Trading has many facets and one of them is taking advantage of the experience of leading traders through a strategy known as copy trading. Considering the growing interest towards risk-minimizing options for trading, similar instruments have been spotted on the market before. Leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitget managed to introduce copy trading in full and make it both accessible and comprehensive to users on a massive scale.

Enter Bitget

Bitget, established in 2018, is the world’s leading crypto derivatives exchange with a core focus on social trading. The exchange currently serves over 8 million users in more than 100 countries worldwide by providing them with one-stop trading solutions aimed at increasing crypto adoption, and has became the largest crypto copy trading platform.

In early 2023, Bitget took a bold step in opening up the cryptocurrency market to a broader audience of traders by becoming the first centralized exchange in the world to launch a copy trading service for the spot market. The new flagship product, dubbed One-Click Copy Trade, is meant to become an intuitive experience for spot traders and a go-to solution for newcomers into the cryptocurrency market.

What Is Copy Trading?

If put in simple terms, copy trading is the process of literally copying an experienced trader’s strategies and trades. Users who either do not have the time or necessary experience to conduct an in-depth technical analysis to derive their strategies or trading algorithms can resort to the actions of other traders and shadow their trading portfolio to increase the possibility of making profitable trades. Given the fact that most professional traders conduct technical analysis on a routine basis, tapping into their experience is a surefire way of compiling a comprehensive overview of the market situation and potential forecasts on asset price movements.

The given approach not only provides a fast track into trading, but also gives all new players a readymade playbook to follow. The transparency that comes with copy trading also discloses the selected trader’s returns, trading history, applied methods and strategies, and portfolio makeup. Combined with a variety of trading tools like Maximum Investment, Stop Loss and Take Profit options, copy trading is ideal for both novice and experienced traders seeking ways of simplifying and enhancing their trading operations.

Advantages of Copy Trading

One of the biggest advantages of copy trading for beginners is that it provides them with an instant and digested overview of broader market dynamics based on the actions of experienced traders. The ability to track a real trader’s moves and trades illustrates the logic behind every operation. This creates a tentative connection between market movements and human reactions to them aimed at making a profit or safeguarding portfolio assets. The convenience of the approach is further bolstered by the availability of a wide variety of trader strategies on offer, each suited for individual preferences and risk appetites. Add to that the possibility of selecting traders based on individual preferences and filters, and copy trading becomes akin to shopping for expected yields.

The ability to find traders whose actions align with preferred strategies and limit orders saves an immense amount of time that would have otherwise been spent on keeping constant tabs on the market, order books, trading volumes and so on. Elite traders have perfected and nearly automated their strategies to take into account every possible scenario, making copy trading of their actions an ideal option for users willing to both learn from the best and enhance the yield-generating performance of their portfolios.

Key Features of Copy Trading with Bitget

Bitget developed its flagship product with users in mind, ensuring that the onboarding process is as seamless and convenient as possible. The application, both mobile and web-based, guides the user through a step-by-step guide displaying all the key functions and actions necessary to kickstart their trading careers using copy trading.

Among the key features that set Bitget’s copy trading solution apart from similar products are the following:

  • Availability of thousands of verified traders, both experienced and elite with a successful track record, whose spot copy trading strategies are available for users to copy;

 

  • Selection of filters and metrics allowing users to find elite traders with strategies and trades matching their personal requirements, including trading pairs, timeframes, risk levels, ;

 

  • Broad range of available trading pairs and assets to choose from, including BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH and others;

 

  • Trading turned into a social interaction process through the availability of trade insights, educational articles, elite trader profile details, and real-time market updates;

 

  • Wide range of available tools for amplifying copy trading through multiplier mode and other instruments for maximizing profit-making

 

  • Customized risk control instruments for setting stop loss and taking profit orders based on individual risk appetite preferences.

 

  • Direct access to trading knowledge resources via the Bitget Academy and Bitget Insights, giving unique and firsthand looks at the ways elite traders handle their trades.

Starting Up Bitget Spot Copy Trading

In order to start working with Bitget’s copy trading instrument, users first need to register on the exchange and pass all necessary Know Your Customer and verification procedures.

Once done, it’s required to access the ‘Copy Trading’ section and click on the ‘Spot Copy Trading’ button. The section opens with a selection of traders available for copying along with a filter setup based on total equity, transaction history, follower counts and other criteria. Once a trader has been selected based on individual preferences, the user is required to press the ‘Copy’ button next to the trader’s profile and start on their path to copy trading. After agreeing to Bitget’s Terms and Conditions the user is redirected to a settings page where they can tune the selected trading option and customise following of the selected trader’s strategies.

The application allows traders to invest a fixed amount of equity from $10 to $3,000 once the selected trader responds to the request. A multiplier from 0.1 to 20 can also be set to select a proportion of the trader’s order. The page also provides users with the ability to access the ‘Risk Management’ section and adjust take profit, maximum investment, stop loss and take profit limits. Experienced traders looking for fine-tuning individual trades and more customized options, can use the ‘Advanced Settings’ section.

Once all the adjustments have been made, users need to press the ‘Follow’ button to start following the selected trader. On the profile page, traders can also find the ‘My Copy Trades’ section that gives a detailed overview of their orders and the traders they are following. The section gives users the opportunity to adjust every open order and how they are followed.

That’s it, the copy trading option has been successfully launched and users can now watch their copy trading in action.

How to Find a Trader to Follow

Finding a trader to follow is not always an easy task for a number of reasons. First, there are hundreds of successful traders posting their trading strategies on the platform, each with their own advantages and shortcomings. As such, novice traders should pay special attention to a number of key criteria that can help them identify a trader whose strategies best suit their expectations for successful trading.

First and foremost, consistent gains over the long term are a surefire sign of a successful trader. Truly keen traders with a special connection to the market’s vibe retain high performance throughout bearish and bullish markets alike.

The second key factor is risk appetite. All traders apply risk management in one way or another, however, some have a higher risk tolerance threshold than others. The higher the risk – the higher the potential for profits, but so is the possibility of losses. Users should always take a pragmatic approach to risks based on their own preferences and never chase high-profit indicators at the expense of prudence.

The similarity of many traders’ strategies should come as no surprise, as the approaches to successful trading can align in many cases for many assets. As such, users should draw a clear distinction between the traders they are considering based on a combination of parameters, and not just one.

The follower count is an important indicator of a trader’s performance, as it showcases both high standards of professionalism in market operations and a conscientious approach towards the interests of their followers.

Novices to copy trading must always bear in mind the fact that even elite traders are humans and their fault tolerance is never zero. Any trading strategy is vulnerable to market changes and no single one should be considered perfect. The risk of losses remains even if the selected trader has been demonstrating consistent performance over a long period of time and users must be prepared to set limits accordingly to minimize potential losses.

Copy Trading – The Takeaways

Copy trading by Bitget is an excellent starting point for novice traders willing to generate yields and learn from elite traders with established trading histories. It is also an opportunity for experienced market players to showcase their performance and gain community recognition. The solution from Bitget provides a convenient and straightforward onboarding experience into the world of trading and provides all the necessary instruments to adjust trades and risks to suit individual requirements.

African Women Hit Hardest as Mobile Internet Gender Gap Persists

Published

Kindly share this post

African women remain among the most digitally excluded globally, with smartphone affordability and digital literacy among the key barriers. New data from the 2025 GSMA Mobile Gender Gap Report, launched recently, reveals a persistent global gender gap in mobile internet use across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

It further notes that literacy, digital skills, safety, and affordability of data also remain critical barriers. The report highlights that 885 million women across these regions still do not use mobile internet, with nearly 60% of them living in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

While mobile internet is the primary way women in LMICs access the internet, offering critical lifelines to health, education, and financial services, the pace of female adoption has stalled, leaving 235 million fewer women than men connected.

Claire Sibthorpe, head of digital inclusion at GSMA, highlighted that the gender gap had narrowed significantly between 2017 and 2020, but progress flatlined in recent years.

Although 2023 brought a slight improvement, restoring the gap to 15%, 2024 saw minimal change, with the gap settling at 14%.

The disparity is most severe in Sub-Saharan Africa, where women are 29% less likely than men to use mobile internet.

“It’s disheartening that progress in reducing the mobile internet gender gap has stalled. The digital divide is driven by deep-rooted socio-economic and cultural factors that disproportionately impact women,” said Sibthorpe.

GSMA projects that closing the gender gap by 2030 could add $1.3 trillion to GDP across LMICs and deliver $230 billion in revenue to the mobile industry.

The report, funded by the UK FCDO, Sida, and the Gates Foundation, stresses the urgent need for targeted investment and policy action to bridge the digital divide and ensure that no woman is left offline.

“The mobile internet gender gap is not going to close on its own. It is driven by deep-rooted social, economic, and cultural factors that disproportionately impact women,” said Sibthorpe.

₦800 Billion Infrastructure Plan Set to Boost MTN’s Network Quality Nationwide

Published

on

Kindly share this post

In a recent interview, MTN Nigeria reaffirmed that its ongoing infrastructure investment is a strategic step to improve network quality, speed, and nationwide coverage.

Speaking on Beyond the Headlines with Nifemi Oguntoye, Ugonwa Nwoye, Chief Customer and Experience Officer at MTN Nigeria, explained that although public concern is valid, the company undertook several internal cost-efficiency measures before making structural adjustments.

She emphasised that improved investment is critical to fast-tracking improvements across MTN’s network.

Nwoye explained that MTN undertook extensive internal reforms before embarking on structural changes needed to support this scale of investment.

The company completed its phased roll-out of the increase between February and March, ensuring that every existing data plan was below the 50% increase, and most remained below 25%.

She also noted that customers were proactively informed about all changes, particularly when certain legacy plans were retired and replaced with new ones. “We gave customers six to eight weeks’ notice,” she explained.

“This is why it has taken us some time to complete this process, where we let customers know that at a certain date, this particular tariff is not going to exist.”

Nwoye stressed that MTN had exhausted other internal measures before turning to broader structural updates. Now, with the new pricing structure in place, the company is accelerating its investment in infrastructure, spending over ₦200 billion in the first quarter of 2025 alone, a 159% increase from the same period last year. A total capital expenditure of ₦800 billion is planned for the year.

She noted that this investment is a direct outcome of long-term operational restructuring aimed at improving service quality.

She added, “We are investing over ₦800 billion this year alone in our infrastructure. This will translate into better customer experience, reduced congestion, faster internet speeds, and wider network reach.”

This investment will support the upgrade of over 1,000 cell sites and the expansion of more than 2,000 transmission links nationwide.

Nwoye stressed that these upgrades are designed to deliver faster data speeds, fewer dropped calls, and broader network reach, especially in underserved areas.

She acknowledged the public’s expectations for immediate service improvements but emphasised that large-scale infrastructure takes time to deploy.

Nonetheless, MTN expects customers to begin experiencing visible improvements in network performance by the second half of the year.

In a sector where service quality and customer satisfaction are closely watched, MTN maintains that its ongoing investments are not merely capital commitments but vital enablers of improved digital experiences across Nigeria.

Remita’s Bold Leap: Nigeria’s Fintech Giant Expands Across Africa

Published

on

Kindly share this post

Remita, the pioneering Nigerian payment technology platform developed by SystemSpecs, is charting a bold new course with its planned expansion into markets across Africa.

What began as a payroll feature in an HR application has now become a robust ecosystem processing over ₦60 trillion annually—one that stands on the verge of reshaping the continent’s fintech landscape, Mr. Deremi Atanda, Managing Director/CEO of Remita Payment Services Limited, says in an exclusive interview that will grace the cover of eGovernance Nigeria Magazine.

The forthcoming edition of eGovernance Nigeria Magazine, a publication of the Technology Times media brand owned and operated by Digital Transformation Media Limited (DTML), will spotlight this extraordinary journey, and present Remita’s evolution as an inspiring tale that informs, educates, and entertains readers about indigenous innovation making global strides.

“We’ve become an ecosystem of rails, products, and services—robust,” Atanda, Managing Director/CEO of Remita explains during the exclusive interview with eGovernance Nigeria Magazine.

“Layering all of that with the many different customers we’ve had, typically every year we process in excess of maybe ₦60 trillion in transactions in Nigerian Naira. And this can only grow, especially as we begin to think of a vibrant Pan-African expansion. We’re at the fringe of that.”

In a compelling narrative that mixes grit, vision, and innovation, Atanda recounts Remita’s early days. “What many people know today as Remita actually started out as a feature within our HR/payroll application.

“You process salaries, and you just want to pay—so just remit salaries. And by the way, that’s where the name ‘Remita’ came from: Remittance. We just took out one ‘T’ and left it at ‘A.’”

Even the company’s logo carries symbolism of that transformation. “I don’t know if you’ve seen our logo—it has three dots, in ascending size. There are many stories in that logo. It started as a feature, and then we brought it out as a product,” Atanda explains.

Yet the road was not without its bumps. “The first time we brought it out as a product was to bid for the National Pension Commission. This was in 2004, with the PenCom Act.

“We packaged this into a product in less than two weeks to take care of end-to-end pensions as it was conceived. Trust me, that vision is still viable today. But we lost that bid.”

Undeterred, SystemSpecs pivoted. “We went back and said, ‘What do we do with this asset?’ If it’s not going to work for pensions, let it become a product. And that’s how we renamed pensions.com.ng as Remita, and it became a product.”

As demand grew, Remita expanded beyond payroll. “Some people want to do their own payroll and just make payments, so let them have a site to go to. Later, it evolved into not just payroll payments. People wanted to do other types of payments. If you want to do non-salary payments, you go to Remita,” he says.

Today, Remita has fully matured into a standalone company. “So those three things—feature, product, company. That’s been the evolution.” With a Tier 1 licence from the Central Bank of Nigeria, Remita is now a fintech powerhouse. “We do switching, we do payment service provisioning, we do super agency, we do terminals—everything you can think about. We provide some basic services within the payment space, including payment service advisory.”

A lesser-known chapter of Remita’s growth includes building Nigeria’s first account-to-accountswitch. “Before TSA, we had built a rail—Nigeria’s first account-to-account switch, worked with all the banks. Not many people know that story. Account-to-account. The front of it, the application, and the rail—first of its kind.”

On the pivotal Treasury Single Account (TSA) deal with the Federal Government of Nigeria, Atanda reveals, “TSA was a happenstance. The government was looking to solve a problem, and we were looking to get regulated. It’s that term people use—when they say ‘luck,’ it’s just preparation meeting opportunity.”

Reflecting on the journey, he adds, “These have been some of those moments where you feel validated, where the visionary leadership that set the business up feels the vision is being realized.”

Today, Remita employs over 300 Nigerians and looks beyond its home shores. “The vision is huge, and we’re committed to that. So, we see exponential growth, and we’re positioning for that.”

Mr. Shina Badaru, Chairman of DTML, says Remita’s story is an inspirational example of local innovation with global relevance. “Remita’s success highlights the critical role of indigenous technology solutions in redefining Africa’s digital economy,” he says.

“As the cover story of the next issue of eGovernance Nigeria Magazine, we aim to showcase how homegrown innovation is not only solving problems locally but is also poised to transform markets across the African continent.”

According to Badaru, “Remita’s inspiring journey connects seamlessly with our article of faith to continue to showcase Nigeria’s growing contributions to the global technology industry.”

eGovernance Nigeria Magazine is a flagship DTML platform with operations across print, digital, TV, events, and e-commerce channels.

“This feature not only celebrates Remita’s evolution,” Badaru adds, “but also signals a pivotal shift in the narrative of Nigerian and African technology—from survival to scale, from local impact to continental transformation.”

As Remita sets its sights on Africa, it is poised to bring financial inclusion, digital infrastructure, and innovative fintech solutions to new and underserved markets. With a strong foundation and visionary leadership, the company is ready to deliver the next phase of its remarkable journey.
