In a mid-2026 open letter, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen disclosed a series of striking user behavior metrics that reflect a fundamental shift in how investors participate in global markets. The data underscores a trend toward cross-asset portfolios and AI-assisted trading, positioning Bitget as a frontrunner in the race to bridge crypto and traditional finance.
Cross-Asset Holding Becomes Mainstream
The letter reveals that the peak trading volume of non-crypto assets approached 40% of Bitget’s total volume, while daily CFD (Contract for Difference) volume surpassed $10 billion. More notably, 52% of users now hold both stocks and cryptocurrencies, and 35% own precious metals like gold. This indicates that multi-asset allocation is no longer a niche strategy but the dominant habit among Bitget’s user base. Gracy Chen interprets this as a structural shift: investors are moving from single-asset speculation to holistic asset efficiency optimization.
AI Trading Tool Adoption Surpasses 51%
As AI tools penetrate deeper into execution layers, 51% of Bitget users are now employing AI-driven trading tools, with the platform’s AI trading user base exceeding 1 million. AI plays a growing role in price prediction, strategy generation, and risk control execution. Gracy Chen notes that AI not only boosts individual decision-making efficiency but also greatly expands access to sophisticated financial instruments, laying the technical foundation for “financial equity.”
Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) Vision
Gracy Chen stresses that Bitget’s core goal is not to build a simple “asset supermarket,” but to reshape the underlying logic of user participation in global markets based on four core values: asset efficiency, crypto-native experience, financial equity, and reduced burden. In terms of execution, Bitget has accelerated its push through a dual-track approach of tokenized US stocks (equity tokens) and direct US stock connectivity. It also supports 7×24 trading for multiple asset classes, breaking traditional time-zone and geographic restrictions. This strategy combines crypto-native settlement efficiency with the liquidity of traditional assets, aiming to create a truly open, high-speed global trading ecosystem.
