Bitget CEO's 8th Anniversary Open Letter: From Follower to Innovation Leader, the Pursuit of Trading Excellence Is Never Complete

Odaily reports that Bitget is celebrating its 8th anniversary, with CEO Gracy releasing an anniversary open letter. She candidly acknowledged that when Bitget proposed its Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy a year ago, there was no shortage of skepticism from the outside, but the team chose to respond with product execution. She stated that the starting point of UEX is to solve the fragmentation across assets, accounts, time, and geography, enabling users to trade global quality assets in a one-stop manner. Now that more and more leading exchanges are beginning to build out traditional financial trading, Gracy calls 2025 to 2026 the "first year of multi-asset trading."

In the letter, Gracy wrote that over the past year, Bitget has moved from "follower" to "leader in product innovation," successively launching products including stock perpetual contracts, Pre-IPO, cross-asset unified accounts, rToken, and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Data shows that non-crypto asset trading volume has peaked at 40% of the platform's total trading volume, TradFi contracts and CFDs both surpassed $10 billion in single-day trading volume, and rToken has accumulated over 3 million transactions.

Looking ahead to the next phase, institutional business will become Bitget's core direction. As of Q2 2026, Bitget's institutional client net asset scale has grown 45% cumulatively compared to Q3 2025, with core active market makers increasing from 90 to 248. Going forward, the platform will continue to optimize trade execution, asset security, and institutional service pathways. Gracy wrote at the end of the open letter: "The pursuit of trading excellence has no completion—only continuous progress. The era of multi-asset trading has only just begun."
