Bitget has opened private beta access to Bitget TradFi, a cross-market feature enabling cryptocurrency users to trade forex, metals, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs using USDT as margin. Selected users are testing the feature with limited early-access capabilities.
The move targets a substantial market. The Bank for International Settlements reports global FX turnover has reached approximately $9.6 trillion per day, up nearly 30% from 2022. OTC interest-rate and FX derivatives trade in the trillions daily, with more than $700 trillion in notional outstanding. The global CFD broker market is estimated at $5.6 billion in 2025 revenues and projected to nearly double by 2035.
TradFi allows existing Bitget users to trade major FX pairs, gold and other CFD products from the same platform they use for spot, futures, copy trading and tokenised stocks. All positions are margined and settled in USDT, removing the need for separate broker accounts, local bank wires or currency conversions.
The product offers institutional liquidity, tight spreads and leverage of up to 500x within a framework regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. Fee rates start at $0.09 per lot, with VIP users receiving favourable trading conditions.

"The shift in wealth management is happening now, assets that were previously only available on certain niche markets are now on Bitget. This is historic; crypto, stocks, gold, forex and commodities now coexist under a single system. This is what an universal exchange merging wealth management under a roof looks like, it's now present day finance," Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, said.
The launch follows Bitget's tokenised U.S. stock futures surpassing $10 billion in cumulative trading volume earlier this year, demonstrating demand for 24/7, USDT-settled exposure to traditional assets. Bitget TradFi extends that model from equity derivatives into the broader FX and CFD universe.
The platform allows users to move capital between crypto, tokenised stocks and macro markets inside a single interface, advancing the company's Universal Exchange strategy of making global markets more accessible and borderless.
