Bitget, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially opened its Traditional Finance (TradFi) trading suite to its user base. The move follows a high-demand private beta period that signalled a shift in trader appetite for a unified “Universal Exchange” (UEX) model.
The public launch comes on the heels of a December beta phase that saw over 80,000 users join a waitlist to trade assets beyond the crypto sphere.
According to company data, the testing phase exceeded internal expectations, with the XAU/USD (Gold) pair alone recording more than $100 million in single-day trading volume.
With the full rollout, Bitget users can now access 79 different instruments, including precious metals, forex, indices, and commodities. Crucially for crypto-native investors, all trades are settled in USDT and managed through existing Bitget accounts, removing the friction of moving funds between different brokerage platforms.
The expansion is a cornerstone of Bitget’s “UEX” strategy, which aims to dissolve the silos between digital and traditional asset classes. By integrating macro assets like gold and foreign exchange into a crypto ecosystem, the platform is betting on a future where traders manage risk across all markets simultaneously.
“This launch reinforces our vision where trading is no longer segmented by asset class,” said Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Bitget.
“By bringing gold, forex, and commodities into the same ecosystem as crypto, Bitget is positioning itself for how modern traders actually think about risk and diversification,” she said.
She said the public version of the product includes refinements to liquidity, spreads, and leverage options based on real-world feedback from the 80,000 beta participants.
“Traders want the freedom to move between crypto and traditional markets as conditions change. TradFi going public is about giving them that accessibility in one place, without friction,” Chen added.
