Bitget Expands Beyond Crypto with TradFi Trading Launch


Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange, has expanded its platform beyond digital assets with the public launch of its traditional finance trading suite, allowing users to trade assets such as gold, forex, indices and commodities alongside cryptocurrencies.

The move follows a private beta phase that recorded strong user demand and trading activity. Bitget said more than 80,000 users joined the waitlist during the beta period, signalling a growing appetite for a single platform that combines crypto and traditional financial markets.

Market activity during the test phase exceeded expectations, with XAU/USD (gold) recording over $100m in single-day trading volume, one of the highest volumes seen during the beta. The strong performance helped shape the final product ahead of its full public release.

With the public launch, Bitget TradFi now offers access to 79 trading instruments covering metals, forex, indices and commodities.

All trades are settled in USDT and can be executed directly from existing Bitget accounts, eliminating the need for users to move funds across multiple platforms.

According to Bitget, the TradFi suite was designed to feel familiar to crypto-native traders while enabling them to deploy macro-driven strategies and diversify risk within a unified trading environment.

Commenting on the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of Bitget, Gracy Chen, said the rollout aligns with the company’s Universal Exchange vision.

“This launch reinforces Bitget’s UEX vision, where trading is no longer segmented by asset class,” Chen said. “By bringing gold, forex and commodities into the same ecosystem as crypto, Bitget is positioning itself around how modern traders think about risk, diversification and opportunity.”

She noted that features such as liquidity depth, tight spreads and flexible leverage were refined during the beta phase based on user feedback, ensuring the product is ready to scale.

“Traders want the freedom to move between crypto and traditional markets as conditions change,” she said. “Making TradFi publicly available is about giving them that access in one place, without friction.”

Bitget said the launch reflects a broader shift in the evolution of digital asset exchanges, which are increasingly positioning themselves not just as crypto trading venues but as gateways to global financial markets under a single, integrated trading experience.

With TradFi trading now fully live, the company said it will continue to expand its product offering in line with its strategy of unifying multiple asset classes on one platform.
