Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has pledged to fully compensate users affected by an unexpected price volatility of its native token, BGB. 
The announcement comes in response to a sudden price dump that saw BGB’s value plummet for a brief period of time.

On October 7, 2024, at 2:53 AM (UTC), the BGB price fluctuated abnormally for approximately ten minutes. During this brief period, the token’s price dropped from a high of $1.14 to a low of $0.6441.
