Bitget announced its Q3 2026 Transparency Report, reporting total quarterly trading volume of $1.86 trillion across crypto derivatives and spot markets, as well as traditional financial products. Positioning itself as the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), Bitget broadened its trading base during the quarter by deepening liquidity and expanding cross-asset trading capabilities.

Trading grew steadily across all major product categories during Q3. Combined monthly trading volume in September was up 21.2% from July. Crypto derivatives trading rose 31.5% to $409.19 billion, while crypto spot trading volume surged 65.7%. CFDs (contracts for difference), including tokenized stocks, indices, and commodities, climbed 39.7% to $376.32 billion, making them the largest non-crypto product category. This growth was supported by improved liquidity, driven by narrower bid-ask spreads and greater order-book depth.

At the heart of the liquidity strategy is Bitget’s launch of its Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA). This account structure brings together around 370 assets—including more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks—under a single margin pool, allowing collateral valuation ratios of up to 95%. Eligible tokenized stocks can therefore be used as margin for a range of products, including futures, spot trading, and CFDs, enabling users to manage multiple products simultaneously without reallocating capital between accounts.

AI-powered trading tools have also been expanded. Bitget extended its trading agent tool, GetAgent Playbook, to cover tokenized U.S. stocks. Other key third-quarter achievements included upgrades to fee and quoting structures for institutional investors and the launch of Cash Plus, a yield product for stablecoins.

“We’re seeing a clear trend of traders moving freely between crypto, stocks, and traditional assets,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “In response, we’re building a Universal Exchange.” She added, “While we achieved solid growth in the third quarter, it was also a reminder that protecting users must remain our top priority as we expand our business.”

Independent research firms also gave positive assessments of Bitget’s liquidity metrics. TokenInsight ranked Bitget first among nine major exchanges for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures order-book depth within ±0.05% of the market price, recording total liquidity of $41.6 million. CoinGecko also ranked Bitget among the top exchanges for BTC and ETH spot liquidity.

Bitget also demonstrated its competitiveness in tokenized stocks. According to CryptoRank’s analysis, Bitget’s Reality market recorded simulated slippage up to 58% lower than the next comparable exchange for a $50,000 order. In a comparison of five exchanges, DeFiLlama found that Bitget Reality had a median bid-ask spread of just 0.83 basis points (bp), as well as the deepest top-of-book liquidity.

Regarding the security incident on September 24, Bitget said it acted quickly to contain the spread of the leak and restore its systems, and that customer account balances were not affected. The company engaged external security specialists Mandiant and SlowMist to conduct an independent investigation, while restoring its Protection Fund ahead of schedule to more than $300 million as of September 30.

At the same time, Bitget strengthened its security infrastructure across the board. It introduced a circuit breaker mechanism to halt sudden abnormal trading activity, passed an independent security assessment by SlowMist, and increased its company-wide security budget. The company said its major cryptocurrency holdings have consistently maintained a ratio of more than 110% under its Proof of Reserves standard.
