1. Opening: 2025 at a Glance

2025 was a defining year for Bitget. What began as a period of strong growth across trading and liquidity evolved into a broader transformation, positioning Bitget as a Universal Exchange (UEX) built to operate across market cycles, asset classes, and financial paradigms.

The year unfolded against a complex macro backdrop. Spot Bitcoin ETFs reshaped institutional access, liquidity rotated rapidly between centralized and onchain venues, tokenized assets moved from concept to execution, and AI emerged as a practical layer for decision-making rather than experimentation. Volatility returned in waves, testing platforms not just on performance, but on trust, transparency, and resilience.

Within this environment, Bitget focused on integration rather than expansion for its own sake. The UEX framework brought together crypto-native assets, tokenized equities, TradFi instruments, and onchain liquidity into a single ecosystem designed for coherence and accessibility. Rather than forcing users to navigate fragmented tools, chains, or financial silos, Bitget positioned itself as connective infrastructure—where markets that once operated separately could be accessed, analyzed, and executed side by side.

By the end of 2025, Bitget was no longer defined solely by scale or speed. It was defined by structure: a platform engineered to support institutional capital, empower retail users, and bridge decentralized innovation with real-world financial access.

2. UEX Comes to Life: From Vision to Reality

The introduction of Universal Exchange (UEX) during Bitget’s 7th anniversary marked a strategic shift from product-led growth to ecosystem-led design. UEX was not positioned as a feature, but as an architectural philosophy, one that recognized how fragmented modern finance had become and sought to unify it under a single, interoperable framework.

Throughout 2025, that vision moved from concept to execution. Centralized spot and derivatives trading were increasingly complemented by onchain access across Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Base, and Morph. Tokenized stocks and ETFs brought global equities into the same environment as crypto assets. Payments, yield, and self-custody were integrated through Bitget Wallet, while AI tools such as GetAgent connected data, context, and execution into a single workflow.

UEX simplified what had historically been complex. Users no longer needed to choose between centralized efficiency and decentralized access, or between crypto markets and traditional finance. Instead, Bitget enabled these layers to coexist, liquid, interoperable, and accessible through one account.

This evolution was reinforced by external validation. Independent research and market analyses from Nansen, Animoca Brands, CoinDesk, and CoinGecko consistently highlighted Bitget’s growing institutional participation, liquidity depth, and role in shaping the next generation of exchange models. Together, these recognitions confirmed that UEX was not a marketing narrative, but a response to how users, institutions, and markets were already converging.

By the end of 2025, UEX had become the spine of Bitget’s ecosystem—connecting assets, users, and infrastructure into a unified financial experience built for global participation.

3. By the Numbers: Bitget’s 2025 in Data

In 2025, Bitget ranked among the top four centralized exchanges globally by total derivatives trading volume, recording $8.17 trillion in annual volume with an average monthly volume of $680.3 billion, according to CoinGlass 's 2025 Annual Derivatives Market Report. Internal data further indicates that Bitget’s average daily futures trading volume reached approximately 16 billion, while total daily trading volume across spot, derivatives, and onchain products close to ~$18 billion.

On-chain growth became a material contributor to platform activity. Since launching in April 2025, Bitget Onchain generated over $2.4 billion in cumulative trading volume, with September marking the strongest month as multichain demand accelerated. Tokenized equities also emerged as a breakout vertical, with tokenized stock futures cumulative volume surpassing $17 billion and stock volume $1 billion by year-end. In early December, Bitget captured 73% market share of all of the Ondo-issued tokenized stocks generated more than $88 million in spot trading volume within a single week, highlighting accelerating demand for on-chain access to global equities and ETFs.

Reserve data further shows market trust. According to on-chain analytics from CryptoQuant and Lookonchain, Bitget’s Bitcoin reserves increased materially throughout 2025, even as total BTC held across centralized exchanges continued to decline industry-wide. At key points during the year, Bitget ranked among the top exchanges by net BTC inflows, signaling sustained user confidence, capital retention, and long-term custodial trust during periods of elevated market volatility.

4. Institutional Adoption and Market Trust

Institutional participation became a defining growth driver for Bitget in 2025. According to Bitget's data, the share of institutional spot trading volume increased from 39.4% in January to 82% by December, while institutional market makers’ share of futures volume rose from 3% to 60% over the same period. This influx of professional capital coincided with measurable improvements in order-book depth, tighter spreads, and stronger liquidity resilience during volatility.

Bitget further strengthened its institutional appeal through strategic liquidity partnerships such as Ampersan, DWF Labs, Anti Capital, and more, providing consistent depth across spot, futures, and options markets. Transparency also remained central to trust-building. Throughout 2025, Bitget maintained a 100%+ Proof-of-Reserves system supported by Merkle-tree verification, with the Total Reserve Ratio peaking at 213% in March. In parallel, the platform’s Protection Fund reached a peak value of $741 million in October, providing an additional layer of security for users.

5. Tokenized Finance and TradFi Integration

Tokenized Finance emerged as one of Bitget’s strongest growth engines in 2025, reflecting how the UEX framework is reshaping access to traditional markets.

Tokenized stocks first featured on Bitget in September 2025, in a partnership with Ondo Finance, bringing onboard over 100 tokenized assets. Bitget further enhanced this offering in December, migrating its tokenized stock tokens from Ethereum to the high-performance BSC (BEP20) network in a move designed to enhance user experience and reduce costs. Cumulative trading volume for Bitget’s US stock futures exceeded $5 billion, driven by demand for synthetic exposure to major equities such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA, and often during hours when traditional markets were closed.

This momentum coincided with the public launch of Bitget TradFi, which unlocked trading across equities, commodities, indices, and FX directly in USDT. Days after the public launch, Bitget recorded more than $2 billion in daily volume. Hitting a milestone this early underscores a broader shift in user behavior. Traders are no longer treating tokenized assets as passive representations of TradFi, but as real-time instruments for responding to macro movements.

By removing brokerage friction, settlement delays and geographic barriers, Bitget is positioning tokenized finance as a core pillar of UEX, where global equities trade at the same speed, liquidity and accessibility as crypto-native markets.

6. Bitget Onchain and the DeFi Bridge

Bitget Onchain activity continued to accelerate as Bitget became the first exchange to offer Ethereum, Solana, BSC and Base tokens on one acount. Bitget was also the first UEX to integrate Morph Chain, advancing Its Onchain ecosystem. Rather than pushing users to choose between centralized execution and decentralized access, Bitget Onchain increasingly functioned as a connective layer, allowing users to move fluidly between onchain liquidity and exchange-grade tooling within a single environment.

Adoption milestones reflected this with Bitget capturing 73% market share as Ondo tokenized stock tokens topped $88M in the first week of December alone. Earlier in September, Bitget Onchain recorded a daily trading volume of $113 million. The rollout of AI-powered features such as Onchain Signals further reinforced this shift, translating raw onchain data into actionable insights. Together, these developments illustrate why UEX is resonating. Users are no longer optimizing for strategy alone, but for speed and coherence across CeFi and DeFi rails.

7. AI, Automation, and Smarter Trading

AI became a defining layer of Bitget’s trading experience in 2025, with GetAgent evolving from an assistive tool into a core pillar. GetAgent boasts 500,000+ users and 2M conversations with recent upgrades expanding GetAgent beyond market Q&A into portfolio guidance, strategy generation and automated execution. This broader shift was highlighted in the Ask Satoshi Global Report as traders increasingly seek context, not just data. Usage patterns show growing reliance on AI to interpret macro signals, manage risk and navigate portfolio exposure to different assets. GetAgent wrapped up the year by reimagining how users reflect on a year in crypto by replacing static reports with an interactive, personalized recap generated entirely by AI. Within the UEX framework, GetAgent functions as an intelligent layer connecting onchain data, centralized liquidity and traditional market signals into a single workflow that reduces cognitive load for its users.

8. Bitget Wallet: From Self-Custody to Everyday Use

In 2025, Bitget Wallet launched the Crypto for Everyone movement and accelerated its transformation into a true everyday finance app, as usage shifted from trading-first behavior toward everyday crypto payments and onchain yield. According Bitget Wallet's 2025 growth data, while overall onchain trading activity expanded — with monthly swap volumes exceeding $900 million (+232% YoY) and decentralized perpetual trading approaching $5 billion per month (+291% YoY) — growth was increasingly driven by real-world usage.

Bitget Wallet Card spending surged more than 28× year on year, powered by zero-fee crypto cards on Mastercard and Visa across 50+ markets, supported by a unified Bitget Wallet Pay stack that includes national QR payments, direct bank transfer rails in emerging economies, and in-app crypto shopping.

On the earning side, Bitget Wallet launched Stablecoin Earn Plus in partnership with Aave, which reached $80 million in TVL within one month, contributing to Earn products scaling more than tenfold with quarterly subscriptions nearing $200 million.

The wallet also broadened access to global markets, integrating Ondo Finance to support 200+ tokenized stocks and ETFs, and Hyperliquid for 300+ perpetual trading pairs directly onchain.

To reduce friction at scale, Bitget Wallet abstracted gas fees away by enabling stablecoin-based payment and gas-free transactions across multiple networks, saving users over $300,000 in gas fees in 2025 alone, while streamlining onboarding through social login and reinforcing self-custody with TEE-based hardware security. Together, these milestones reposition Bitget Wallet as a practical financial account for sending, spending, earning, and trading onchain.

9. BGB and Ecosystem Evolution

BGB is evolving from an exchange-native token into a core onchain asset within the Morph ecosystem, serving as gas, governance, and settlement infrastructure for payments, DeFi, and network activity. Following the September 2025 update, 440 million BGB was transferred to the Morph Foundation, with 220 million permanently burned, significantly accelerating the supply reduction roadmap and tying future burns directly to network usage.

BGB holders continue to generate passive income through various platform initiatives such as Bitget Launchpool. In 2025, Bitget Launchpool featured 33 projects, 31 of which allowed farming via BGB, delivering a comprehensive annual yield of 10.16%.

With upcoming support for paying transaction fees in BGB and governance-controlled, usage-based burn mechanisms, BGB’s supply dynamics are now linked to real economic activity rather than fixed schedules. Treasury releases remain controlled, DeFi integrations expand productive use, and payment incentives anchor BGB to a global addressable market.

As adoption scales across Morph, Bitget, and Bitget Wallet, BGB is positioned as a multi-ecosystem token whose long-term value is driven by transparent governance, onchain activity, and sustained real-world usage.

10. Culture, Community, and Global Presence

In Mandalika, the double-decker Bitget Mandalika Experience elevated engagement through a four-station gamified route and high-visibility cyan branding, amplified further by Jorge Lorenzo's on-site appearance and strong fan-generated content. Together, the three activations demonstrated a scalable MotoGP playbook—immersive design, structured participation, and content-first execution—strengthening Bitget's positioning at the intersection of crypto innovation and global sports spirit under #MakeItCount.

Where Football Meets Web3: Bitget x LALIGA Partnership Activations

Across 2025, Bitget brought the LALIGA partnership to life through a balanced mix of flagship fan moments and grassroots, values-led community engagement. Dream Day Jakarta stood out as a high-energy carnival experience—uniting fans through football challenges (penalty shoot-outs, header contests, juggling leaderboards), exclusive meet-and-greets with Luis Milla, and a match screening that sparked peak crowd emotion, supported by branded giveaways that sustained buzz and strong attendee feedback on flow and atmosphere.

In Southeast Asia, Bitget extended the partnership into long-term goodwill through the LALIGA Youth Tournament series, activating Blockchain4Youth in a community-driven format that connected with young players, families, and fans through family-friendly engagement and positive storytelling. The Cambodia Youth Tournament further expanded Bitget’s reach into a predominantly non-crypto-native audience—serving as a top-of-funnel branding opportunity with venue-wide visibility that strengthened recall and introduced Bitget to a new generation through the shared spirit of sport, education, and empowerment.

Bitget x UNTOLD — Turning Web3 Into a Cultural Experience

Bitget partnered with UNTOLD to bring Web3 into a global cultural stage, turning crypto into an immersive, community-first festival experience. Across both events, Bitget delivered a cohesive multi-zone presence, supported by daily Mainstage Moment storytelling, standout collaborations, and tailored KOL/VIP touchpoints that deepened community ties. In Dubai, signature on-site moments—including mainstage highlights, a Bitget cake celebration, Bhangra performances, and DJ collaborations—helped transform festival energy into highly shareable brand experiences and reinforced Bitget's positioning at the intersection of music culture and Web3 innovation.

Uniting Communities Worldwide: Bitget's 2025 Campaign Highlights

Across 2025, Bitget's global campaigns delivered a strong community impact on a scale, activating 4,200+ participants through 49 events across 37+ cities, spanning 5 continents. From the year-end Beyond 2025: Unlock Tomorrow, which brought product storytelling to life through hands-on, gamified experiences, to Crypto Experience Month, which translated "Look What Crypto Can Do" into beginner-friendly, youth-oriented Web3 use cases, and Pizza Day, which showcased Bitget's community-first culture through playful, locally led celebrations—each campaign reinforced Bitget's ability to unite global audiences through consistent narratives, meaningful participation, and highly shareable brand moments.

Igniting Moments, Uniting Communities

In 2025, Bitget consistently blended finance, culture, and sport by turning product narratives into experiences people could feel and share—pairing UEX- and product-led innovation with the energy of live communities, the symbolism of sports partnerships, and the emotional pull of cultural moments. Bitget positioned Web3 as a modern lifestyle movement—accessible, participatory, and built around real human connection.

The brand moments that defined the year were those that created shared memories at scale: immersive flagship presences that became UGC engines, community celebrations that traveled globally with a unified theme, partnership activations that welcomed new audiences into the ecosystem, and premium touchpoints that strengthened long-term relationships. Like fireworks marking a peak moment in the sky, these experiences captured a year of momentum—bright, collective, and forward-looking—setting the tone for what Bitget will unlock next.

11. Education, Research, and Social Impact

In parallel with market growth, Bitget deepened its investment in education, research, and social responsibility, recognizing that sustainable adoption depends as much on understanding and access as it does on liquidity.

Throughout 2025, Bitget Research maintained a consistent media presence, providing market commentary across global outlets and helping contextualize macro trends, regulatory shifts, and asset cycles for a broad audience. These insights positioned Bitget not just as a venue for trading, but as a credible voice within the industry’s analytical landscape.

Beyond commentary, Bitget expanded hands-on education through Blockchain4Youth graduate programs, university partnerships and Google developer group hackathons, exposing students and early-career builders to real-world applications of blockchain and AI. With Bitget's partnership with LALIGA, Bitget supported grassroots football, bringing the community together through a shared love of sport. As a regional partner of MotoGP, Bitget made it count through race experiences, bringing onboard new users with a need for speed. These efforts extended globally through Bitget’s collaboration with UNICEF under the Game Changers Coalition, with a goal of educating 1 million people in blockchain by 2027.

In December, Bitget was on ground in Cambodia with UNICEF, seeing how technology is changing the lives of the underprivileged. There, Bitget participated as judges of the Game Jam and had the opportunity to meet students and see the learning environment shaping young minds.

Extending the helping hand, Bitget announced a $1.5 Million USD relief fund for families affected by Hong Kong’s devastating Wang Fuk Court Tower Fire and also supported earthquake relief efforts in Northern Cebu.

Combined with disaster relief initiatives and regional education programs, these efforts reflect Bitget’s broader view of adoption — one where access to markets is paired with literacy, resilience, and inclusion. The aim is not extractive growth, but durable participation in a global financial ecosystem.
