Bitget has released its 2025 annual review, highlighting a significant transition toward a “Universal Exchange” (UEX) model. The report details the platform’s efforts to expand across crypto, onchain markets, and tokenized traditional assets under a single, unified trading experience.
Institutional Adoption and Market Position
According to the 2025 Crypto Derivatives Market Annual Report by CoinGlass, Bitget ranked fourth in 2025 by derivatives trading volume. The exchange recorded a total volume of $8.17 trillion for the year, averaging roughly $25.20 billion in daily trades.
A defining trend in the report is the rise of institutional players, with Bitget’s internal data revealing a broadening mix of participants. Institutional share of spot trading grew from 39.4% in January to 82% by December, while institutional market makers in the futures market saw their share of volume rise from 3% to 60% over the same twelve-month period.
The Rise of Tokenized Traditional Assets
A central pillar of the 2025 strategy was the expansion into Real-World Assets (RWAs) and tokenized equities. Following a partnership with RWA issuer Ondo Finance, the platform enabled eligible users outside the U.S. to trade over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs.
By December 2025, these markets saw significant traction as Bitget captured 73% market share of trading activity in Ondo tokenized stock tokens. Cumulative trading for tokenized stock futures exceeded $15 billion, while new TradFi offerings—including stocks, indices, commodities, and FX—surpassed $2 billion in daily volume shortly after their launch.
Ecosystem Expansion: Onchain and AI Tools
In product expansion, the review highlighted adoption across AI and consumer payments. GetAgent reached 500,000+ users in 2025 and facilitated 2 million conversations focused on portfolio context and strategy guidance.
Bitget Wallet Card spending increased 28× year-on-year across more than 50 markets, while Stablecoin Earn Plus reached $80 million in TVL within one month and contributed to a tenfold expansion in Earn products.
Strategic Outlook for 2026
Looking toward the next year, Bitget leadership emphasized a focus on regulatory compliance and technical refinement.
CEO Gracy Chen stated “In 2026, Bitget’s focus is UEX, AI, and compliance: expanding TradFi access with deeper liquidity and 24/7 TradFi, maintaining GetAgent’s competitive edge in the industry, and scaling licenses with stronger regulatory dialogue”. The firm intends to position its UEX model as a unified layer for trading, payments, and onchain participation across various asset classes.
