Bitget Protection Fund Averaged $735M in September, 145% Above Initial Allocation

Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX) today released its September 2025 Protection Fund Valuation Report, registering an average monthly valuation of $735,503,167, a level roughly 145% higher than the fund’s original $300 million allocation at launch in 2022. The fund peaked at $761,442,500 on September 18 and recorded a monthly low of $708,266,000 on September 24, reflecting steady strength through market fluctuations.

Established in 2022 with a stated floor of $300 million, the Protection Fund is designed to provide a transparent, readily verifiable buffer for user assets during abnormal market events. The September figures extend a multi-month trend in which the fund’s valuation consistently sits well above the minimum threshold, offering an additional layer of reassurance during periods of elevated volatility.

The valuation methodology tracks prevailing market conditions and the fund’s holdings, producing a daily mark that highlights available coverage at any given time.

Alongside the Protection Fund, Bitget operates a monthly Proof of Reserves program intended to verify a 1:1 reserve ratio or better for user assets. The ongoing publication of reserve data and fund valuations forms a complementary disclosure framework: PoR verifies asset backing, and the Protection Fund demonstrates additional resources that can be mobilized during stress.

“Transparency matters most when markets move fast. A protection pool that averages more than $735 million in a single month shows a durable capacity to safeguard users at scale, while monthly proof-of-reserves reporting keeps accountability in clear view,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.

The September report shows a broader industry shift toward verifiable safeguards that can be independently assessed by users. As market participation widens across regions and product types, clear capitalization signals protection pool levels set practical expectations for incident response and user recovery pathways.
