Bitget, recognized as the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has released an extensive year-in-review detailing its accomplishments and expansion in 2025. The report highlights significant strides made within the realms of cryptocurrency, onchain markets, and tokenized traditional assets, all unified under a single trading interface.
Significantly, the 2025 Crypto Derivatives Market Annual Report by CoinGlass ranked Bitget fourth in terms of derivatives trading volume. The platform recorded an impressive total of $8.17 trillion in trading activity and maintained an average daily volume of $25.20 billion throughout the year. This remarkable performance is attributed to enhanced liquidity conditions and a diverse mix of market participants. Notably, internal data from Bitget indicates a substantial increase in institutional participation, with the share of institutional spot trading volume soaring from 39.4% in January to an astonishing 82% by December. Additionally, the share of institutional market makers in futures volume rose dramatically from 3% to 60% during the same period.
The review elaborates on Bitget’s efforts to expand beyond traditional centralized markets. The launch of Bitget Onchain in April 2025 was a pivotal moment, with the platform achieving over $2.4 billion in cumulative trading volume by year-end. This success was bolstered by multichain access to major networks and innovative onchain tools that effectively translated market signals into actionable trading opportunities.
Another significant milestone was the rise of tokenized finance as a key growth sector. Bitget saw its cumulative trading volume for tokenized stock futures exceed $15 billion in 2025. The introduction of traditional finance (TradFi) markets, encompassing stocks, indices, commodities, and foreign exchange, led to daily trading volumes surpassing $2 billion shortly after launch. The integration of tokenized equities with real-world asset issuers, such as Ondo Finance, further fueled this momentum. By December 2025, Bitget commanded a staggering 73% market share in trading activity for Ondo tokenized stock tokens, with spot trading volumes exceeding $88 million in just one week.
Amid these achievements, Bitget also showcased its product expansion, particularly in the fields of artificial intelligence and consumer payments. The GetAgent AI tool gained traction with over 500,000 users, facilitating roughly 2 million conversations focused on portfolio management and strategic guidance. Furthermore, the Bitget Wallet Card experienced a remarkable 28-fold increase in spending year-on-year across over 50 markets. The launch of Stablecoin Earn Plus yielded significant results, achieving $80 million in total value locked (TVL) within a month, contributing to a tenfold growth in Earn products.
Reflecting on this year of progress, CEO Gracy Chen stated, “Our 2025 progress is a track record of what happens when global markets can be accessed in one place.” Looking ahead to 2026, Bitget aims to intensify its focus on UEX, artificial intelligence, and compliance. Plans include expanding TradFi access with improved liquidity and continuous trading availability, ensuring GetAgent maintains a competitive edge, and strengthening regulatory dialogue to scale licenses.
The review positions 2026 as a pivotal year for Bitget, emphasizing the need to enhance compliant access to tokenized markets, advance AI-driven execution workflows, and scale UEX as an integrated layer for trading, payments, and onchain participation across a diverse array of asset classes.
