Bitget Announces 100% Compensation for Users after BGB Crashed

As a seasoned cryptocurrency researcher with over a decade of experience in this dynamic and volatile market, I have seen my fair share of ups and downs. The recent 50% crash of Bitget’s native token BGB was an interesting development, to say the least.


After experiencing a 50% drop in its native token BGB (currently trading at $1.06), cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has promised to reimburse affected users. On Monday, the platform acknowledged operational disruptions and issued an apology. Subsequently, they announced their intention to compensate users for losses incurred as the Bitget token plummeted from $1.14 to $0.794.

Following the crash, the value of the token remained unstable for approximately ten minutes before it eventually recovered to reach $1.04. At present, BGB is being traded at $1.08. It’s worth mentioning that Bitget has not disclosed the exact number of users impacted by the crash as of this article’s writing.

Bitget Pursue’s Users Comfort

The platform will disclose information about its payment plan in the next 24 hours, following which they aim to wrap up the compensation process within the next three days. In a subsequent update, Bitget has guaranteed users that they will keep enhancing margin level settings, risk control strategies, and liquidation procedures.

Today, Bitget’s assets showed unforeseen market-driven volatility, but the price has swiftly returned to stability. Rest assured, Bitget is committed to fully reimbursing any incurred losses and will present a compensation plan within 24 hours, aiming to complete the entire process within a span of 72 hours.

This establishes a trading atmosphere that is both safer and more reliable for users. Gracy Chen, Bitget CEO, emphasized that no user will endure losses under their supervision. Furthermore, she confirmed that there are no problems with the Bitget systems at present. The reason behind the crash is still unclear, but it happened just four months after the token reached its peak ($1.48) in June. Since then, BGB has experienced a decrease of roughly 30%.

Alongside emphasizing the platform’s position in the worldwide market, with a Q4 2024 ranking of fourth at an 11% price point, Chen also sought to reassure users by referencing the exchange’s extensive asset reserve, which surpassed 176%. Additionally, Bitget boasted about having the second-largest safety net fund in its class.

Previously, the price of OKB experienced significant fluctuations on two separate instances. The initial occurrence was on January 23, where the price dipped down to $48. Subsequently, another period of price instability took place on July 5, causing the price to decline to $25.

Bitget Becomes Official Crypto Partner of La Liga

Last month, Bitget landed a significant partnership agreement with the Spanish football league, La Liga. As a result, Bitget is now La Liga’s official cryptocurrency partner in a multi-million dollar deal. This partnership will allow Bitget to capitalize on La Liga’s popularity and encourage football fans worldwide to contribute to the global growth of cryptocurrencies.

La Liga asserts that this agreement falls in line with their ongoing tech-driven projects, encompassing Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and data analysis. These innovative tools are utilized to enhance the quality of games and boost fan interaction.

As an analyst, I’d rephrase it like this: I’m strategically partnering to boost my brand, Bitget, in football-popular regions worldwide. My latest action, developing a user compensation plan, underscores our dedication to safeguarding our users’ interests.
