Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched its traditional finance trading suite to all users after completing a private beta phase that attracted more than 80,000 participants on its waitlist.
The platform, which opened beta access in December, recorded significant trading activity during the test period, with XAU/USD alone generating over $100 million in single-day trading volume. The beta phase validated demand for a unified platform connecting digital assets with traditional markets.
The public launch offers 79 instruments spanning metals, forex, indices, and commodities, all settled in USDT and accessible through existing Bitget accounts. The suite is designed to accommodate crypto-native traders whilst enabling access to macro-driven strategies without requiring platform switches.
The expansion forms part of Bitget's Universal Exchange vision, which aims to eliminate asset class segmentation in trading. By integrating gold, forex, and commodities alongside cryptocurrency offerings, the platform seeks to provide traders with a single ecosystem for managing risk, diversification, and market opportunities.
Liquidity depth, spread pricing, and leverage options were refined during the beta period based on user feedback to prepare the product for broader deployment.

Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Bitget, said:
"Traders want the flexibility to choose between assets in a unified ecosystem. They want the freedom to move between crypto and traditional markets as conditions change. TradFi going public is about giving them that accessibility in one place, without friction,"
The launch represents a shift in exchange positioning, moving beyond single-asset-class platforms towards integrated market access under a unified trading interface.
