Bitget has reported significant growth in its April 2025 Transparency Report, positioning itself as the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume.
While broader crypto markets faced investor caution and price corrections during the period, Bitget recorded a 17.3% month-on-month increase in its futures trading volume, which reached $757.6 billion.
The exchange’s spot trading volumes also rose to $68.6 billion, reflecting continued platform engagement and resilience in what was described as a cooling market. Data from CoinGecko and WuBlockchain now places Bitget’s market share at 7.2%.
Regulatory Approvals Secured in El Salvador
Bitget also advanced its regulatory footprint by acquiring both Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) and Bitcoin Services Provider (BSP) licenses in El Salvador. These approvals allow Bitget to operate a full suite of crypto services including spot, derivatives, staking, and yield, within the country’s pro-crypto framework.
This move aligns with El Salvador’s ongoing efforts to build a regulated digital asset economy, following its earlier adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender.
