The detail

Why Bitget does not serve the United States

Restricted jurisdiction. The United States is listed as a restricted jurisdiction in the Bitget terms of use, and the centralized exchange does not onboard United States residents (as of June 2026).
No United States registration. Bitget has not obtained the registrations a centralized exchange generally needs to serve United States customers, including registration as a Money Services Business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and state money transmitter licences (as of June 2026).
Enforcement. Bitget applies geographic blocking based on internet address and identity verification that confirms location, which prevent United States residents from using the centralized exchange (as of June 2026).
Bitget Wallet is separate. The Bitget Wallet is a separate non custodial product in which the user holds their own keys. It is distinct from the centralized exchange and should be considered on its own terms (as of June 2026).
Federal oversight context. The treatment of crypto platforms in the United States continues to involve the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and the framework is still developing (as of June 2026).

How to act

What this means for United States residents

Because the centralized Bitget exchange is not available to United States residents, this site does not link to it for the United States. Attempting to bypass the geographic restrictions, for example by using a virtual private network, can breach the platform terms of use and can carry legal and financial risk.

United States residents who want to use a regulated platform can instead use an exchange that is registered and available in the United States. The alternatives below are platforms that genuinely serve United States residents as of June 2026, though supported products can vary by state.
