Bitget Joins Sygnum's Protect for Off-Exchange Collateral Custody

  • Bitget joined Sygnum's Protect on Sept. 24
  • Collateral stays in regulated Sygnum accounts in Switzerland
  • Binance, Deribit and Bybit already use Protect
  • Protect assets under custody rose 900% in 2025, topping $1 billion
Why it matters: More exchanges joining Protect cuts counterparty risk for institutions and boosts off-exchange collateral custody as a market standard.
