Bitget CEO 8th Anniversary Open Letter: From Follower to Innovation Leader, the Pursuit of Trading Excellence is Never Complete

Bitget celebrates its 8th anniversary, with CEO Gracy releasing an anniversary open letter. She candidly acknowledged that when Bitget introduced the comprehensive exchange UEX strategy a year ago, there was plenty of skepticism from the outside, but the team chose to respond by bringing the products to life. She explained that UEX was designed to address the fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones, and regions, enabling users to access premium global assets through a single platform. As more leading exchanges increasingly position themselves for traditional finance trading, Gracy has dubbed 2025–2026 the “first year of multi-asset trading.” In her letter, Gracy wrote that over the past year, Bitget transformed from a “chaser” into a “leader in product innovation,” sequentially rolling out products such as stock perpetuals, Pre-IPO allocations, cross-asset unified accounts, rTokens, and Hong Kong Stock Quanto contracts. Data shows that the peak trading volume for non-crypto assets now accounts for 40% of the platform’s total volume, while daily volumes for TradFi derivatives and CFDs have each surpassed $10 billion. Meanwhile, cumulative rToken transactions have exceeded 3 million. Looking ahead to the next phase, institutional business will emerge as Bitget’s core strategic focus. As of Q2 2026, the net asset value of Bitget’s institutional clients has grown cumulatively by 45% since Q3 2025, and the number of core active market makers has risen from 90 to 248. Going forward, the platform will continue to refine its trading execution, asset security protocols, and institutional service workflows. Gra
