VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, proudly announces the updated valuation of its Protection Fund for April 2024. With the highest value at $465 million on April 8th and an average monthly valuation of $428 million, Bitget reinforces its commitment to fortify user security and safeguard its digital assets.

As an essential pillar of Bitget's user-centric approach since August 2022, the Protection Fund epitomizes the platform's dedication to providing a secure trading environment. In a volatile landscape fraught with risks, the Protection Fund serves as a safety net against potential threats, ensuring Bitget users' assets remain shielded from adversities.

Throughout April, propelled by market trends and the BTC valuation, Bitget's Protection Fund remained steady with an average monthly valuation of $428 million, significantly exceeding the company's commitment of $300 million in Oct 2022. In the interim, Bitget temporarily removed USDT storage from the Protection Fund as it expects to add more financial support to Bitget's ecosystem growth. After the adjustment, the Bitget Protection Fund still holds a total of 6,500 BTC.
