Direct answer
Is Bitget a good choice in 2026?
Bitget is a globally significant exchange with deep derivatives markets (copy-trading is a notable feature). No Bitget entity appears in ESMA's interim MiCA register as of 10 October 2026, and every member state's transitional period had ended by 1 July 2026, so Bitget holds no authorisation to serve EU retail customers.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bitget MiCA-licensed?
No. No Bitget entity appears in ESMA's interim MiCA register as of 10 October 2026. See /mica/check/bitget for the detailed status.
Can EU users still access Bitget?
Every member state's transitional period had ended by 1 July 2026 (Germany's on 30 December 2025); since then a provider without a MiCA authorisation cannot lawfully serve EU retail customers.
