Bitget Records Nearly 40% Trading Volume From Non-Crypto Assets

Bitget’s Q1 2026 Transparency Report shows an interesting shift in user activity with about 40% volume from non-crypto assets. The trading trends have extended beyond digital assets into conventional financial instruments.

Bitget Sees Increase in Non-Crypto Asset Trading

The report indicates that exposure to non-crypto markets grew substantially during the quarter. Trading in commodities and other traditional instruments had approximated 20-40% of total trading on Bitget by the end of March.

For context, in January, crypto assets resented most of the platform’s trading volume. This dominance softened over the quarter, as crypto settled at approximately 60-80% of total volume in March. Furthermore, data shows that capital became more widely dispersed among different types of financial instruments.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen explained that this behavior represents a structural change in the market design. In a statement, Chen said:

“The lines between crypto and traditional markets are disappearing. What we’re seeing with CFD growth is the early shape of a unified market. Users are not choosing between crypto and traditional assets anymore, they’re trading both together. In Q2, that convergence will deepen as we continue building toward a Universal Exchange where everything trades in one place.”

Recently, the company also unlocked pre-IPO access via its IPO Prime model. SpaceX led the initiative by serving as the as the first base asset in the offering.

Increasing Focus On AI Infrastructure

In addition to the trading composition shifts, the crypto exchange grew its artificial intelligence-based infrastructure in Q1. New systems such as Agent Hub and GetClaw were also developed.

These systems aim to change the role of AI tools as passive assistant functions to autonomous execution roles. For this, Agent Hub and GetClaw will utilize live market feeds, analyze changing circumstances and execute trades based on specified user requirements.

Bitget exchange also published its Universal Exchange whitepaper. It proposes a framework that incorporates crypto assets, tokenized instruments, and AI based execution layers into one architecture. The paper places the recent trends as a preliminary step towards integrating multi-asset trading environments and machine-aided decision systems.

Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet extended its use-case to include more than trading, launching the Onchain Payments Matrix. The system connects about 90 million users and over 150 million merchants in over 50 regions, and facilitates more acceptance of digital assets as a payment method.

Moreover, the wallet expansion also included integrations with networks like the XRP Ledger and Stellar. These collaborations aim at providing cross-border transfer functionality and merchant settlement flows across jurisdictions.
