Bitget Strengthens Market Integrity Framework

Market Integrity Measures Across Token Listings, Spot Trading and Market Makers

Press release

Trust in any financial platform depends on its ability to identify risks early, act with discipline, and protect users' funds. As the market grows, the responsibility is split between all the functioning parties. Bitget is introducing a stronger Market Integrity Token Accountability Framework to improve market integrity through clearer controls, tighter contractual obligations, and faster escalation when suspicious behavior is identified.

The objective is to limit the ability of token teams to use listings as exit liquidity, enhance post-listing surveillance, identify and report suspicious wallet activity, provide clearer risk indicators to users, and act in a timely manner when projects or market makers fail to cooperate.

Tighter Rules for Token Founding Teams and Market Makers

For every newly listed project, Bitget signs a listing contract that sets clear obligations for the project team and its market makers. These contracts state that Bitget will not tolerate any activity intended to manipulate token prices, create abnormal volatility, mislead users, or damage market fairness.

Project teams and market makers are expected to act within the agreed listing terms. This includes maintaining responsible market behavior, cooperating with risk reviews, and avoiding trading or liquidity practices that could lead to artificial price movements. If a project team or market maker violates these rules, Bitget has the contractual and legal right to pursue liability in accordance with applicable laws and platform rules.

These actions may include, but are not limited to:-

Applying or maintaining “ST” (Special Treatment) labels
Hiding or restricting visibility of token trading pairs
Displaying prominent high-risk warnings
Suspending deposit and withdrawal functions
Temporarily or permanently suspending trading pairs
Freezing accounts suspected of price manipulation
Banning associated projects linked to the same team
Revoking market maker status indefinitely
Proceeding with public delisting when necessary

Stronger Risk Analysis for Spot Trading

Bitget has an advanced structure assessment for Spot trading risks by turning fragmented signals into a single, traceable risk score. The system reviews tokens across four areas: on-chain activity, whitepaper and technical fundamentals, community sentiment, and liquidity, with each dimension contributing to a 100-point scoring model. This helps compare assets more consistently and track whether a listed token remains healthy after launch.

The system monitors risks that can directly affect users, including contract-level concerns, high holder concentration, abnormal on-chain behavior, weak liquidity, order-book imbalance, negative community sentiment, and sudden score declines. Bitget's in-house risk analysis supports post-listing monitoring by recalculating scores daily and triggering alerts when any key dimension drops beyond a set threshold.

This allows to detect potential issues earlier, understand whether risks are isolated or linked across multiple areas, and surface clearer risk signals when a token shows signs of deterioration.

Faster Escalation for Abnormal Activity

The framework prioritizes escalation when suspicious behavior is detected. If a token shows signs of manipulation, it will quickly be flagged to review the project team, market makers, wallet flows, and trading behavior.

Where needed, Bitget may suspend deposits, freeze accounts suspected of price manipulation, pause trading, hide token pairs, maintain high-risk labels, or initiate delisting procedures. Promotional activity may also be paused when a token is under review, especially if continued marketing could expose users to heightened risk.

Reporting Suspicious Projects to Regulators

After thorough internal investigation, Bitget will adhere to its legal and regulatory obligations and retains the right to report any suspicious token projects, market-maker misconduct, insider dumping, wash trading, and project-side abuse to relevant authorities and regulators in relevant jurisdictions where Bitget operates or is registered.

When credible evidence points to misconduct, we will preserve records, restrict harmful activity where appropriate, and report relevant findings through our regulatory channels. We recognize that on-chain analysis provides valuable transparency. While some public commentary may draw conclusions that go beyond what available data can fully support, we take all allegations seriously and are conducting our own thorough investigation.

Bitget also supports a longer-term industry approach where major exchanges share verified market-abuse cases and report repeat offenders to the relevant competent authorities, including law enforcement or regulators. A coordinated framework among leading platforms can reduce cross-platform manipulation . We look forward to working with ecosystem participants in setting up this framework

Market integrity requires clear rules, reliable monitoring, and consequences when those rules are abused. Bitget remain fully committed to market integrity and will continue strengthening its controls so users can trade in an environment where projects, market makers, and large holders are all held accountable to higher standards.
