As Web3 innovation continues to surge in India, Bitget is setting its sights on becoming a regulated crypto exchange in this rapidly expanding market. With a strong focus on user protection and compliance, Bitget is actively engaging with Indian authorities to ensure it meets the necessary regulatory standards.
India's crypto market has seen remarkable growth, fueled by increasing interest and adoption.

She affirmed that "India is a high-priority market" for Bitget, which is exploring various ways to serve the region while maintaining strict compliance standards.
Bitget is not just focusing on regulatory aspects; it is also actively organizing user awareness campaigns to educate and empower users in making informed decisions about their digital assets. Transparency remains a core value for Bitget, demonstrated by its provision of verifiable Proof of Reserves data and unrestricted access to comprehensive fund storage information, including publicly available wallet addresses. These measures solidify Bitget’s reputation as a trusted and secure crypto exchange.
The company's commitment to India is further evidenced by its efforts to obtain Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) licenses in Lithuania and Poland, adhering to regulatory standards and creating a secure trading environment with KYC/AML compliance. Bitget's strategy includes exploring all avenues to meet local compliance and better serve the Indian market.
