Gold Demand Drives $2B Daily Bitget TradFi Volume as Crypto Traders Diversify

Bitget has registered over $2 billion in trading volume per day on its TradFi platform. This is proof of the high level of demand for gold trading and increased diversification among crypto traders.

Why Crypto Traders Are Shifting to Gold 

The milestone is happening three days after the public launch of the Bitget TradFi platform. It was launched on January 5, 2025. The rise in activity shows that there has been an early adoption of conventional market products by crypto-native users.

The press release stated that gold was the most actively traded asset in the Bitget TradFi platform in terms of volume. This highlighted its significance as a hedge of choice during market uncertainty. Equity indices and forex pairs were also of great interest to Bitget traders, with U.S. equity indices, silver and euro-dollar trading pairs being the most popular.

Increased number of crypto users are moving away from digital assets to manage short-term risk. According to Bitget analysts, the recent happenings have become a cause for traders to utilize defensive positioning strategy. Flows into gold and silver increased as traders reacted to macro uncertainty.

What Is Stabilizing Crypto Market Flows?

In addition, decrease in oil prices have eased the pressures of inflation in the near term. Still, markets continue to factor in possible supply risks and tighter situations. On-chain indicators continue to support broader volatility. Hence, supply of assets on crypto exchanges continue to drop.

However, stablecoin liquidity continue to rise, as they help smoothen trading activities. This change follows a discovery by Bitget that Bitcoin and gold are the top safe-haven demand during peaks of volatility cycles.

ETF flows have become stable and the fears of broad market capitulation have been minimized. The Bitget TradFi platform was created to enable an increase in event-driven trading volume across all markets worldwide. Hence, a user can engage in traditional investments but never have to exit a crypto interface.

Traders Move Towards Tokenized TradFi 

The $2 billion daily trading volume is a good sign of high demand for the new model, including tokenized access to traditional markets. The increase in demand is also happening after Bitget enabled forex and gold trading for crypto users.

Bitget unveiled its TradFi platform as an extension of its universal exchange vision where users may swap between cryptos, commodities, forex and index as often as possible. The company believes there is change in managing wealth, with traders favoring platforms which integrate several asset classes.

Tokenized TradFi products have relatively low transaction fees. Hence, it continues to attract the attention of both retail and professionals traders.
