Press release
Victoria, Seychelles – September 5, 2024 –

Despite a month marked by significant market volatility, Bitget's Protection Fund maintained an average valuation of $390.7 million, substantially surpassing the company’s original $300 million commitment.
The Protection Fund, established in December 2022 as a critical layer of security for user assets, is self-funded and fully transparent, stored in publicly visible wallets.

In August 2024, the Protection Fund exhibited fluctuations aligned with Bitcoin's price movements, maintaining a constant BTC balance of 6,500 BTC. The fund peaked at $424.8 million on August 2, when Bitcoin reached its highest price of $65,358, and hit a low of $350.7 million on August 6, coinciding with Bitcoin’s price dip to $53,956. These changes underscore the fund's responsiveness to market conditions, providing a resilient safety net for users.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, commented, "Our consistent commitment to user security is evident in the transparent sharing and maintenance of our Protection Fund, even amid challenging market conditions. By safeguarding user assets with substantial reserves, we continue to build trust and offer a secure trading environment."
Bitget's Protection Fund remains a cornerstone of its security infrastructure, designed to protect users from unforeseen risks and market instability. As Bitget grows its global presence, the company remains steadfast in its mission to provide a safe, transparent, and reliable platform for
