Bitget Stocks Support Direct Inbound Transfers of US Equities with Incentives

Bitget Ranks Among Top Perpetual Trading Platforms

TradFi perpetuals was one of the fastest-growing trades on exchanges in the quarter, according to the report. The volume of monthly trading jumped 44x between January and June, from $52 billion to $268 billion. Equity perpetuals are responsible for most of the growth, with Bitget adding tokenized stocks and other real-world assets related to IPOs. The segment has emerged as an important competitive highlight for the industry, it added said.

Bitget’s growth was attributed to its Universal Exchange strategy. In the Q2, the company launched the products like IPO Prime and Stocks 2.0. Both launches were highlighted as significant events by TokenInsight in the quarter.

The report also revealed that 8.61% of Bitget’s trading volume in derivatives was attributable to TradFi perpetuals. This was the second-largest rate of penetration among the major perpetual trading platforms in the survey.

Bitget was also among the top three exchanges in both equity and commodity perpetual markets during the quarter. Meanwhile, its open interest market share has jumped from 7.81% in the first quarter to 8.58% in the second quarter. This was one of the highest increases witnessed by the leading exchanges, per TokenInsight report.

What Does CEO Gracy Chen Say?

“The data points to a market that is starting to catch up with the vision behind our Universal Exchange,” stated Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. She added, “UEX is built around the belief that investors don’t want separate platforms for crypto and traditional finance, they want frictionless access to opportunities across both. The trading volumes we’re seeing today reinforces that this is where the market is heading.”

The report also covered the general market activity that occurred throughout the quarter. The total crypto exchange trading volume declined to $16.5 trillion in Q2. Spot trading bounced back, however, from $3.3 trillion to $4.5 trillion. TokenInsight cited market volatility and Bitcoin’s recent efforts to retest the $60,000 support level as reasons for the rebound. Now, Bitget’s trading ecosystem enables traders to trade crypto assets, tokenized stocks, commodities, and other financial products in one place.
