Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched a private beta for Bitget TradFi, a new cross-market feature that enables crypto users to access global forex, metals, commodities, indices and stock CFDs using USDT as margin. Selected users have been invited to test the product with limited early-access functionality.
The move targets a sizeable market. According to figures cited by Bitget, global FX turnover has reached around $9.6 trillion per day, up nearly 30% since 2022, while OTC interest-rate and FX derivatives trade in the trillions daily and sit on more than $700 trillion in notional outstanding. Retail exposure to this activity is increasingly provided via CFDs, with the global CFD broker market estimated at $5.6 billion in 2025 revenues and projected to almost double by 2035. Bitget TradFi is positioned to bring this segment onto the same infrastructure that already supports digital assets.
Bitget TradFi allows existing users to trade major FX pairs, gold and other mainstream CFD products from the same platform they currently 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 transfers or currency conversions when moving between different asset types.
The product combines deep institutional liquidity and tight spreads with leverage of up to 500x, offered within a framework regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. The fee schedule is set with rates starting as low as $0.09 per lot, with VIP users able to access what the platform describes as some of the most favourable trading conditions in the market.
"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."”

The launch follows Bitget’s efforts to connect traditional assets with digital markets through tokenisation. Earlier in 2025, the platform’s tokenised U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, reflecting demand for 24/7, USDT-settled exposure to traditional instruments. Bitget TradFi extends this model from equity derivatives into a wider FX and CFD universe, enabling users to move capital between crypto, tokenised stocks and macro markets via a single interface.
By combining digital and traditional instruments on one platform, Bitget TradFi is presented as a step forward in the company’s UEX strategy, aiming to make global markets more accessible, capital-efficient and borderless for its user base.
