Bitget is the exchange most associated with copy trading: it is the product it grew on, and its roster of elite traders is among the largest anywhere. Hypercopy is a telegram bot that copies traders on hyperliquid. Same promise, different plumbing. Bitget figures are from its public pages at the time of writing; see bitget's help for current terms.

the roster
Bitget's edge is breadth: thousands of elite traders with profiles, follower counts, and a long history inside one app. They applied, they are paid a share of your profits, and their income grows with followers. It is a marketplace of traders.
Hypercopy's roster is hyperliquid's leaderboard, filtered for accounts of $10,000 or more that trade like humans: no market makers, no vaults, limit-order traders only at a human pace, median hold of at least five minutes. Nobody applied, nobody is paid, nobody knows they are being copied. It is a smaller list of people whose fills are public.
cost
Bitget's followers give the elite trader a share of profits, up to 30% on futures depending on what the trader set, on top of bitget's fees. Hypercopy charges 0.05% of each order, entries and exits, on top of hyperliquid's 0.045% taker fee at the base tier. Over a year of average months, the flat fee is usually less than a profit share; over a losing month, the profit share costs nothing and the flat fee still applies. See fees and pricing.
custody and verification
On bitget, your margin is bitget's liability to you, copy trading requires identity verification, and profile numbers are bitget's. On hyperliquid, your USDC is under your wallet, hypercopy trades it through an agent key that cannot withdraw, and every fill of every trader is public. See is copy trading on hyperliquid safe.
where bitget wins
The largest roster, fiat on-ramps, a mature app, spot copy trading, support tickets, and a decade of copy-trading product decisions that make the first copy very easy.
where hypercopy wins
Custody, no kyc, records you can verify rather than trust, no profit share, and a chat that tells you about every fill where you already are.
faq

No. Like every exchange copy programme, it runs on funds held by the exchange.
can i find bitget's elite traders on hyperliquid?
Some traders are active on both, under addresses they may or may not disclose. Hyperliquid's leaderboard is a different population.

Bitget is easier to start on if you already use a centralised exchange. Hypercopy is easier if you already have a wallet and want to keep your keys. Both will lose money for a beginner who copies the wrong trader; read how to pick a trader first.
