Bitget Protection Fund Holds Above $400M Throughout May Market Correction
Press release
Victoria, Seychelles, June 4, 2026 —
Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released its latest Protection Fund report, showing an average valuation of $428.9 million in May 2026 despite a month marked by heightened volatility across digital asset markets.
The Protection Fund reached a monthly high of $451.8 million on May 10, and recorded a monthly low of $403.6 million on May 29 as Bitcoin briefly declined to $73,383. Throughout the month, the fund maintained a substantial reserve position, reflecting the direct relationship between its BTC-denominated holdings and broader market movements.
May saw crypto markets navigate a period of consolidation following strong gains earlier in the year. Major digital assets experienced increased price fluctuations as traders responded to shifting macroeconomic expectations, evolving regulatory developments, and profit-taking activity across risk assets. Despite these market conditions, Bitget's Protection Fund remained well above its original $300 million commitment, maintaining an average valuation approximately 43% higher than its initial allocation.
Established in 2022, the Protection Fund serves as an additional layer of protection designed to safeguard user assets during extreme market events. The fund's valuation is published transparently and updated regularly, providing users with visibility into available reserves under changing market conditions.
"Real resilience is measured during periods of volatility,"
said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
"
Our platform has m
aintain
ed
a substantial Protection Fund through changing market
conditions,
which is why the community has built
long-term trust. As the industry matures, transparency becomes just as important as performance."
The Protection Fund operates alongside
Bitget's Proof of Reserves (PoR), which maintains reserves exceeding user assets across major holdings. Together, these measures form part of the exchange's broader security architecture, combining verifiable asset backing with an additional reserve pool designed to support users during unexpected incidents.
The latest update comes as Bitget continues expanding its Universal Exchange ecosystem across crypto assets, tokenized stocks, commodities, and other financial markets. As users increasingly trade across multiple asset classes within a single platform, maintaining visible and independently verifiable safeguards remains a core component of the exchange's risk management framework.
