Bitget reports a 45% rise in institutional client assets, boosting market makers by 176% as the platform expands its offerings and infrastructure.
Bitget, the cryptocurrency exchange, has reported a significant 45% increase in the net assets held by its institutional clients compared to Q3 2025. This update was shared by CEO Gracy Chen in a letter celebrating the platform's eighth anniversary.
In the same timeframe, the exchange experienced a remarkable rise in active market makers, jumping from 90 to 248—a 176% increase. Chen highlighted that the institutional sector remains a key strategic priority for Bitget.
"The future of finance will not revolve around a choice between traditional and digital assets. It will focus on making access to all markets simpler, more efficient, and interconnected," stated Chen.
Looking ahead, Bitget intends to focus on improving trade execution for institutional clients, including enhancements in order matching speed and asset security. Plans are also in place to develop a robust infrastructure consisting of FIX/API connections, sub-accounts, OTC trading, and credit lines.
Updates on Universal Exchange (UEX)
Bitget introduced the Universal Exchange (UEX) model on September 15, 2025, allowing users to trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized stocks, commodities, and currencies from a single account. The company indicated that non-cryptocurrency assets once constituted 40% of the overall trading volume, with daily turnover for perpetual contracts on traditional assets exceeding $10 billion.
Additionally, the exchange has launched the rToken series, backed by the Reality platform, which has gained traction with one in four new clients opting for these tokens. The series includes contracts on approximately 1,000 assets, comprising hundreds of traditional asset instruments and CFD pairs.
In its recent Q2 report, Bitget observed a decline in the share of cryptocurrencies, which fell to 39.8% on certain days, while precious metals represented 40-55% of daily trading volume during active periods. To enhance its offerings, Bitget is also planning to improve dividend payments and lending options for rToken.
On September 2, the exchange launched a promotional offer for new users in the CIS and Ukraine, providing up to $700 in Bitcoin to incentivize account verification and trading.
