Bitget launches TradFi trading to all users after successful Private Beta

Crypto exchange Bitget has opened its TradFi trading platform to all users, expanding access to forex, gold, indices, and commodities within a single USDT-settled ecosystem.

Bitget has officially rolled out its TradFi trading suite to all users, following a private beta that attracted strong demand and heavy trading activity across gold, forex, and global macro assets.

The public launch marks a significant expansion of Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy, which aims to bring crypto assets and traditional financial markets into a single trading environment.

Strong demand during Private Beta

Bitget first introduced TradFi trading in December through a limited beta program. More than 80,000 users participated, signaling strong interest from traders looking to diversify beyond cryptocurrencies without leaving the crypto ecosystem.

During the testing phase, trading volumes exceeded expectations. Gold (XAU/USD) emerged as a standout product, recording over $100 million in single-day trading volume, one of the highest figures seen throughout the beta period.

The results reinforced the market appetite for platforms that allow seamless movement between crypto assets and traditional financial instruments.

TradFi trading now open to all users

With the beta complete, Bitget TradFi is now fully available to the public, offering access to 79 instruments across:

All trades are settled in USDT, allowing users to deploy capital without converting into fiat or opening external brokerage accounts.

Traders can access TradFi markets directly from their existing Bitget accounts, using an interface designed to feel familiar to crypto-native users while supporting macro-driven strategies.

Improved Liquidity and Trading Conditions

Based on feedback from beta participants, Bitget introduced several enhancements ahead of the public launch, including:

The platform supports leverage of up to 500x on select instruments and operates under regulation by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. Trading fees start from $0.09 per lot, with discounted rates available for VIP users.

A push toward unified markets

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the TradFi launch reflects how trader behavior is evolving:

Traders want the flexibility to choose between assets in a unified ecosystem. 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.

The company is positioning itself as a single access point for traders focused on diversification, capital efficiency, and risk management across asset classes.

Targeting a Multi-Trillion-Dollar Market

The launch comes amid rapid growth in traditional financial markets:

By integrating CFDs, forex, and commodities into a crypto-native platform, Bitget aims to capture growing retail demand for simplified access to global markets.

Building on Tokenized Asset Momentum

Bitget’s move into TradFi builds on earlier success in tokenized U.S. stock futures, which have already surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume on the platform.

TradFi expands this approach beyond equities, allowing users to shift capital between cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, forex, and commodities without leaving the Bitget ecosystem.

Advancing the universal Exchange Vision

Founded in 2018, Bitget now serves more than 120 million users globally. Alongside centralized trading, the company operates Bitget Wallet, a decentralized finance app with over 80 million users, offering trading, payments, and earning tools in one interface.

By bringing traditional financial markets into its core trading platform, Bitget continues to push its vision of a borderless, multi-asset exchange, where digital and traditional finance coexist under a single system.

The TradFi public launch marks another step in that direction, as crypto platforms increasingly evolve into full-scale gateways to global markets.
