This fluctuation signals that holistic asset portfolios have become the core strategy for high-net-worth investors. At the product and ecosystem level, Bitget released the whitepaper for its Holistic Exchange (UEX) in Q1, further clarifying the integration path for crypto assets, tokenized assets, and AI-driven trading within a unified architecture. Simultaneously, the platform has continued strengthening its AI trading infrastructure, launching Agent Hub and GetClaw—advancing AI from an assistive tool to an execution system that enables agents to ingest real-time market data, identify trading signals, and execute operations autonomously within predefined parameters. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated: “The boundary between crypto markets and traditional finance is rapidly dissolving; the explosive growth of CFDs heralds the arrival of a unified market. Users are no longer making binary asset choices—they are engaging in efficiency-based competition across diverse assets under a single logical framework.”
