Bitget, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has navigated May with resilience, maintaining its position as a top derivative exchange with the highest capital inflow amongst centralised exchanges and sustained open interest growth.
According to CCData’s report, During the wake of the Bitcoin Halving and BTC ETF events, the combined spot and derivatives trading volume on centralised exchanges declined by 20.1% to $5.27 trillion in May. However, open interest on derivatives exchanges surged by 30.5% to $55.2 billion. Against this backdrop, Bitget experienced a remarkable 39.2% increase in open interest, reaching $9.74 billion, solidifying its standing as a leading derivative exchange.
Concurrently, Bitget recorded the highest one-month inflows among all centralised exchanges in May, with $975.4 million in capital flowing into the platform according to on-chain data from DeFiLlama . This substantial influx of capital firmly establishes Bitget as an industry leader.
In May, Bitget significantly expanded its asset selection by listing 62 new tokens, driving notable interest and increased trading volumes. Among the top-performing additions, $TURBO, $MNTC, $CEL, $LIFEFORM, and $WOJAK saw impressive gains ranging from 260% to 1430%, demonstrating Bitget’s proactive approach to meet evolving market demands and highlighting the substantial potential for lucrative returns within its ecosystem.
