Bitget Marks Eighth Anniversary with Universal Exchange Growth

Bitget is celebrating its eighth anniversary under the theme '8uilt for Perfect Trades', marking eight years of trading innovation as it enters a new phase of growth across crypto, traditional markets, and institutional trading.

The platform has accelerated its Universal Exchange strategy, bringing a wider range of global markets into one trading platform. At its peak, non-crypto assets accounted for 40% of total trading volume, while both TradFi perpetual contracts and CFDs have surpassed $10 billion in daily trading volume.

Over the past year, Bitget launched stock perpetual contracts, US stock options, and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. The rToken has surpassed $100 million in AUM within five weeks and has now recorded more than 3 million cumulative transactions. One in four new Bitget users now begin their trading journey with rToken.

Bitget's AI trading capabilities have also expanded with the launch of its autonomous trading agent, AI Playbook. CEO Gracy Chen stated that 'Eight years in crypto feels a lot longer than eight years anywhere else... We've lived through multiple cycles, watched entire narratives come and go, and seen the market grow up very quickly.'

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