Bitget has announced the launch of a private beta for Bitget TradFi, a new cross-market feature that gives cryptocurrency users direct access to forex, metals, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs using USDT as margin. The platform said selected users would have early access to test and evaluate the service under limited conditions before a wider rollout.
Bitget opens access to traditional markets
According to Bitget’s official statement, this new product allows existing platform users to trade major FX pairs, gold, and other mainstream CFD products on the same interface they already use for spot, futures, copy trading, and tokenized stock tokens. All positions are margined and settled in USDT, eliminating the need for separate brokerage accounts, local bank wires, or fiat currency conversions.
Under the supervision of the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, the new product integrates deep institutional liquidity, tight spreads, and leverage of up to 500x. Trading fees start as low as $0.09 per lot, with additional benefits for VIP users.
Feature directly connects digital assets with traditional financial instruments, turning one platform into a multi-asset gateway.
Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget, said that this was a big step forward for unified market access.
“The shift in wealth management is happening now, assets that were previously only available on certain niche markets are now on Bitget. This is historic; crypto, stocks, gold, forex and commodities now coexist under a single system. This is what an universal exchange merging wealth management under a roof looks like, it's now present day finance," she said in the company’s press release.
Expanding on a growing market opportunity
Bitget said the addressable market for its new TradFi feature is growing rapidly. Data from the Bank for International Settlements shows that global foreign exchange turnover reached about $9.6 trillion per day, which reflects nearly a 30% increase since 2022. The broader derivatives market, including OTC interest-rate and FX contracts, sees trillions of dollars traded daily and represents over $700 trillion in notional value outstanding.
Retail participation in these products often occurs through contracts for difference (CFDs), and the global CFD broker market is expected to grow to $5.6 billion in annual revenues for 2025, which could nearly double by 2035, according to the WGR database. The introduction of its TradFi platform positions it to capture part of this expanding segment by merging it with its digital asset infrastructure.
In a parallel development earlier this year, Bitget’s tokenized U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, a sign of the growing appetite for 24/7 stablecoin-settled exposure to traditional assets. Bitget TradFi extends this approach into the FX and CFDs arena, enabling users to transition capital seamlessly between crypto, equities, and macro markets within a unified system.
Bitget strengthens its universal exchange vision
The new TradFi feature advances Bitget’s long-term UEX strategy to create a single platform where users can access and manage all forms of global assets, from crypto tokens to traditional markets. The company said this model makes market participation more accessible, efficient, and borderless.
The feature follows a string of initiatives reflecting Bitget’s ambition to merge blockchain technology with real-world asset investment. In 2025, Bitget also integrated with Ondo Finance to enable access to on-chain tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, backed by regulated custodians, with a minimum investment of just one dollar.
Bitget emphasized that its ecosystem aims to simplify participation in global finance for millions of users. The exchange currently serves over 120 million registered users in more than 100 countries, offering access to cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets on one platform. The company combines centralized trading features with Bitget Wallet, a decentralized finance app that supports trading and payments across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain networks.
Bitget has also deepened its global presence through strategic partnerships. It is the Official Crypto Partner of LaLiga across Eastern, Southeast Asian, and Latin American regions and collaborates with UNICEF to support blockchain education programs aimed at reaching 1.1 million learners by 2027. Additionally, Bitget serves as the exclusive crypto exchange partner of MotoGP™.
By combining institutional-level trading infrastructure with retail access, Bitget said it aims to bridge the gap between digital and traditional markets, giving users simplified access to a complete suite of asset classes from a single account.
