According to the TokenInsight Q2 2026 Crypto Exchange Report, Bitget has emerged as one of the leading venues for TradFi trading products, generating nearly $70 billion in TradFi perpetual trading volume in Q2 2026. The report cements Bitget's growing presence in the rapidly expanding TradFi segment, where crypto exchanges are increasingly connecting digital asset infrastructure with global financial markets. Bitget generated approximately $69 billion in TradFi perpetual volume during Q2, capturing 11.01% market share and ranking second among all exchanges. The exchange was one of the fastest-growing platforms in the sector, with monthly TradFi perpetual volume expanding from roughly $52 billion in January to $268 billion in June, representing a fivefold increase over the first half of the year. As reported by TokenInsight, TradFi perpetuals became one of the fastest-growing segments across crypto exchanges during Q2, with equity perpetuals becoming the main growth driver as exchanges expanded into tokenized stocks, IPO products, and other real-world assets. The report noted that TradFi perpetuals have evolved from an emerging product category into a strategically important area of competition for exchanges, with Bitget's growth following a series of product launches under its Universal Exchange strategy, including IPO Prime and Stocks 2.0.
According to reports from crypto.news, Bitget has partnered with Siebly.io to provide software development kits that simplify API access for algorithmic trading bots, market-data tools and automated strategies. The exchange has integrated Siebly.io SDKs covering its V3 Unified Account and V2 Classic APIs, enabling developers to build spot, futures, copy-trading and market-data applications with reduced integration work. As reported by Bitget, the collaboration specifically addresses common challenges in algorithmic trading development, including fragmented APIs, inconsistent client libraries, and difficult migration processes that can consume development time and introduce technical errors. The partnership was officially announced on 21 July 2026 in Victoria, Seychelles, with Bitget describing itself as the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX). The collaboration gives developers access to the Bitget SDK by Siebly, enabling faster, more reliable connectivity across Bitget's spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time market data infrastructure.
As reported by crypto.news, the developer platform now provides SDKs for Bitget's V3 Unified Trading Account API and V2 Classic API. The software gives JavaScript and TypeScript developers ready-made access to spot trading, futures, copy trading, live market data and private account functions. According to Bitget, the Bitget SDK by Siebly helps developers build and connect trading applications without having to build exchange connections from scratch, allowing them to focus on trading strategies, bots, and market data applications instead of API integration. The integration removes the need to create every exchange connection from the beginning, a process that can consume development time and introduce technical errors. The tools are designed for JavaScript and TypeScript developers, enabling teams to create bots, trading systems, and market data applications without developing all the connections to the exchanges from scratch.
Bitget has launched TradFi Quanto Perpetual Futures, enabling USDT-settled trading of non-USD stocks without currency conversion. The contract prices the underlying stock in its local currency, HKD for Hong Kong equities or JPY for Japanese equities, but settles margin, funding fees, and realized P&L entirely in USDT. The system treats the local-currency price as numerically equivalent to USDT at 1:1, so the contract's price movement matches the underlying stock exactly, without any fiat involvement. The first contract, MINIMAXHKDUSDT, tracks Hong Kong-listed AI company MiniMax and is live today with up to 20x leverage only on Bitget. The problem the product solves is straightforward - a user who wants to buy Hong Kong stocks in HKD normally has to convert USDT to HKD first, taking on exchange rate risk on both the position and the conversion itself. Bitget's quanto structure removes that step, with a trader opening a long position of 10 MINIMAXHKDUSDT contracts at 30 and closing at 50 earning 200 USDT, calculated as (50 minus 30) times 10, settled directly to the futures account with no forex conversion happening at any point.
As reported by crypto.news, the V3 integration supports Bitget's Universal Exchange (UX) strategy, which places several asset classes and trading products within the same platform. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen explained that UEX is about delivering a better trading experience for users and developers worldwide independent of the assets they trade. According to Bitget, the collaboration with Siebly makes it easier to build reliable tools across Bitget's unified account architecture. The exchange launched a Cross-Asset Unified Account in July that places cryptocurrencies and tokenized U.S. equities inside one margin system, supporting more than 370 eligible assets, including 100 tokenized U.S. equities called rTokens. The platform has captured approximately 89% tokenized stock market share in December 2025, further up from 73% in the first week of December, positioning it as the dominant venue for tokenized stock trading. The platform's US stock futures have surpassed $15 billion in cumulative trading volume, while cumulative tokenized stock futures volume reached approximately $18 billion by December 2025. As reported by TokenInsight, TradFi perpetuals accounted for 8.61% of Bitget's total derivatives volume, the second-highest penetration rate among major centralized exchanges.
According to Bitget's latest press releases, the platform has launched US stock options trading, making it the only major crypto exchange currently offering US stock options alongside crypto and CFD markets covering gold, forex, commodities and indices. The exchange has also introduced Bot Copy Trading, a new feature set designed to connect experienced copy-trading bot strategists with users who want to deploy automated strategies with minimal setup, featuring a profit-sharing model and performance-led discovery. In April 2026, Bitget launched IPO Prime, the industry's first Pre-IPO trading service, powered by Republic, giving users exposure to private companies such as SpaceX before public listing. The exchange introduced tokenized stock perpetual contracts offering synthetic exposure to publicly traded companies with USDT settlement and up to 100x leverage, then added CFD trading in late 2025 for access to global equities, commodities, and forex through stablecoin settlement. These developments demonstrate Bitget's continued expansion of its Universal Exchange model across multiple asset classes and its leadership position in the convergence of traditional and on-chain markets.
