Bitget, top crypto derivatives and copy trading platform, has released its Protection Fund Valuation Report in July 2023, showcasing that the fund’s value has consistently exceeded US$300 million since November and has surged to surpass US$368 million in July.
Launched in August 2022, Bitget’s Protection Fund stands as a pioneering testament to safeguarding users’ crypto assets, reflecting the platform’s commitment to user protection and financial security. The fund’s inception commenced with a US$200 million value, establishing a robust financial shield to protect users’ holdings in the face of force majeure incidents, hacking attacks, or extreme market situations.
The Protection Fund is wholly self-funded, affording a high degree of operational flexibility and autonomy. This approach enables swift and efficient asset coverage without external red tape or policy adjustments. To further increase its stability and liquidity against external events, in November 2022, Bitget raised the fund’s value to over US$300 million, encompassing a diversified portfolio of high-liquidity cryptocurrencies, including BTC, USDT, and USDC.
Bitget’s daily tracking of the Protection Fund reveals that its value remained above US$300 million throughout the month of July. The recovery of Bitcoin prices around mid-July propelled the fund’s book value to surge to over US$368 million, with an average value of US$359.6 million.

Highlighting Bitget’s unwavering dedication to ensuring utmost stability, the value of the Protection Fund is insured against any decline for a resolute three-year period without any withdrawals. In the event of a potential decline in fund value due to coin price fluctuations, Bitget remains resolute in its pledge to continually reinforce the position, ensuring the fund’s balance remains steadfastly above the US$300 million mark. A testament to this commitment lies in the fund’s recovery following Bitcoin price fluctuations in late March, which propelled the fund’s book value to US$380 million.
