Bitget marked its eighth anniversary with a public letter from CEO Gracy, who used the occasion to revisit the exchange’s UEX strategy and outline what comes next. She said the plan, introduced a year ago, was met with skepticism at first, and that the team chose to answer those doubts through product launches rather than rhetoric. In the letter, Gracy said UEX was designed to remove fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones and regions, allowing users to trade global quality assets through a one-stop platform. She also described 2025 to 2026 as the first year of multi-asset trading, pointing to a broader move by leading exchanges into traditional finance products. The letter listed several launches over the past year, including stock perpetual futures, Pre-IPO products, a unified cross-asset account, rToken and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Bitget said non-crypto assets at peak accounted for 40% of total platform trading volume, while daily trading volume in TradFi contracts and CFDs both exceeded $10 billion. Gracy added that institutional business will be the company’s core direction in the next stage, with institutional client net assets up 45% by Q2 2026 from Q3 2025, and core active market makers rising from 90 to 248.

Bitget marked its eighth anniversary with a public letter from CEO Gracy, who reviewed the progress of the exchange’s UEX strategy and outlined new targets for multi-asset trading and institutional business.

In the letter, Gracy said Bitget faced skepticism when it introduced its panoramic exchange, or UEX, strategy a year ago. She said the team responded by shipping products. According to Gracy, the strategy was built to address fragmentation across assets, accounts, time and geography, so users could trade global quality assets through a one-stop platform.

Gracy calls 2025 to 2026 the first year of multi-asset trading

Gracy said more leading exchanges are now moving into traditional finance trading, and described 2025 to 2026 as the first year of multi-asset trading.

She wrote that over the past year, Bitget moved from being a follower to becoming a leader in product innovation. The company rolled out stock perpetual futures, Pre-IPO products, a unified cross-asset account, rToken and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts.

Letter includes platform metrics

According to the figures disclosed in the letter, non-crypto assets at peak accounted for 40% of Bitget’s total platform trading volume. Daily trading volume in TradFi contracts and CFDs both exceeded $10 billion, while cumulative rToken trades passed 3 million.

Institutional business set as the next priority

Looking ahead, Gracy said institutional business will become Bitget’s core focus. As of the second quarter of 2026, Bitget’s institutional client net assets had increased 45% from the third quarter of 2025. The number of core active market makers rose from 90 to 248.

She added that the platform will keep improving trade execution, asset security and its service chain for institutional clients.

At the end of the letter, Gracy wrote: “The pursuit of the ultimate trading experience has no finish line, only progress. The era of multi-asset trading has only just begun.”
