Bitget Reports $23.1bn Institutional Liquidity Surge in October Transparency Update

Bitget, a digital asset exchange, has published its October 2025 transparency report showing institutional inflows, product expansion, and reserve growth. The report details how institutional participation on the platform has increased across spot and derivatives markets during 2025.

A joint study between Bitget and blockchain analytics firm Nansen identified a $23.1 billion increase in institutional liquidity flowing through the exchange. The research showed institutional participation on Bitget's spot markets rose from 39.4% in January to 72.6% by July, whilst futures market-maker activity increased from 3% to 56.6% during the same period. Nansen's analysis placed Bitget among the top two exchanges globally for institutional trading volume across BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP pairs, attributing the growth to liquidity depth and infrastructure.

According to DefiLlama's CEX Transparency dashboard, Bitget ranked second globally for monthly asset inflows, recording $1.78 billion in net inflows and total reserves of $7.83 billion in October. The exchange's Bitcoin reserves increased from 28,600 BTC to 30,300 BTC, representing a 6% monthly rise, contrasting with broader industry trends of declining centralised exchange reserves.

Bitget's US stock futures product surpassed $1 billion in cumulative trading volume, providing users with exposure to synthetic perpetual contracts linked to equities including Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA. The milestone reflects the platform's expansion into multi-asset trading beyond digital currencies.

The company's AI assistant, GetAgent, launched "Ask Satoshi," an interactive feature marking the 17th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper. The tool allows users to engage with an AI simulation of Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, combining education with technology.

Bitget Wallet introduced multichain gas abstraction, enabling users to pay transaction fees in USDT, USDC, or BGB across multiple networks. Additional integrations with HyperEVM and Plasma expanded cross-chain functionality, supporting self-custody and onchain activity.

Bitget has pursued education and social impact initiatives alongside its technology development. Gracy Chen, chief executive of Bitget, participated in UNICEF's Global Game Jam, encouraging young developers to explore blockchain applications for social purposes. The company also collaborated with Google Developer Group at KU Leuven on the "AI Accelerate Hack," combining artificial intelligence and blockchain innovation.

Gracy Chen, chief executive of Bitget, said:

"Our evolution as a Universal Exchange is guided by constant progression and a drive to serve our users better. From institutional liquidity and tokenised markets to AI-powered trading and cultural activations, every milestone brings us closer to a more open and intelligent financial future. UEX is not just a model, it's how we're building the next era of global finance."

Bitget describes its Universal Exchange model as integrating centralised trading infrastructure with decentralised finance capabilities and real-world asset accessibility within a unified platform. The October transparency report details the company's liquidity scaling, market expansion, and efforts to connect traditional and decentralised finance through its product suite.
