Maker orders carry a 110% reward ratio, while taker orders are set at 105%, allowing participants to access negative-fee TradFi trading. HTX also said registered users whose mining amount reaches 10,000 USDT during the campaign can unlock a 10 USDT futures trial bonus.

Bitget CEO Gracy says multi-asset trading era is just beginning in 8th anniversary letter

Bitget marked its eighth anniversary with a public letter from CEO Gracy, who used the occasion to defend the exchange’s Universal Exchange, or UEX, strategy and outline what she sees as the next stage of competition in trading platforms. 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. As of the second quarter of 2026, net assets held by institutional clients were up 45% from the third quarter of 2025, and the number of core active market makers increased from 90 to 248.

MEXC product chief Vivien Lin says CEXs are moving toward a brokerage model, with AI emerging as the next trading gateway

MEXC Product Director Vivien Lin said in an interview that the convergence of traditional finance and crypto has moved beyond narrative and into actual asset and capital connectivity. She said users on crypto platforms can now access stock-linked products more directly, and on MEXC, trading in TradFi products is still driven mainly by existing crypto users. During weaker periods in the crypto market, TradFi trading at times accounted for roughly 30% to 40% of platform volume. Lin also described AI as one of the exchange’s main product priorities. She said MEXC has deployed AI across news, search, strategy generation, and internal workflows, and is testing tools that let users build and backtest quantitative strategies with natural-language prompts. In her view, AI is likely to evolve from an analysis layer into a real trading interface, though MEXC is not yet at the stage of allowing AI to make decisions on behalf of users. On market structure, Lin said growing regulatory divergence is making it harder to run one product stack globally. Exchanges now need modular systems that can be reassembled for different jurisdictions. As CEXs begin to resemble traditional brokerages and asset offerings become more alike, she expects competition to center on fees, shipping speed, product experience, and licenses. She also said DEXs remain underestimated and may continue to serve as the main venue for crypto-native innovation.
