Presently, Bitget's OI stands at $6.22 billion, underscoring its dominance and strategic positioning within the derivatives sector.

Bitget has significantly broadened its asset selection by incorporating 872 additional tokens into its platform, thereby stimulating notable interest and trading volumes. As a consequence of this expansion, the top 5 tokens have showcased remarkable gains ranging between 270% and 720%. namely $KMNO, $DOPE, $FOMO $DMTR and $PBUX. This data underscores Bitget's proactive approach to catering to evolving market demands and highlights the substantial potential for lucrative returns within its ecosystem.

Bitget listed nine new listings on PoolX, captivating a staggering 133,800 participants staking 300M USDT and 180M BGB throughout April. PoolX platform's debut, ChatAI (CHATAI) hit an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 45.34%. Following closely behind were Kitten Haimer (KHAI), Dimitra (DMTR), Roost Coin (ROOST), and Nettensor (NAO).

New Feature and Integration

PoolX: 24/7 'Launchpool' Offering Hourly Earnings in New Tokens

Bitget's newly launched PoolX is a pioneering stake-to-mine platform, which allows users to stake specific coins to earn popular tokens easily without any hassle. Each PoolX project features one or more mining pools, with token rewards distributed hourly based on participants' staking volume. Compared to Launchpool, PoolX features more newly listed coins, making it a stake-to-earn platform that runs 24/7.

Pre-market: Buy Early Gems Before They Shine

Bitget launched its Pre-market, which aims to meet the demand for pre-listing trading of the latest tokens and enhance the liquidity and trading experience. It allows users to activate community trading interests and attract early adopters. By enabling pre-listing trading, users can gain early pricing power over the asset, making it easier to become the primary trading market for the asset once it is listed on various exchanges.

Launched in April 2024, Bitget's Pre-market offers users exclusive access to 7 projects including EigenLayer (EIGEN), Merlin Chain (MERL), Renzo (REZ), BounceBit (BB), Meson Network (MSN), and Zerolend (ZERO).
