Bitget Protection Fund Maintains Strength with $561 Million Average Value in April 2025
VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, reports that its Protection Fund held an average value of $561 million throughout April 2025, highlighting the exchange's ongoing efforts to maintain strong security for its user base. The Protection Fund hit a high of $617M and a low of $496M for the month of April but maintained a strong average overall. The fund remains a key layer of protection against market instability, offering reassurance to users during a period of macroeconomic uncertainty and shifting investor sentiment in crypto markets.
The fund fluctuated in tandem with broader digital asset movements in April, as Bitcoin traded within a moderate range and altcoins showed mixed performance. Despite a challenging market, the Protection Fund sustained strong fundamentals, showcasing its stability and the resilience of Bitget's risk mitigation framework.
'Our Protection Fund continues to reflect the strength of Bitget's long-term security strategy,' said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. 'As conditions in the crypto market evolve, the fund's performance shows our priority in safeguarding user assets and building a reliable ecosystem that can weather both volatility and growth.'
Launched in 2022 with an initial allocation of $300 million, the Protection Fund has more than doubled in size, bolstered by Bitget's steady platform growth and smart financial management. Bitget's security framework is built on a comprehensive, multi-layered approach that goes well beyond its $516M Protection Fund and 191% Proof of Reserves. With monthly Merkle Tree audits verifying full asset backing and ISO 27001:2022 certification reinforcing best-in-class protocols, the platform integrates SSL encryption and an advanced risk control system that actively monitors suspicious activity. This combination of rigorous standards and real-time protection has kept Bitget breach-free since 2018 and contributed to its AAA security rating and helped reinforce user confidence to set a benchmark for transparency across the industry.

Analysts shows confidence in S&P entrant, raising target by 15%
Analysts shows confidence in S&P entrant, raising target by 15% originally appeared on TheStreet. The analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald have raised their 12-month price target for Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) from $253 to $292. Founded in 2012, Coinbase is the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. that went public in April 2021. Last month, it emerged as the first public crypto company to earn a spot on the S&P 500 index. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts led by Brett Knoblauch wrote in a recent note to clients that over the long term, Coinbase's trading activities will allow it to increase its market share and its activities outside of trading will materially alter "how investors view COIN." Though the analysts at Cantor lowered their revenue estimates for the crypto exchange by nearly 4%, they doubled down on an "overweight" rating on COIN. The note also mentions that the analysts don't expect "material upside" from these new products this year, but there could be a "profound" shift in investor perception by the second half of 2026 and into 2027. During the company's 2025 State of Crypto Summit, it announced on 12 June a partnership with Shopify to help merchants accept payments in USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle (NYSE: CRCL). The service is available to early access merchants at Shopify and will expand to stores across the globe running Shopify Payments later this year. The exchange also launched a credit card the same day. Called the Coinbase One Card, it claims to give users a chance to earn up to 4% in Bitcoin rewards on every purchase. The COIN stock closed at $242.71 on 13 June as the Israel-Iran conflict shook the markets.
