Risk management awareness cultivation guide

In the cryptocurrency industry, risk management lies at the core of sustainable business development. As a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, Bitget requires its affiliates to maintain a high level of risk awareness to navigate market volatility, regulatory shifts, and potential operational risks. This guide explains how to cultivate risk management awareness among affiliates from three perspectives: staying informed on industry developments, tracking the impact of Federal Reserve policies, and understanding other relevant risk control measures.

1. Track industry news daily to maintain keen insights

The cryptocurrency market changes rapidly, and industry news is a key source for affiliates to understand market trends and identify risks. Recommendations:

• Subscribe to authoritative sources: Follow leading crypto media such as CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, and The Block to stay informed on market trends, project developments, and regulatory updates. It is recommended to review top headlines daily, with a focus on news related to Bitget or its ecosystem.
• Track social media activity: Crypto communities (such as X) are important channels to spread information. Monitor crypto communities, focusing on industry KOLs, exchange official accounts, and project announcements to gauge market sentiment shifts.
• Analyze on-chain data: Use tools like Dune Analytics and Glassnode to monitor on-chain trading volume, whale movements, and liquidity changes. The data helps anticipate risks, such as price fluctuations signaled by abnormal large transfers.
• Implement information filtering: In the face of overwhelming information, affiliates must learn to verify the authenticity of content and avoid being misled by rumors or FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt). It is recommended to prioritize official announcements and credible sources.

By spending 30 minutes each day reviewing, organizing, and analyzing industry information, affiliates can identify potential risks early, such as rug pulls, hacking incidents, or tightening regulations, and take proactive measures.

2. Track Federal Reserve policy impacts closely

Federal Reserve monetary policies have profound impacts on global financial markets, particularly high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. Affiliates must understand and monitor these policy shifts in order to mitigate market risks. Focus areas:

• Monitor interest rate decisions: Fed rate hikes/cuts directly affect market liquidity. Rate hikes typically put pressure on risk assets. Affiliates should proactively remind clients to adjust leverage ratios or reduce position risk.
• Follow key economic data: Non-Farm Payroll (NFP), Consumer Price Index (CPI), and other data will influence Fed policy expectations and trigger crypto market volatility. It is recommended that affiliates alert clients to potential market volatility before and after major data releases.
• Understand U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) trends: The strengthening of the U.S. dollar often suppresses crypto prices. Track DXY via Bloomberg, TradingView, or other tools, correlating it with crypto market performance to refine risk strategies.
• Review FOMC meeting minutes: Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes can reveal future policy direction. It is recommended to analyze their implications for crypto post-release and adjust business tactics accordingly.

By regularly studying the fundamentals of Federal Reserve policy and combining this with market analysis, affiliates can better anticipate the macroeconomic impact on the crypto market and help protect client assets.

3. Additional key measures for cultivating risk awareness

In addition to tracking industry news and Federal Reserve policy, affiliates should strengthen their risk awareness through the following measures:

• Strengthened compliance awareness: With tightening cryptocurrency regulations, affiliates should master global KYC/AML requirements and ensure local legal adherence. Attending Bitget's compliance training sessions for the latest updates will be helpful.
• Client education: Host webinars or one-on-one sessions to walk clients through risk management basics, such as avoiding over-leverage and setting stop-loss levels.
• Risk alert systems: Affiliates could collaborate with Bitget to utilize its risk tools (such as abnormal transaction monitoring and account security alerts) and identify potential risks. It is recommended to set internal risk thresholds (such as warnings for excessive single-asset exposure and holdings).
• Regular reviews: Regularly analyze past market events (such as LUNA collapse and FTX incident) and find out the causes and countermeasures. Organize teams to conduct case studies to sharpen risk sensitivity.
• Diversification advocacy: Encourage clients to spread investments across assets/projects instead of relying heavily on a single coin or project to mitigate systemic risks. Recommend diversified portfolios with Bitget's services, including spot, futures, and Earn products.

Conclusion

Risk management awareness is a core competency for Bitget affiliates. By diligently tracking industry developments and Fed policy impacts, and implementing robust risk controls, affiliates can reduce operational risks, build client trust, and contribute to long-term success. We recommend establishing daily risk management routines, participating in industry training, and maintaining close communication with Bitget to continuously refine risk management capabilities.
