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). It operates under transitional national rules in some EU member states pending full MiCA authorisation. ChainChoice does not surface Bitget for EU retail users by default until clear MiCA authorisation is in place.

Frequently asked questions
Is Bitget MiCA-licensed?
No. Bitget operates under transitional national rules in several member states pending MiCA authorisation. ChainChoice does not recommend Bitget for EU retail users until clear MiCA authorisation is in place. See /mica/check/bitget for the detailed status.
Can EU users still access Bitget?
Yes technically, but operating under transitional rules carries regulatory uncertainty. Once national transitional windows close (most by mid-2025, Germany by mid-2026), non-MiCA-licensed providers cannot lawfully serve EU retail users.
