Bitget2026-09-19 04:02:52Bitget CLO letter ties 8th anniversary to reserves, security controls and cross-market complianceBitget used its eighth anniversary to outline how the exchange says its responsibilities have expanded alongside its business. In an open letter from its chief legal officer, the company said it has grown from a crypto derivatives venue into what it calls a Universal Exchange, now serving more than 125 million users and expanding across crypto, tokenized stocks, commodities and other global markets. The letter frames that growth around three operating priorities: verifiable transparency, layered security and jurisdiction-specific compliance. Bitget said it has published monthly Proof of Reserves data since December 2022, maintaining at least a 1:1 reserve ratio for user assets and offering Merkle Tree-based verification. In September 2026, it released its 46th consecutive reserve report, showing a total reserve ratio of 135%, with the average ratio staying above 120%. The company also said it expanded the number of assets covered by reserve verification from four to 19 this month. The letter also highlighted a $300 million user Protection Fund launched in 2022, which Bitget said had an average valuation of about $382 million in August 2026. It detailed account-level and backend security tools, a market integrity framework introduced earlier this year, regulatory registrations and approvals across multiple jurisdictions, and a new UEX Security Standard being developed with BlockSec.490
Bitget2026-09-18 10:14:35Bitget CLO Hon Ng says responsibility remains the constant as the exchange marks its eighth yearBitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng used the exchange’s eighth anniversary letter to frame the company’s growth around one theme: responsibility. In the letter, Ng said Bitget has grown from a crypto derivatives venue into a broader platform serving more than 125 million users, with expansion under its Universal Exchange, or UEX, vision into asset classes including U.S. stocks, gold and foreign exchange. The letter laid out several areas the company sees as central to that responsibility. Ng said Bitget has published proof-of-reserves data every month since launching the system in December 2022, maintaining at least a 1:1 reserve ratio for user assets and allowing users to verify inclusion through a Merkle Tree mechanism. As of September 2026, the exchange said it had released 46 proof-of-reserves reports, with an overall reserve ratio of 135% and an average ratio above 120%. The coverage has also been expanded from four assets to 19, including XAUT. Ng also pointed to Bitget’s Protection Fund, established in 2022 with an initial size of $300 million and carrying an average valuation of about $382 million in August 2026, alongside account security tools, transaction monitoring, anti-fraud systems, a market order and token responsibility framework, and regulatory registrations, licenses or approvals across multiple jurisdictions.550

Bitget2026-09-14 10:36:28Bitget’s 8th anniversary letter puts institutional business at the center of its next phaseBitget 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 248.880

Gracy said the idea behind UEX was to remove fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones and regions so users could access global quality assets through a single trading venue. In the letter, she said Bitget spent the past year answering skepticism with product launches rather than rhetoric. She 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 company rolled out stock perpetual futures, Pre-IPO products, a cross-asset unified account, rToken and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Gracy also disclosed operating figures tied to that push. Non-crypto assets at peak accounted for 40% of total platform trading volume. Daily trading volume for TradFi contracts and CFDs each surpassed $10 billion, while cumulative rToken trades exceeded 3 million. On institutional expansion, she said Bitget will make that business a core focus.

Bitget2026-09-14 03:04:50Bitget says more than 1,420 teams have joined KCGI 2026 since Sept. 9 launchBitget said its 2026 King’s Cup Global Invitational, or KCGI, has drawn more than 1,420 teams and 50,902 participants since the competition began on Sept. 9.

Bitget2026-09-10 11:15:03Bitget upgrades U.S. equities market data feed with official Nasdaq sourceBitget said it has completed a full upgrade of the market data source used for its U.S. equities products and has formally integrated Nasdaq’s official data feed, making it the first crypto trading platform in the industry to adopt that standard. According to the company, the switch from its previous data model is designed to deliver more accurate and more timely market information, while also improving price stability and continuity during periods of sharp market volatility. To support data quality after the integration, Bitget said it built multiple safeguards on top of the official metadata layer, including data processing, real-time monitoring, quality comparison, simulation testing, and abnormal data filtering. The company added that Nasdaq has long served as a core data service provider in global financial markets and that its standards have been tested in traditional finance over many years. Bitget said the upgrade reflects deeper work on its global asset trading infrastructure as it expands from digital assets into U.S. stocks and other global asset classes.700
