Bitget CEO's Open Letter: UEX is More Than Just an "Asset Supermarket"; Its Primary Value Lies in Asset Efficiency First

Odaily reported that, according to a mid-year open letter from Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, the first half of 2026 witnessed significant structural changes in platform user behavior: the peak trading volume of non-crypto assets approached 40% of Bitget's overall trading volume; CFD daily trading volume exceeded $10 billion; 52% of users held both stocks and cryptocurrencies; and 35% held precious metals like gold. Cross-asset trading has become a mainstream habit.

Gracy Chen pointed out that as a Universal Exchange (UEX), Bitget's core goal is not to build an "asset supermarket," but to reconstruct the underlying logic of how users participate in global markets around four core values: "asset efficiency, crypto-native experience, financial equality, and reducing burdens." On the business implementation front, Bitget has accelerated its layout through a dual-track approach combining tokenized stocks and direct stock connectivity, supporting 7×24 hour trading for multiple asset classes to break down the time zone and geographical barriers of traditional finance.

Furthermore, as AI tools become more deeply integrated into execution, 51% of users utilized AI-driven trading tools in the first half of the year, and the number of AI trading users on the platform has exceeded one million.
