Bitget has officially launched a private beta for its new Bitget TradFi platform, aimed at providing crypto users with direct access to a diverse range of financial products, including gold, forex, metals, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs. This initiative is part of the company’s strategy to leverage the expanding market opportunities in the finance sector.
The exchange explained that users can engage in trading these selected markets using USDT as margin. Initially, selected users will have the opportunity to test the platform with limited access, laying the groundwork for broader participation in the future.
Acknowledging the growing addressable market, Bitget cited a recent report from the Bank of International Settlements, indicating that global FX turnover has reached approximately $9.6 trillion per day—a 30% increase since 2022. The report also highlights that OTC interest-rate and FX derivatives trade in trillions daily, contributing to more than $700 trillion in notional outstanding. The financial institution pointed out that retail access is increasingly facilitated through CFDs (Contracts for Difference).
The global CFD broker market is projected to generate around $5.6 billion in revenue this year, with expectations of nearly doubling by 2035. Through the Bitget TradFi platform, the exchange positions itself to tap into this growing sector, effectively integrating it with digital assets.
With this new feature, existing users can now trade major FX pairs, gold, and other mainstream CFD products from their current platform that also supports spot, futures, copy trading, and tokenized stocks. One of the standout benefits is the capability to settle all positions in USDT, eliminating the need for separate broker accounts, local bank wires, or currency conversions.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized the significance of this transition in wealth management. She remarked on the historic nature of integrating assets that were once exclusive to certain niche markets—crypto, stocks, gold, forex, and commodities—under a single system.
The platform combines deep institutional liquidity, tight spreads, and leverage of up to 500x. Furthermore, it operates within a framework regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, ensuring a trusted environment for users.
Bitget also stated that the fee structure for TradFi is highly competitive, with rates starting as low as $0.09 per lot. VIP users will benefit from some of the most favorable trading conditions available in the industry.
The launch of the Bitget TradFi platform builds on the company’s strong track record of integrating traditional finance with crypto. Earlier this year, Bitget’s tokenized U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, highlighting the demand for continuous, USDT-settled exposure to traditional assets.
By extending its model from equity derivatives into the broader FX and CFD universe, Bitget believes the initiative allows users to move capital seamlessly between cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, and macro markets within a single interface. The firm is committed to advancing its vision of making global markets more accessible, capital-efficient, and borderless for individuals across the globe.
