Pros and cons

How the 4.4 rating breaks down

We rate exchanges on five criteria (methodology — CryptoChoice Score):

• P2P for the CIS — 4.0. Bitget's P2P market works: there are listings in rubles, hryvnias and tenge, with payment via SBP and cards. But in terms of the number of listings and tightness of spreads it falls short of Bybit and OKX — especially outside peak hours the choice of sellers is more modest.
• Convenience — 5.0. The interface and app support English, and copy trading is presented simply and clearly even for a beginner. Connecting to a trader to copy them takes literally a couple of screens.
• Reliability — 4.5. Bitget publishes Proof of Reserves and maintains a user protection fund. The exchange is large, but its reputation is younger than the top 3, so we don't give it the maximum.
• Fees — 4.5. Spot is around 0.1%, futures are among the most competitive on the market, and P2P is usually free for the buyer. Fees go down at VIP levels.
• Coin selection — 4.5. 800+ coins is more than many top exchanges offer, plenty for altcoins too. It still doesn't quite reach the absolute maximum of MEXC/Gate.io.

Registration and verification (KYC)

Signing up for Bitget takes about a minute with an email or phone number. To unlock P2P, copy trading and fiat deposits or withdrawals, you must pass identity verification (KYC) by submitting a passport and selfie. Without it, only limited crypto-to-crypto trading is available. For users across the CIS, completing KYC is standard and necessary for safe trading.

Registration takes a couple of minutes — you need an email or phone number. To use P2P and to deposit and withdraw fiat, you need to complete identity verification (KYC):

• Basic verification — passport and a selfie; the check usually takes from a few minutes to an hour. It unlocks P2P, copy trading and the core functionality.
• Advanced verification — proof of address; it raises your withdrawal limits.

Without verification, only crypto-to-crypto trading with restrictions is available. For the CIS, KYC is standard practice: without it safe P2P is impossible, and copy trading with real money requires a verified account too.

How to buy USDT on Bitget via P2P — step by step

To buy USDT on Bitget, use the P2P market: open the P2P section, choose "Buy USDT" and your currency (RUB, UAH or KZT), then filter by payment method such as SBP or a bank card. Pick a highly rated seller, create an order, transfer the money directly, and the USDT held in the exchange's escrow is released to you once payment is confirmed.

To start copy trading or simply buy cryptocurrency, you first need to deposit money. The most convenient method for the CIS is P2P:

1. Open the P2P section → "Buy USDT" and select a currency (RUB, UAH or KZT).
2. Filter by payment method — SBP or a bank card (Russia), PrivatBank/Monobank (Ukraine), Kaspi (Kazakhstan).
3. Choose a seller with a high rating and the amount you need, then create an order — the seller's USDT is immediately frozen in the exchange's escrow.
4. Transfer the money directly to the seller using the specified method and click "Paid".
5. The seller confirms receipt — the USDT from escrow is credited to you. If they stay silent, open a dispute, and support will rule in your favor as long as you have a payment receipt.

Safety rules: communicate only inside the exchange, do not write words like "crypto"/"USDT" in the transfer reference, and check the recipient's name. For more details, see the guides "What is P2P" and "How to check a P2P merchant".

Copy trading on Bitget

This is the main feature of Bitget and the reason thousands of beginners choose the exchange. Bitget is one of the market leaders in copy trading: instead of trading yourself, you connect to an experienced trader, and their trades are automatically replicated on your account in proportion to the amount you invest.

How to choose a trader. On the copy trading page, each trader's statistics are shown: total return over a period, maximum drawdown (how deeply the deposit dropped), the length of their history, the number of followers and the sum of their funds. Don't chase high returns alone — look at the drawdown and the track record: a trader with "+500% in a month" and a three-week history is far more dangerous than one who steadily shows a moderate gain over a year or two.

How auto-copying works. You allocate part of your deposit to copying and choose a mode (a fixed amount or a proportion). When the trader opens a trade, it opens on your account at the chosen scale; when they close it, it closes for you too. For their work, the trader takes a share of your profit (a performance fee). You can turn off copying at any time.

An honest word about the risks. Copy trading is not passive income without risk. Past returns do not guarantee future ones: a trader with an excellent history may go into drawdown right when you connect. You can genuinely lose part or all of your invested capital, especially if the trader trades futures with leverage. Start with a small amount, spread it across several traders and set a loss limit. Who it suits: a beginner who wants to take part in the market but can't yet trade on their own — provided they treat it as a risky investment rather than guaranteed profit.

Bitget fees — a breakdown

Bitget's fees are competitive. Spot trading costs around 0.1% for both maker and taker, while futures sit among the cheapest on the market at roughly 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker. P2P purchases are usually free for the buyer, crypto deposits are free aside from the network fee, and these rates drop further at higher VIP levels.

Operation	Fee
Spot (maker / taker)	0.1% / 0.1% (lower at VIP levels)
Futures (maker / taker)	0.02% / 0.06%
P2P for the buyer	Usually 0%
Crypto deposit	Free (you only pay the network fee)
Crypto withdrawal	Fixed network fee (depends on the coin and network)

Checked in June 2026. Rates change — confirm them in your Bitget account. It's cheaper to withdraw on the TRC-20 network.

Depositing and withdrawing money

The simplest way to fund or cash out a Bitget account in the CIS is P2P, exchanging fiat for USDT and back. You can also transfer crypto in from another wallet or exchange. To withdraw to fiat, you sell USDT for rubles, hryvnias or tenge through P2P and receive the money to a card or bank account. For large sums, check seller availability first.

The main method for the CIS is P2P (fiat ↔ USDT). An alternative is transferring crypto from another wallet or exchange. Withdrawing to fiat is also done via P2P: you sell USDT for rubles/hryvnias/tenge and receive the money to a card or account. Given that Bitget's P2P is a touch more modest than Bybit's, when withdrawing a large amount it makes sense to check the choice of sellers in advance. Step by step — in the guide "How to withdraw cryptocurrency to fiat".

Security

Bitget protects accounts with two-factor authentication, publishes Proof of Reserves confirming user assets are backed 1:1, and runs a user protection fund covering force-majeure losses. That is a solid set for an exchange of its age. Even so, the standard rule applies: keep large holdings in your own wallet and leave only actively traded funds on the exchange.

Bitget uses two-factor authentication (2FA), publishes Proof of Reserves (confirmation that user assets are backed by reserves 1:1) and maintains a user protection fund — a reserve the exchange uses to cover force-majeure losses. That's a serious set for an exchange of its age. The general rule still doesn't change, though: keep large amounts in your own wallet, and leave on the exchange only what you actively trade or what's involved in copy trading. Be sure to enable 2FA and don't store passwords in plain text.

Who Bitget is for — and who it isn't

It's worth choosing if you're interested in copy trading — Bitget is one of the best on the market here — and also if you need a wide selection of coins (800+) and active bonus promotions. It's worth looking for an alternative if you don't need copy trading and what matters most is convenient P2P and the simplest possible start: a beginner with no interest in copying trades will find Bybit more convenient. For the widest set of exotic altcoins, it's better to head to Gate.io.

Conclusion

Bitget is a top choice if your goal is copy trading: the presentation is convenient, the selection of traders is large, and the statistics are transparent. The coin selection (800+) and bonuses are pleasant pluses. The cons are honest: P2P is weaker than the leaders', the reputation is younger than the top 3, and copying trades does not guarantee profit. For P2P deposits, Bitget pairs conveniently with Bybit. When you connect to copy trading, treat it as a risky investment and start with a small amount.
