Early morning today, the Bitget exchange platform token BGB suddenly plummeted from $1.14 to a minimum of ￥0.53(USD 0.074), recording a drop of more than 50%. The coin then began to recover. The reason behind the huge fluctuation remains currently unknown.
The Chinese person in charge of Bitget, Xie Jiayin, posted, “In the third quarter of 2024, our global market share has reached an astonishing 11%, ranking fourth in the world. The asset reserve exceeds 176%, and there is also the world’s second largest Bitget protection fund of more than US$400 million, second only to Binance, to ensure that users who encounter similar black swan events can quickly obtain compensation.
Bitget will not let any user suffer any injustice.”
A similar situation occurred on July 5 and January 23 with OKX’s native token, OKB, which fell from a high of $48 to a low of $25.
