Notes and record state

Record note
Official company material and an independent exchange profile support the 2018 founding year and continuing global operation. In March 2023, Bitget announced that BitKeep had joined the wider Bitget ecosystem; BitKeep later rebranded as Bitget Wallet. On 2026-08-03, Bitget announced a phased cessation of services for residents of Japan. This regional withdrawal does not change the exchange's global active status.
