Bitget, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a private beta for its new TradFi trading feature, marking a significant step towards integrating traditional finance with the digital asset world. This innovative feature grants crypto users access to trading forex, commodities, and stock derivatives contracts, using USDt as collateral.
The Bitget TradFi platform aims to provide a seamless experience for users looking to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on opportunities in global markets. With this new feature, Bitget users can trade major fiat currency pairs, gold, and other traditional CFD (Contracts for Difference) products, all from a single interface. All positions are settled in USDT, simplifying the trading process by removing the need for separate broker accounts, local bank transfers, or currency conversions.
The platform offers several advantages, including deep liquidity and low slippage, powered by leading liquidity providers. Users can also manage risk and trade forex/gold with high leverage, up to 500x, tailored to their risk appetite. Transaction fees are competitive, starting as low as $0.09 per lot, which is significantly lower than the cryptocurrency market. Bitget TradFi operates under the regulation of the Financial Services Commission (FSC), ensuring a fair, secure, and stable trading environment.
The launch of Bitget TradFi comes at a time when the global forex market turnover has reached approximately $9.6 trillion per day, marking an increase of nearly 30% compared to 2022. The OTC derivatives market on rates and forex also sees daily volumes in the trillions of dollars. Access for retail investors to these markets increasingly occurs through CFDs, with the global CFD broker market projected to generate $5.6 billion in revenue by 2025, and expected growth nearly doubling by 2035.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, highlighted the significance of this development, stating, "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". Bitget's tokenized U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume earlier this year, demonstrating the demand for 24/7, USDT-settled exposure to traditional assets.
Bitget is building a new trading paradigm, UEX (Universal Exchange), which enables seamless movement between crypto and traditional assets and provides users with unlimited opportunities among global markets. The Bitget TradFi trading platform officially entered the public beta phase on December 12, 2025 (UTC+8).
With the launch of Bitget TradFi, the company's UEX strategy takes a leap forward, making global markets more accessible, efficient, and borderless for traders worldwide. The ability to access both digital and traditional instruments from a single platform represents a breakthrough for those looking to diversify their portfolio and seize the opportunities offered by global markets.
