Bitget Exchange
Bitget
A custodial exchange known for copy trading and a very broad lineup, with 800+ assets, futures up to 200x leverage and a $300M user protection fund. The downside is its Seychelles base and a weaker regulatory footprint than Coinbase or Kraken.
Worth it if you want copy trading and a broad listing (800+ coins), backed by a $300M user protection fund.
Avoid it if oversight comes first for you: the Seychelles base offers weaker protection than Coinbase or Kraken.

Verdict
The good rating reflects breadth and baseline protection: 800+ assets, 0.10% fees and a $300M user protection fund that cushions extreme events. What caps the score is the regulatory framing, still pending and Seychelles-based, weaker than Coinbase or Kraken: for the ordinary user the lineup is rich but oversight is thinner.
Custodial with full KYC and a privacy score of 3: funds stay with the exchange and identity is verified, so on self-custody and privacy the judgment drops sharply. The 200x leveraged futures and copy trading are engagement levers, not sovereignty tools, and move nothing on the trustless front.
