Bitget has launched a new trading program called Bitget PRO designed for institutional clients and VIP traders. The cryptocurrency exchange announced the program on June 18, 2025, targeting high-volume market participants who need advanced trading tools.
The PRO program offers several benefits including lower trading fees, better interest rates, and higher API frequency limits. Users also gain access to increased withdrawal limits and custody services along with institutional loan programs.
The qualification process for Bitget PRO operates automatically with daily cutoffs at 9:00 AM UTC+8. Different PRO levels offer varying benefits and fee structures based on user activity.
PRO 1 requires users to complete 20% of their trading volume through API trades over the past 30 days. Traders who fail to meet these requirements will return to standard VIP status.
The program extends beyond Bitget’s existing VIP offerings which cater to manual and retail traders. PRO mode focuses specifically on institutional-grade trading through API connections.
Technical Advantages and Security Features
PRO users receive technical benefits including increased rate limits for API trading. They also get priority access to technical support teams and direct communication with Bitget’s API development team for ongoing optimization.
The program includes secure private link connections to enhance trading security. Users can access more sub-accounts to manage multiple trading strategies simultaneously.
Bitget PRO unlocks institutional loan programs that complement the exchange’s existing lending services. Earlier in 2025, Bitget introduced institutional lending with up to 5x leverage on spot trading with plans to extend this to derivatives.
The exchange has also upgraded its OTC services this year. Bitget partnered with custody providers Cobo and Fireblocks to strengthen security measures and institutional support.
The platform improved its Unified Accounts feature allowing live trading across multiple currency pairs within a single account. This targets advanced traders who need comprehensive portfolio management tools.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that institutional traders are driving crypto adoption through scale and strategy. She described PRO mode as a platform for top-tier participants to access advanced security and experimental products.
The exchange serves over 120 million users across 150+ countries and regions. Bitget established itself in 2018 and has grown into what it calls a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company.
The PRO program represents Bitget’s latest effort to build infrastructure for institutional digital asset trading. The exchange also offers market-making and broker programs providing additional engagement opportunities within its ecosystem.
Bitget PRO launched as institutional participation in cryptocurrency markets continues to grow, with the program specifically designed to meet the needs of programmatic and high-frequency traders.
