Introduction
Amidst the aftermath of Bitcoin Halving and BTC ETF events, the cryptocurrency market entered a phase of consolidation in May. Bitget navigated this period with resilience, maintaining its position as a top derivative exchange. The month was marked by significant developments within Bitget, including the appointment of a new CEO, the launch of the BWB token, the introduction of the Elite Trader campaign, and Pizza Day celebrations worldwide. Additionally, Bitget continued to excel in key metrics, such as capital inflow, open interest and website traffic, reaffirming its prominence in the crypto industry.

Retain momentum in Open Interest
According to CCData's report, while the combined spot & derivatives trading volume on centralized exchanges fell 20.1% to $5.27tn, the open interest on derivatives exchanges increased by 30.5% to $55.2bn in May. Bitget - as one of the three largest derivative exchanges — saw open interest rise by 39.2% reaching $9.74bn respectively.
Leader in capital inflow and website traffic
According to DeFiLlama's on-chain data, Bitget recorded the strongest one-month inflows in May among all centralized exchanges, with $975.4 million in capital flowing into the platform, establishing it as an industry leader.
Additionally, Bitget's website traffic increased significantly by 47% in May, with a 10 million monthly traffic surge. The majority of this traffic came from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Korea, each accounting for less than 10% of the total traffic, indicating growing global interest in the platform.
