Bitget attained over $500 billion in monthly derivatives volume according to a GlobeNewswire report covering metrics up to June 2025. This milestone underscores the platform’s rapid growth in futures markets and positions Bitget among the main players by derivatives volume.
Report Overview and Time Span
The report compiles data from November 2023 through June 2025 and records a monthly average derivatives volume above $500 billion. The document highlights occasional peaks such as a $92 billion futures month in April 2025 and reports a cumulative total near $11.5 trillion for the examined interval.
Key Data and Operational Context
The monthly derivatives volume averaged above $500 billion with notable highs and reflects a dominance of derivative contracts over spot trading on the platform. During the period the platform combined high-leverage futures with simple user tools like copy trading and trading bots, contributing to concentrated derivatives activity and sustained volume.
Comparison with Competitors
The report places Bitget as narrowing the gap with leaders such as Binance while Binance still maintains a larger user base and absolute liquidity. Bybit and OKX retain advantages in market depth and listings, but Bitget has gained market share in derivatives in recent quarters, offering competitive costs and liquidity for selected products.
Regulation and Risks
Bitget’s rapid growth has generated regulatory challenges, securing permissions in some jurisdictions but facing restrictions and warnings in others, including the United States. The platform also removed several spot pairs in 2025, a common practice that nonetheless produces problems for affected users and projects and raises governance concerns.
Implications for Users and Industry
The increase in derivatives volume makes Bitget a more relevant venue for institutional traders and can improve liquidity for certain markets. However, the concentration in derivatives increases exposure to leverage and counterparty risks, so traders should apply strict risk management and projects should monitor listing policies and regulatory developments closely.
The report confirms Bitget surpassed the half trillion monthly derivatives volume threshold, demonstrating competitive progress while highlighting regulatory and listing governance issues. Market participants should weigh the benefits of greater liquidity and derivatives access against ongoing regulatory and operational risks.
