Bitget Introduces Market Integrity Framework to Strengthen Token Oversight

Bitget has introduced a new market integrity framework designed to strengthen oversight of listed assets, project teams, and market makers on its platform.

The Market Integrity Token Accountability Framework aims to improve post-listing surveillance, tighten contractual obligations for token teams, and accelerate enforcement when abnormal trading behavior or suspicious wallet activity is detected.

According to Bitget, the framework is intended to limit the ability of project teams to use exchange listings as exit liquidity, while giving users clearer risk indicators when listed assets show signs of deterioration.

Bitget tightens obligations for token teams and market makers

Under the framework, newly listed projects remain subject to listing contracts that prohibit price manipulation, artificial volatility, misleading conduct, abusive liquidity practices, and other behavior that could damage market fairness.

Project teams and market makers are expected to cooperate with risk reviews and maintain responsible market behavior after listing. If violations are identified, Bitget says it may act under applicable platform rules, legal agreements, and relevant laws.

Potential measures include applying or maintaining “ST” Special Treatment labels, displaying high-risk warnings, restricting token visibility, suspending deposits and withdrawals, freezing accounts suspected of manipulation, pausing trading pairs, revoking market-maker status, banning related projects, or proceeding with delisting.

The exchange said these measures are intended to create clearer accountability for listed projects and their associated market makers.

Spot risk analysis will use a 100-point scoring model

Bitget is also strengthening spot trading risk analysis through a more structured review model. The system evaluates listed tokens across four main areas: on-chain activity, technical and whitepaper fundamentals, community sentiment, and liquidity conditions.

Each area contributes to a 100-point scoring model designed to make asset reviews more consistent and traceable. Bitget says the system will support post-listing monitoring by recalculating scores daily and triggering alerts when key risk indicators deteriorate.

The model is designed to detect issues such as contract-level concerns, high holder concentration, abnormal wallet activity, weak liquidity, order-book imbalance, negative community sentiment, and sudden declines in overall asset health.

Suspicious activity may trigger faster enforcement

The new framework prioritizes faster escalation when suspicious behavior is identified. Reviews may cover the project team, market makers, wallet flows, and trading behavior.

Bitget may also pause promotional activity for tokens under review, particularly when continued marketing could expose users to higher risk.

Following internal investigations, the exchange said it retains the right to report suspected project abuse, insider dumping, market-maker misconduct, wash trading, or other forms of market manipulation to relevant authorities in jurisdictions where Bitget operates or is registered.

Bitget also said it supports broader coordination among major exchanges to share verified market-abuse cases and reduce repeat misconduct across platforms.

The move comes as centralized exchanges face continued pressure to strengthen listing standards, improve token monitoring, and respond more quickly to risks that may affect retail users. Bitget said it will continue enhancing its asset review, surveillance, and enforcement procedures as part of its broader market integrity efforts.
