Bitget used its eighth anniversary to outline how its Universal Exchange, or UEX, strategy is expanding beyond crypto into a broader trading setup that includes traditional financial products and institutional services. The company said that during peak trading periods, non-crypto assets accounted for 40% of total platform volume, while daily volume in TradFi perpetuals and contracts for difference each topped $10 billion. It also highlighted the rollout of stock perpetuals, U.S. stock options and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts, alongside growth in its tokenized stock product rToken.

It also adds tools for tracking stablecoin supply changes, exchange market share across spot, derivatives, prediction markets, and popular stocks, as well as a combined hot-assets list covering both crypto-native and TradFi-linked assets.

Binance adds 11 US-listed ETFs to Binance Earn wealth management lineup

Binance has rolled out a new wealth management service that gives users access to 11 US-listed exchange-traded funds focused on short-term US Treasurys and investment-grade bonds. The products are offered through Binance Earn and are grouped into cash management, steady income and yield enhancement categories based on investment horizons ranging from under six months to more than one year. Users can browse the available ETFs and place orders within Binance Earn, while purchases are handled through Binance’s stock trading service. Binance said users receive the economic benefits tied to the shares, including price moves and cash distributions. The exchange also drew a distinction between this setup and tokenized stocks, saying customers are buying actual ETF shares.
