User Portfolio Diversification: Cross-Asset Trading Becomes Mainstream
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen's mid-year 2026 open letter reveals a significant shift in platform user behavior from single crypto exposure to diversified portfolios. Data shows non-crypto asset trading volume reached nearly 40% of Bitget's total volume, while CFD (Contracts for Difference) daily trading exceeded $10 billion. More notably, 52% of users simultaneously hold stocks and cryptocurrencies, and 35% hold precious metals such as gold, indicating that cross-asset holdings have become a mainstream trading habit.
AI Trading Tools Adoption Surpasses 50%, User Base Exceeds One Million
As AI technology deepens into execution layers, 51% of Bitget users have already employed AI-driven trading tools in the first half of 2026, bringing the total number of AI trading users on the platform to over one million. Gracy Chen noted that AI tools are lowering barriers for average investors, enabling more efficient and rational strategy execution.
Four Core Values of the Universal Exchange: Asset Efficiency, Native Crypto Experience, Financial Equality, Burden Reduction
Gracy Chen emphasized that Bitget's goal is not to build an 'asset supermarket' but to reshape the underlying logic of global market participation around four key values: asset efficiency, crypto-native experience, financial equality, and reducing user burden. On the execution front, Bitget has deployed a dual-track approach combining tokenized stocks and direct stock connectivity, while supporting 7×24 trading for multiple asset classes to break traditional finance's time zone and geographical barriers.
Data Insights and Industry Implications
Bitget's data reflects a rapidly maturing user base on crypto trading platforms. Investors are no longer satisfied with single-crypto exposure but seek cross-asset portfolios for risk mitigation. The $10 billion daily CFD volume signals strong demand for derivatives. Meanwhile, AI tool adoption exceeding 50% marks a transition from AI as a supplementary analysis tool to a core execution layer. Bitget's universal exchange strategy may prompt more platforms to follow suit with multi-asset, round-the-clock, and AI-enhanced service models.
