Bitget, a Universal Exchange (UEX), has unveiled a major structural upgrade to its interface, elevating traditional financial (TradFi) assets—including stocks, commodities, and forex—into a standalone product category alongside cryptocurrency.
This update reflects a broader industry shift as crypto infrastructure increasingly matures to support global financial markets.
While many exchanges have begun adding equities and precious metals, most treat them as secondary “add-ons” within a crypto-centric environment. Bitget’s update takes a more integrated approach, restructuring the platform to give TradFi products equal prominence.
The new design separates crypto and traditional trading into distinct core navigation sections, offering dedicated interfaces tailored to the specific risk profiles and behaviors of each market.
The move addresses the massive scale of the convergence between digital and legacy assets. While the crypto market sits at approximately $2.4 trillion, traditional financial markets represent nearly $900 trillion. As real-world asset (RWA) tokenization matures, a significant portion of this activity is expected to migrate to blockchain-based settlement layers.
“Crypto infrastructure is becoming the settlement layer for global finance. The future of exchanges won’t be defined by whether they offer crypto or traditional assets, but by how effectively they integrate both. We are building an ecosystem where they operate as equal components,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

This structural shift follows a year of aggressive expansion for Bitget. After integrating on-chain trading and tokenized stock perpetuals, the exchange launched Contracts for Difference (CFD) trading in late 2025, allowing users to access global markets using stablecoin-based settlement.
Through partnerships with providers like Ondo, Bitget now offers access to over 200 tokenized assets. Under the new UI, crypto spot and derivatives are consolidated under a single “Trade” tab, while CFDs, stock perpetuals, and tokenized equities reside in a dedicated “TradFi” tab in the main navigation.
According to Bitget, the change reflects the reality of the modern investor, who increasingly manages portfolios across multiple asset classes rather than identifying strictly as a “crypto” or “stock” trader. This aligns with the firm’s Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy, aiming to unify crypto-native assets and tokenized securities within one infrastructure.
Industry projections suggest that by 2030, between 20% and 40% of global equity trading could route through crypto-native infrastructure. Bitget is positioning its UEX framework to lead this transition.
“As markets evolve, the distinction between crypto and TradFi becomes less meaningful to the user. The next phase of infrastructure belongs to platforms where assets from both worlds coexist seamlessly,” Chen added.
