Bitget launched stock perpetual contracts, US stock options, and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts during this period. The platform's AI trading capabilities have also been expanded with the introduction of its autonomous trading agent, AI Playbook.

rToken has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $100 million in assets under management within five weeks and recording over 3 million cumulative transactions. One in four new Bitget users now begins their trading journey with rToken. To support this growth, Bitget is expanding its infrastructure, including increasing Proof of Reserves coverage to 24 verifiable assets.

Bitget's focus on institutional trading will be a major priority as the platform enters its ninth year. As of Q2 2026, institutional client net assets had grown 45% compared with the end of 2025, while core active market makers increased from 90 to 248 firms.
