Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has closed 2025 with a year marked by strong trading activity, expanding global reach, and institutional participation. The company also achieved meaningful progress towards its long-term goal of unifying centralized, decentralized, and traditional financial markets within a single trading platform.
Throughout 2025, Bitget recorded approximately $8.17 trillion in annual derivatives trading volume, placing it among the top four centralized exchanges globally. Average monthly derivatives volume reached $680.3 billion, while Bitget’s total daily trading volume across spot, derivatives, and on-chain products approached $18 billion by year-end. The platform’s global user base remained above 120 million users, reflecting sustained engagement across market cycles and regions.
Trading activity on the platform continued to be driven primarily by derivatives and spot markets, with institutional participation becoming a defining growth factor. The share of institutional spot trading volume increased from 39% in January to 82% by December, while on the futures trading side of things, a growth from 3% to 60% could be observed over the same time period. These shifts reflect increasing professional participation, deeper liquidity, and tighter spreads across the platform.
By year-end, user confidence was further reflected in Bitget’s reserve metrics. The exchange maintained a 100%+ Proof-of-Reserves system, while its Protection Fund reached a high of $741 million in October, providing an additional layer of security during periods of market volatility.
Product expansion also played a key role in 2025. Bitget’s Onchain trading layer, launched in April, generated more than $2.4 billion in cumulative trading volume by the end of the year. Tokenized finance also emerged as a major growth engine, with tokenized stock futures surpassing $17 billion in total volume, while US stock futures alone exceeded $5 billion, driven by demand for names such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA.
At the same time, following the public launch of Bitget TradFi, which enables trading of equities, commodities, indices, and FX in USDT, daily TradFi trading volumes on the platforms surpassed $2 billion within days.
A defining trend of 2025 was the growing overlap between crypto and traditional markets. In December alone, over $88 million in tokenized stocks were traded in a single week, during which Bitget captured 73% of the market share for tokenized equities issued by its partner Ondo Finance. These figures clearly show that users increasingly treat tokenized assets as real-time trading instruments. And it also underlines the platform’s role in bridging digital assets with more traditional financial instruments.
Beyond trading metrics, Bitget continued to strengthen its infrastructure, AI tools, and user experience. Its AI assistant GetAgent surpassed 500,000 users and facilitated more than 2 million conversations, providing portfolio guidance, strategy generation, and market analysis across different asset classes. Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet saw greater expansion into everyday finance, with card spending demonstrating a massive 28× year-on-year across 50+ markets.
