VICTORIA, Seychelles, January 14, 2026 (Globe Newswire) — Bitget, the world’s largest universal exchange (UEX), announced its annual review covering the expansion of the Universal Exchange (UEX) model across cryptocurrencies, on-chain markets, and tokenized traditional assets under a single unified trading experience in 2025.
According to CoinGlass’ 2025 Crypto Derivatives Market Annual Report, BitGet ranked fourth in derivatives trading volume in 2025, with total trading volume of $8.17 trillion and average daily trading volume of $25.2 billion. In our Bitget review, we attribute this performance to deeper liquidity conditions and a wider mix of participants. According to internal data shared in the review, the share of institutional spot trading volume rose from 39.4% in January to 82% by December 2025, while the share of institutional market makers in futures trading volume also increased from 3% to 60% over the same period.
This review also detailed how UEX has expanded beyond centralized markets. Launched in April 2025, Bitget Onchain had cumulative trading volume of over $2.4 billion by year-end, backed by multi-chain access across major networks and on-chain tools designed to transform market signals into actionable opportunities. In parallel, tokenized finance has emerged as a major growth area. The cumulative trading volume of Bitget’s tokenized stock futures exceeded $15 billion in 2025, and the public launch of TradFi markets, including stocks, indexes, commodities, and FX, resulted in daily trading volume of over $2 billion shortly after launch.
Tokenized stocks gained momentum through consolidation with RWA issuers including Ondo Finance. Bitget and Bitget Wallet now enable trading of over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs via Ondo Finance for eligible users outside the US. In December 2025, Bitget captured a 73% market share of trading activity for Ondo tokenized equity tokens, with spot trading volume for these assets exceeding $88 million within a week.
In product expansion, the review highlighted AI and adoption across consumer payments. GetAgent reached over 500,000 users in 2025 and facilitated 2 million conversations focused on portfolio context and strategic guidance. Bitget Wallet Card spending grew 28x year over year in over 50 markets, and Stablecoin Earn Plus reached $80 million in TVL within a month, contributing to 10x expansion of Earn products.
“Our 2025 progress is a track record of what happens when you have access to global markets in one place. In 2026, Bitget is focused on UEX, AI, and compliance. Deeper liquidity and 24/7 access Expanding TradFi access with 24/7 TradFi, keeping GetAgent competitive in the industry, and expanding licenses with stronger regulatory dialogue,” said Gracie Chen, CEO of Bitget.
Looking ahead, this review positions 2026 around expanding compliant access to tokenization markets, advancing AI-driven execution workflows, and expanding UEX as an integration layer for trading, payments, and on-chain participation across various asset classes.
