Bitget grows institutional crypto & tokenised trading
Bitget has reported a sharp rise in institutional trading activity and increased product expansion across derivatives, onchain markets, and tokenised traditional assets during 2025.
The crypto exchange said it ranked fourth globally by derivatives trading volume in 2025, citing CoinGlass' 2025 Crypto Derivatives Market Annual Report. Bitget reported USD $8.17 trillion in total derivatives volume for the year. It reported average daily volume of USD $25.20 billion.
Bitget linked the outcome to changing participant mix and liquidity. The company said its internal data showed institutional spot trading volume share rising from 39.4% in January to 82% by December 2025. It also reported that institutional market makers' share of futures volume increased from 3% to 60% over the same period.
Onchain activity
Bitget also set out activity in its onchain offering. It launched Bitget Onchain in April 2025. The company said the product recorded more than USD $2.4 billion in cumulative trading volume by the end of the year.
Bitget described the service as offering multichain access across major networks. It also pointed to onchain tooling and signal tracking features. The company did not provide a breakdown of volumes by chain or asset type.
Tokenised markets
Tokenised traditional finance products featured heavily in the company's account of 2025. Bitget said cumulative trading volume for tokenised stock futures surpassed USD $15 billion during the year.
Bitget also reported a public rollout of markets linked to traditional assets. It listed stocks, indices, commodities, and foreign exchange. The company said daily trading exceeded USD $2 billion shortly after launch. It did not specify whether the figure covered a single product line or combined activity across the TradFi suite.
Bitget attributed part of the tokenised equities push to integration work with real-world asset issuers, including Ondo Finance. The company said Bitget and Bitget Wallet enabled trading for more than 100 tokenised stocks and ETFs via Ondo Finance for eligible users outside the US.
Bitget reported a concentration of trading activity in late 2025. It said that in December 2025 it captured 73% market share of trading activity in Ondo tokenised stock tokens. It said those assets exceeded USD $88 million in spot trading volume within a single week.
AI and payments
Bitget also highlighted product usage figures related to AI tooling and consumer spending. The company said its GetAgent AI tool reached more than 500,000 users. It said the tool facilitated 2 million conversations regarding portfolio and strategy guidance.
In payments, Bitget said spending on its Bitget Wallet Card increased 28 times year-on-year across more than 50 markets. It also reported that Stablecoin Earn Plus reached USD $80 million in total value locked within one month. Bitget said this contributed to a tenfold expansion in Earn products.
Regulatory focus
Bitget framed its 2026 priorities around its Universal Exchange model, AI, and compliance. It described its Universal Exchange approach as combining crypto markets, onchain markets, and tokenised assets under one trading experience.
"Our 2025 progress is a track record of what happens when global markets can be accessed in one place. In 2026, Bitget's focus is UEX, AI, and compliance: expanding TradFi access with deeper liquidity and 24/7 TradFi, maintaining GetAgent's competitive edge in the industry, and scaling licenses with stronger regulatory dialogue," said Gracy Chen, CEO, Bitget.
Bitget said it expects to expand compliant access to tokenised markets during 2026. It also pointed to AI-driven execution workflows. The company said it intends to scale UEX as a unified layer for trading, payments, and onchain participation across multiple asset classes.
