Bitget Report: 44% of Copy Traders are Gen Z, Showing Highest Interest
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, top crypto derivatives and copy trading platform, has released the results of research entailing the copy and social trading phenomenon on its platform. The data reveals that Generation Z users account for 44% of all copy trading users, exhibiting the highest interest in this strategy while the older crypto traders also leverage copy trading to gain professional insights. The data also shows that African users have the most interest in copy trading, followed by CIS countries.
The research conducted by Bitget took into account a pool of active crypto traders who engaged in trading operations throughout the year. In the first half of 2023, over 109,000 followers experienced profitable returns from applying copy trading techniques, resulting in more than 74 million in cumulative profits in USDT terms. Among the users who employed copy strategies for futures trading in this period, an impressive 93% of them made profits. For spot copy users, the share was 82%. Bitcoin proved to be the most common asset traded via copy trading, accounting for 52%, followed by ETH with 44%.
Geographically, the exchange’s copy traders are primarily located in Western Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Among these regions, Western Europe accounts for the largest share with 31% of all copy trading users, followed closely by East Asia at 26%, and Southeast Asia at 19%. Although African users account for a small proportion, they exhibit the highest levels of interest due to the emerging nature of crypto markets in Africa, where users are often less experienced and more inclined to use copy trading as a starting point.
When it comes to demographics, the copy trading feature is especially popular among tech-savvy Gen Z users, who tend to seek investment advice from their favorite social media influencers. This group (below the age of 25) accounts for 44% of all copy traders on the platform, followed by the 25-35 age group at 32%. Those aged 35-55 account for 17% of users, while individuals over 55 make up 7%. It is worth noting that, although there are fewer older copy traders, their interest in copy trading is high. The data shows that 72% of traders under 25 indicated an interest in Bitget’s copy trading platform, which is also the main reason they use Bitget. At the same time, this proportion reached 65% in the 55-64 age group. Older crypto traders tend to use copy trading strategies to seek professional investment advice.
The study by Bitget supports the findings recently revealed in a report by The Insight Partners, which states that the social trading industry is growing at around 7.8% CAGR, and is expected to achieve a mark of $3.77 billion by 2028. Such growth from $2.2 in 2021 underscores the importance of the Bitget exchange’s engagement in advancing the popularity of copy trading.
“These survey results are indicative of the general market sentiment. The use of advanced tools, including AI-based ones, is making such strategies as copy trading both accessible and profitable for users who do not have extensive knowledge of trading. Social trading is a major force that is shaping the industry landscape as users are cooperating even more as a holistic community. We at Bitget are determined to continue improving our copy trading feature, and that coincides with the general philosophy of our ‘Smarter Trading’ slogan – a key element of our current rebranding effort,” as Gracy Chen, the Managing Director of Bitget, commented on the release of the survey.
The full version of the Bitget study is available here.

MEXC Exchange Report Shows Airdrops Resulting in Up to 35% New User Registrations
VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report released by MEXC, a leading global crypto exchange, indicates that airdrop campaigns account for approximately one-third of new user registrations during peak months. The numbers showcase the effectiveness of airdrops as a marketing instrument that crypto projects can leverage to attract new audiences and bootstrap engagement. The report also highlights the importance of ongoing structural shifts taking place in the industry across regions, as well as user motivation swings.
Key Takeaways:
- Peak user acquisition rates driven by airdrops reach up to 35% in certain months.
- User behavior is influencing airdrop campaign participation through deeper mobile penetration and the involvement of gamification mechanisms.
- 76% of users who sign up via airdrop campaigns remain on the platform, with 18% becoming active traders and 58% trading occasionally.
- The CIS region leads in terms of involvement at 67%, followed by Southeast Asia at 51%, and South Asia at 32%.
- Airdrops are evolving into a means of financial inclusion, in addition to acting as an effective marketing instrument.
MEXC analyzed user behavior during airdrop campaigns and identified a significant shift in the audience. While regions with low levels of access to banking services previously served as the main source of airdrop participants, the latest report indicates that new channels of user onboarding are ousting the trend. Gamification and Tap-to-Earn games in mobile-based Telegram channels are taking center stage as key registration sources for users with no previous experience in crypto. For instance, games like Hamster Kombat attracted over 70 million users, other notable examples of similar grade being Notcoin and Yescoin.
According to the data compiled as a result of the research, users who received their first airdrop tokens demonstrated varying degrees of continued involvement in the crypto industry. As many as 18% maintained active trading patterns and delved deeper into crypto services, 58% traded occasionally, while 24% were one-off users, withdrawing their funds without further engagement in trading. The users who evolve into active traders showcase an average daily trading volume above $58,000, with select ones achieving $31 million.
Regional segmentation of the users attracted via airdrops shows that the CIS is in a leading position, with 67% of the total, followed by Southeast Asia at 51%, and South Asia with 32%. The results of the analysis correlate with low levels of access to banking services in the given regions. They also align with data provided by Chainalysis, which positioned India, Vietnam, and the Philippines as the countries in Asia with the highest rates of crypto adoption, driven by low levels of banking services access and rapid spread of internet coverage in rural areas.
The limited financial inclusion of the countries in the indicated regions into the international banking system paves the way for cryptocurrencies to act as alternative means of payment both abroad and within domestic economies. Users participating in airdrops either withdraw them to fiat or use them for their needs. Pakistan and the Philippines are leading in this regard.
The report released by MEXC highlights the prominent role airdrops are occupying in the evolving crypto landscape, transforming from a marketing action into a separate instrument for user engagement. The ability to attract 35% new user registrations via airdrops in select regions like the CIS and Asia is a powerful factor acting in favor of using the given approach to expanding the crypto industry and advancing its maturity.
