt based on their on-chain utility, ensuring a sustainable approach to token management. The platform plans to burn $120 million worth of BGB tokens through the quarterly mechanism, further enhancing the token’s value and utility.

Bitget’s transparency report and strategic initiatives highlight its commitment to growth, user security, and innovation. With a growing user base, enhanced features, and robust market performance, the platform continues to solidify its position in the competitive cryptocurrency space.
