Bitget And Arkis Partner To Bring Institutional Prime Brokerage Access To Crypto Markets

Bitget has announced a partnership with Arkis, an institutional digital asset prime brokerage, to introduce Direct Market Access (DMA) to Bitget within Arkis's prime brokerage framework.
 

The collaboration allows institutional clients to trade on Bitget while financing positions through a single, portfolio-based margin model, replacing isolated margin requirements with portfolio-level netting across supported venues.
 

Institutional clients can execute trades on Bitget using sub-account structures and API-based workflows, borrowing against a unified portfolio margin that spans Bitget and other supported venues within the Arkis framework.

Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Bitget

Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Bitget said:

“Institutions want to deploy capital where it works hardest, without having to manage fragmented margin across platforms. The integration with Arkis gives institutional traders a more practical way to access Bitget while managing risk and financing at the portfolio level. It's a structure that fits how professional desks actually operate.”

For institutional users on Bitget, positions executed on the platform can now be financed under Arkis's credit framework, enabling higher capital utilisation without fragmenting margin across venues.
 

Serhii Tyshchenko, Chief Executive Officer, Arkis

Serhii Tyshchenko, Chief Executive Officer, Arkis commented:

“Trading firms need capital efficiency without sacrificing risk discipline. By enabling DMA to Bitget within Arkis's unified margin framework, this partnership allows institutions to finance positions holistically across venues while maintaining the controls expected in professional trading environments.”

Bitget is the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), serving over 125 million users and offering access to over two million crypto tokens, as well as tokenised stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and precious metals. Arkis is an institutional digital asset prime brokerage providing unified margin and credit across centralised and decentralised venues.
