Bitget has released its August 2026 transparency report, outlining new developments across tokenized stocks, traditional finance products, institutional trading infrastructure, Bitget Wallet, and reserve disclosures. The report cites third-party research from DeFiLlama, CryptoRank, and TokenInsight, which said Bitget ranked strongly in several liquidity metrics tied to tokenized equities and stock perpetuals. DeFiLlama said Bitget posted the lowest median bid-ask spread among five tokenized stock markets it assessed, at 0.83 basis points, while also showing the deepest liquidity at the best bid and ask levels. The company also said rToken trading remained active in August, with rNVDA recording $38.5 million in daily volume on Aug. 26, involving more than 4,200 users and 112,800 trades. Bitget added that it published its 45th Proof of Reserves report during the month, with an overall reserve ratio of 122%.

Bitget appeared at FutureMode 2026 in Taipei as a gold sponsor, using the Sept. 4-6 event to showcase both product and brand strategy across digital finance. The company said it took part in three industry panels covering stablecoins in Asia, global virtual-asset regulation, VASP policy developments, real-world asset tokenization and AI-native crypto products. Bitget Wallet APAC lead Will Wu joined a session on stablecoin adoption in payments, remittances and digital dollar use cases, while Bitget CEO Gracy Chen held a fireside chat with Blocktrend founder Hsu Ming-En on regulation and RWA trends. Marketing manager Yoaka joined a separate panel focused on AI-native crypto products. On the exhibition floor, Bitget centered its on-site experience around rToken, its tokenized U.S. equities product. Activities included a decibel challenge, a U.S. stock-themed vending machine, blind cards and prize draws tied to rToken linked to names such as NVDA, MU and TSM. The company also set up two off-site "liquidity supply stations" offering 300 egg cakes and 500 drinks. Outside the expo, Bitget hosted a Taipei VIP and Institutional Private Dinner with Gracy for clients, institutions and partners. The company also restated platform figures, including more than 125 million users for Bitget and more than 100 million users for Bitget Wallet.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen revealed in a CoinDesk interview that the exchange is in talks with Wall Street giants including BlackRock for Asian crypto product distribution. The talks focus on leveraging Bitget's 125 million registered users as a distribution channel for traditional financial products. Asia's blockchain transaction volume surged 69% YoY, the highest globally, according to OECD data. BlackRock estimates Asian household wealth at $108 trillion, and a 1% allocation to crypto could bring $2 trillion inflows. BlackRock is already building its Asian digital asset presence, posting a new digital asset role in Singapore in December 2025. Bitget data shows 52% of its users are dual-asset holders, holding both crypto and traditional stocks. Coinbase UK CEO Keith Grose noted that Coinbase already provides custody for BlackRock's US Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. If the Bitget-BlackRock deal materializes, exchanges could evolve from trading platforms to financial product distribution endpoints. Key factors include Taiwan's VASP regulatory status and the potential for tokenized ETFs to reach retail investors directly through crypto exchanges.

Christopher Waller said Thursday he would be inclined to support holding rates steady if inflation data keeps improving, and crypto markets reacted fast. Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000 and briefly topped $81,100, while the Dow added 453 points and more than 119,000 traders were liquidated for over $500 million. Spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $731 million, their largest net inflow since January, and ether funds added $141 million. Altcoins moved sharply higher too, with XRP up 7.8%, BNB and Solana each rising about 5%, Ether gaining 4.7% to $2,497 and Zcash jumping 18% to a new all-time high above $1,000. Riskier names were even wilder: PONS surged 56%, Lighter gained 16.8%, Ethena rose 13.6%, Arbitrum added 12% and SPX6900 climbed 13.2%. The report also noted fresh product and policy developments, including Polymarket Perps, Coinbase’s SEC filings for single-stock perpetual futures, Standard Chartered’s institutional spot crypto trading in Dubai, and a SoFi-Kraken deal linking dollar settlement and crypto order flow.

Bitget said its 2026 Crypto Experience Month has concluded after running four in-person events in August alongside a global online campaign, with total participation topping 500 people. The program centered on the theme "Step into the Real World" and focused on real-world assets, financial literacy, and the growing overlap between traditional finance and Web3. According to the company, the initiative expands its Blockchain4Youth program beyond introductory blockchain education into broader financial market topics tied to digital assets. Participants were introduced to stocks, gold, commodities, and other real-world assets, with sessions explaining how tokenization can connect those assets to blockchain networks. The program also included career-focused exchanges with industry professionals, interactive simulations, quizzes, and Learning Hub activities. Bitget also ran an online campaign, #MatchTheRealWorld, where users matched familiar real-world assets such as consumer brands and gold with corresponding rToken tickers on the Bitget platform. In parallel, the company said the second semester of the Blockchain4Youth Learning Hub included a TradFi 101 course covering stocks, commodities, and ETFs. The article also included company background on Bitget and Bitget Wallet, including user figures, product scope, and partnership disclosures.

Bitget said it is in discussions with major Wall Street firms, including BlackRock, around distribution in Asia. Gracy Chen, the exchange’s CEO, identified the world’s largest asset manager as one example of the type of firm looking to widen distribution of tokenized ETFs in the region. The available source material does not include additional terms, timing, or deal structure, and no formal agreement was disclosed in the summary. The report points only to ongoing talks tied to regional distribution efforts for tokenized exchange-traded fund products.

Bitget said it has launched AI Smart Grid on GetAgent Playbook, adding an automated multi-asset trading strategy designed for range-bound crypto markets. The feature uses AI to scan assets, set grid parameters, monitor market conditions, and rotate across different cryptocurrencies as conditions change. Users only need to choose a trading type, strategy style, and investment amount, while GetAgent handles the remaining setup and monitoring tasks. According to Bitget, the strategy reassesses market conditions every four hours, adjusts portfolio exposure as needed, and turns specific grids on or off based on those changes. The system also runs a risk check every 15 minutes during operation. CEO Gracy Chen said AI can help narrow part of the gap between professional traders and retail users by assisting with market interpretation, strategy building, and trade execution. Bitget said the product builds on GetAgent Playbook, which launched in June as an AI strategy library covering crypto, futures, and stock screening use cases. The company previously said more than 1 million users had completed AI-driven trades through GetAgent and GetClaw, with cumulative volume above $1.2 billion. Bitget also used the announcement to highlight its broader agent-native trading push and provided updated background on its exchange, wallet, partnerships, and user protection fund.

Bitget will attend Future Mode 2026 in Taipei as a Gold Sponsor from Sept. 4 to 6. CEO Gracy Chen will take part in a fireside chat on global regulation, VASP policy and real-world asset trends. The booth will showcase the UEX vision and tokenized US stocks via rToken, with a giant vending machine and limited giveaways. A "Liquidity Supply Station" near the venue will offer 300 servings of egg pancakes and 500 drinks over three days.
