Bitget, recognized as the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), is celebrating its seventh anniversary under the theme #GearUpTo7, which embodies its vision for a new era of integrated finance. This milestone marks not just an anniversary but also the advent of the Universal Exchange concept, originally introduced by Bitget CEO Gracy Chen in a communication with the community.
The UEX model aims to create a holistic ecosystem designed to resolve the longstanding trade-offs faced by exchanges regarding user experience, asset variety, and security. By integrating a diverse array of centralized and decentralized services, AI tools, and stringent security practices, Bitget claims to be the first platform to achieve this ambitious transformation.
Recent months have seen significant advancements in Bitget’s offerings. The platform’s foray into Onchain services has led to full compatibility with Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Base, and Solana, and partnerships with firms like xStocks and Ondo have broadened access to tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The introduction of Stock Index Perpetual Futures allows traditional financial instruments such as AAPL and NVDA to be traded within the crypto derivatives space. Gracy envisions that Bitget will eventually support all tradable assets, extending beyond cryptocurrencies to include stocks, ETFs, gold, and foreign exchange.
A notable feature of the UEX model is its integration of artificial intelligence. Bitget employs a proprietary tool named GetAgent, designed to enhance market intelligence and automate execution. This tool provides users with real-time data analysis and custom strategies while a suite of automated trading bots ensures that users can seize opportunities at any moment, effectively minimizing the lag between analysis and action.
Gracy Chen emphasized that Bitget’s growth over the last seven years has been grounded in a deliberate strategy aimed at building an advanced infrastructure tailored to the needs of traders, investors, and institutions. He highlighted the importance of accessibility and the seamless integration of emerging financial services into everyday activities. As the pioneering UEX, Bitget intends to lead this transition with cutting-edge products and services that address the evolving demands of users globally.
Security remains a major focus for the platform, which aims to offer robust protections by combining on-chain and off-chain security measures. UEX will include intelligent tools that monitor for potential risks, such as token concentration or rug-pull threats, backed by Bitget’s substantial User Protection Fund, currently valued at over $700 million.
Bitget has remained steadfast in its growth strategy, prioritizing sustainable progress rather than hasty expansion. The platform has successfully broadened its market presence in emerging regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, facilitated by localized community programs, multilingual support, and offline initiatives.
With a commitment to regulatory compliance, Bitget has secured licenses in various jurisdictions, including Italy, Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, El Salvador, Argentina, Bulgaria, and Georgia. Its compliance team, composed of over 70 specialists, collaborates closely with regulators to foster trust and establish sustainable frameworks in the cryptocurrency sector.
Throughout September, Bitget marks its seventh anniversary with the “Gear Up to 7” campaign, highlighting the launch of the Universal Exchange era. Celebratory events include the #GearUpTo7 Sprint Challenge, which features a prize pool of $400,000 USDT, alongside a Bitget-branded MotoGP racing motorcycle, parades in multiple cities, and a themed anthem from crypto influencer Lil Bubble. The festivities will culminate in the Smart Awards, which acknowledge exceptional traders vital to Bitget’s journey and success in the crypto landscape.
As Bitget celebrates its seven-year journey, it remains committed to long-term initiatives that seamlessly connect users, assets, and markets while establishing new benchmarks for security, accessibility, and innovation within the cryptocurrency industry and beyond. The platform’s strategic alliances, community-driven efforts, and consistent business growth have played a crucial role in its global outreach, which includes collaborations with notable entities like Messi, Juventus FC, MotoGP, and LaLiga. Furthermore, educational initiatives such as Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her have empowered over 15,000 young people, promoting inclusivity through partnerships with more than 60 universities worldwide. Bitget’s collaboration with UNICEF, which aims to educate 1 million individuals about blockchain by 2027, has set a precedent that remains unmatched in the Web3 domain.
