Bitget and Block Scholes Release Research Report: Cross-Asset Hedging Has Become a Mainstream Strategy

Odaily News Bitget, in collaboration with data research firm Block Scholes, has released a report analyzing the interconnected trends between crypto assets and traditional financial markets driven by macroeconomic events, based on market data from the first quarter of 2026. The report points out that as the correlation between Bitcoin and major stock indices has risen to relatively high levels since the end of 2025, traders' demand for real-time cross-market allocation is increasing.

Data shows that Bitget's CFD business trading volume has exhibited a continuous growth trend: the initial daily trading volume at launch was approximately $2 billion, which later increased to $4 billion and surpassed $6 billion during periods of heightened market volatility. The report suggests that this change reflects a shift where some users are gradually integrating crypto assets, stocks, and commodities into a unified trading framework for coordinated management, rather than treating them as entirely independent trading strategies.

The report further indicates that against the backdrop of persistently strengthening multi-asset correlations and increasingly pronounced macro-driven trading characteristics, Universal Exchanges (UEX), which integrate crypto assets and traditional financial instruments within a single account system, are gaining attention from a growing number of active traders. These platforms are gradually becoming important venues for their cross-asset allocation strategies.
