Bitget launches up to 12% APR stablecoin yields amid recovery from $387.5M exploit.
DeFi & Yields ·
Bitget is offering up to 12% annual percentage rate on select stablecoins through a limited-time earn program running from late September to early October 2026. The promotion includes high-yield benefits on USDT and USDGO holdings across multiple account types, with rewards funded by 30% of the platform's trading fees distributed in USDT within two working days of each phase.
The offering comes as the exchange moves to rebuild user confidence following a significant security incident. Bitget emphasizes upgraded security measures, including maintenance of reserve ratios above 100% and a user protection fund designed to counter risks. The exchange notes that users can verify their assets at any time and will receive a 30-day VIP tier protection pass during the promotion period.
The mechanics vary by product: USDT and USDGO Simple Earn products require separate subscription to receive the promotional rate and accrue interest hourly, while USDGO HodlerYield automatically applies to qualifying holdings across spot and futures accounts without registration. Interest rates will adjust based on market conditions once the campaign concludes. The extent to which these yields address longer-term user retention or regulatory concerns remains unclear.
