As they advised audience to remain optimistic about the future of the cryptocurrency market and its resilience in overcoming challenges.
Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget, commented on Bitget transparency and commitment towards its users, When traditional finance auditors refuse to audit crypto businesses, it becomes crucial to provide proof of reserves. Bitget created an on-chain validator so that everyone can check the company funds and the reserve ratio. Bitget has also implemented another transparent protection mechanism for Bitget users, the protection fund. Bitget protection fund is now $330M held in Bitcoin, USDT and USDC. We are proud to say that we have one of the largest protection funds in the crypto industry, second only to Binance that has its fund at $1 Billion.
Gracy also provided a few more highlights on how copy trading is helping mass adoption, copy trading is Bitget's flagship product and we have the largest trading volume from all the exchanges on this specific product that we launched 3 years ago. Etoro launched copy trading in the financial industry in 2010 as a pioneer. But Bitget is the first crypto exchange launching copy trading. As the word copy trading says, users can copy from elite traders according to their past results and historical record. It is a tool for newbies that have a lot to learn.

Guy from the CoinBureauTeam also called up for a body created by crypto people as a new possible route, we need industry standards, we cannot rely on other entities to do the job for us. A body that understands how exchanges work, how public moves, what people in crypto wants and prepares a set of standards under which an exchange should operate and if an exchange cant meet those standards is out. This is maybe a route we should explore.
The CoinBureau Team expressed their delight, stating, "We are thrilled to have successfully hosted the second CoinBureau Live London Event. The event exceeded our expectations, attracting an exceptional lineup of speakers, enthusiastic attendees, and valuable partners like Bitget. Together, we have taken a significant step forward in advancing blockchain knowledge and driving industry growth."
