Bitget has unveiled an ambitious AI co-creation plan to transform its trading platforms into comprehensive AI-powered ecosystems. According to reports from crypto.news, the exchange launched this initiative during its 'Obsidian Night' event on Tuesday, positioning AI as a 'key lever for ordinary users' rather than an exclusive institutional tool. The company's head of AI products emphasized that AI should not be confined to exchange functions or institutional use, but should serve as a tool for achieving trading equality between professional traders and retail users.
Built on Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) architecture, the AI stack provides comprehensive cross-asset trading capabilities. As reported by crypto.news, the Agent Hub now combines Model Context Protocol, REST/WebSocket APIs, and new Skills and CLI modules into a unified pipeline designed to bridge AI models, developer tools, and real-time trade execution. The platform also features GetClaw, an AI trading assistant that can execute strategies from natural-language instructions while monitoring markets and managing positions in real-time via dedicated AI account structures.
According to crypto.news, Bitget plans to host what it calls the world's first AI trading hackathon in the second quarter of 2026. The company will provide developers with technical resources and work with creators on practical AI trading tutorials. Additionally, Bitget plans to open B-end cooperation for projects and tool vendors to integrate into its ecosystem, extending earlier hackathon efforts with partners such as Solana. CEO Gracy Chen stated that the exchange is preparing infrastructure to run AI agents at scale, describing the dedicated GetClaw accounts as a way to separate user-controlled assets from agent-driven activity while maintaining transparency.
As reported by crypto.news, Bitget demonstrates strong business fundamentals supporting its AI investment strategy. The exchange reported an 86% year-on-year increase in Bitcoin reserves in February 2026 and triple-digit spot volume expansion in prior quarters. These metrics serve as proof that the company can fund and scale AI-heavy infrastructure under its Universal Exchange strategy. The exchange has also secured full licensing in El Salvador and slashed order-processing latency by up to 40% as part of its broader growth initiatives.
According to crypto.news, Bitget's AI strategy is anchored by Gracy AI, a digital assistant modeled on CEO Gracy Chen's decision-making style that focuses on market cycles, strategy, and risk framing rather than price predictions. The company's GetAgent AI assistant has bundled more than 50 trading tools, including market insights and social sentiment, serving a waitlist of 25,000 users at launch. Bitget's Universal Exchange strategy positions the company to handle the expected proliferation of AI agents trading on behalf of users in emerging financial markets.
