Bitget opens TradFi trading to users after high-demand beta phase

Markets 2026-01-06 09:33
  • Following a successful beta phase, Bitget has officially opened its traditional finance (TradFi) trading to the public.

  • The full offering will be up to 79 instruments using USDT settlement. 

  • Bitget’s continues to evolve into a universal exchange in 2026, offering a single gateway for risk management and diversification.

Bitget, the self-proclaimed “world’s largest Universal Exchange” (UEX), has formally opened its TradFi trading suite to all users, following a private beta that drew overwhelming interest and delivered standout trading activity across gold, forex, and global macro assets.

The public launch of Bitget is being touted as a key milestone in the company’s evolution into a Universal Exchange (UEX). The company opened its beta access in December, and saw more than 80,000 users join the waitlist to explore trading beyond crypto, validating strong demand for a single platform that connects digital assets with traditional markets. 

Bitget has entered full public availability

The beta period demonstrated significant interest in cross-asset trading, and the expansion is Bitget’s response 

Activity during that test phase more than exceeded expectations, highlighted by XAU/USD recording over $100 million in single-day trading volume, one of the strongest performances seen during the beta period.

Insights from that trial have been integrated into the product, and now Bitget TradFi is finally ready to enter full public availability with a broader lineup and refined execution. Interested users will be able to trade up to 79 instruments spanning metals, forex, indices, and commodities, all settled in USDT and accessed directly from their existing Bitget accounts. 

The experience is designed to feel familiar to crypto-native traders while opening the door to macro-driven strategies without the need to switch platforms. 

Bitget is optimizing for modern traders 

The launch is expected to reinforce Bitget’s UEX (Universal Exchange) vision, where trading is no longer segmented by asset class. 

By bringing gold, forex, and commodities into the same ecosystem as crypto, Bitget is positioning itself as a platform that accounts for how modern traders actually think about risk, diversification, and opportunity. 

Things like deep liquidity, tight spreads, and flexible leverage options were refined during the beta based on real user feedback, which means the product is not just ready but also has the potential to scale.

“Traders want the flexibility to choose between assets in a unified ecosystem,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “They want the freedom to move between crypto and traditional markets as conditions change. TradFi going public is about giving them that accessibility in one place, without friction.”

With TradFi now fully live, Bitget continues to expand what a crypto exchange can be. The move signals a broader shift in how exchanges are evolving, not just as venues for speculation, but as comprehensive gateways to global markets under a single, unified trading experience.
