What can the true salary of exchange executives be? Just look at these numbers from Bitget. According to industry insiders, the Chinese region head of this exchange has a base salary of $875,100, and after bonuses and dividends, monthly income could surpass $1.5 million. This figure sounds exaggerated, but its reasonableness can be verified by reverse calculating from industry revenue. Some have used data models to estimate Bitget's annual revenue scale, which is roughly between $5 billion and $6 billion, a size comparable to top institutions like Interactive Brokers and Coinbase. In other words, the salary levels of core management at top-tier exchanges are approaching those of traditional financial giants. This reflects that the overall business scale of the cryptocurrency industry is already quite substantial—when executive salaries can rival Wall Street, it indicates that the industry's maturity and profit margins have reached a new level. However, such a compensation structure also means that exchanges have equally high performance requirements for their executives, as earning these numbers depends on extremely high standards in market, risk control, and operations.

Monthly income of 1.5 million USD? That means mastering the Chinese market thoroughly, the pressure is immense.

Monthly income of 1.5 million dollars? How competitive must that be? I think it's not high salary but high pressure.

Monthly income of 1.5 million USD? That takes a lot of effort. I'm still here worrying about a few percentage points of data.

1.5 million USD monthly salary? Actually, if you read the contract, these numbers likely include future vesting and "potential" dividends, typical number games...

Is earning 1.5 million per month real? Feels just like stories from the crypto world.

Monthly income of 1.5 million USD? I don't believe you, that must involve a lot of insider trading.
