Bitget Opens Traditional Finance Trading to All Users Following Beta Success
Crypto exchange Bitget has officially opened its traditional finance trading suite to all users, following a private beta that attracted over 80,000 waitlist signups and recorded strong trading activity across gold, forex, and global macro assets.
The public launch allows Bitget's user base to trade 79 instruments spanning metals, forex, indices, and commodities, all settled in USDT and accessed directly from existing Bitget accounts. The expansion marks a key step in the exchange's evolution into what it calls a Universal Exchange, combining digital assets with traditional markets on a single platform.
During the December beta phase, Bitget said XAU/USD gold trading recorded over $100 million in single-day volume, representing one of the strongest performances in the test period, according to a company statement released Sunday.
The TradFi suite is designed to allow crypto-native traders to execute macro-driven strategies without switching platforms. All instruments are settled in USDT, eliminating the need for separate fiat accounts or traditional brokerage relationships.
"Traders want the flexibility to choose between assets in a unified ecosystem," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "They 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."
The exchange refined liquidity depth, spreads, and leverage options during the beta based on user feedback. The addition of traditional finance instruments positions Bitget as a comprehensive gateway to global markets rather than purely a crypto venue.
The move reflects broader industry trends as cryptocurrency exchanges expand beyond digital assets to capture traders seeking cross-market diversification and macro hedging strategies within a single interface.
