Bitget Brings Crypto, Stocks and TradFi Together in Unified Trading App

The update reflects Bitget’s ongoing pursuit of a “Universal Exchange” strategy, as the company looks to simplify how users navigate increasingly interconnected markets, for its global user base of approximately 120 million accounts.

The redesigned app aims to reduce fragmentation across asset classes and make it easier for traders to move between markets without friction, supported by an integrated navigation flow and a consolidated market overview. Users can now view performance metrics spanning digital and traditional markets, switch seamlessly between asset types, and engage in diversified strategies from one unified environment, rather than navigating multiple sections or external platforms.

The upgrade introduces several key components: a unified homepage with consolidated market indicators, enhanced portfolio tracking, expanded stock trading tools and a new traditional finance segment. Together, these changes signal a shift in how Bitget is positioning itself, marking a significant step in the platform’s evolution from a cryptocurrency-focused exchange to a broader multi-asset trading ecosystem.

The centerpiece of the upgrade is the unified interface, which presents essential data for crypto assets, tokenized equity products, on-chain holdings and traditional markets within a single dashboard. Bitget says the design is intended to help users maintain a clearer view of their overall exposure, allowing them to track portfolio value across categories, access sector-specific stock insights and respond to market movements without switching between disparate screens.

Bitget’s expanded Stocks section now features real-time data on sector trends, earnings calendars, and broader equity themes. The platform currently supports trading in over 100 on-chain stock tokens, tokenized representations of publicly traded companies, alongside more than 30 mainstream stock futures contracts. This setup allows users to gain exposure to major global equities such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and Alphabet, all margined in USDT and without the bureaucratic overhead typically associated with traditional brokerage accounts.

For professional and active traders, flexible leverage options, up to 25× on equity products and unified capital management tools across markets are intended to support differentiated strategies, ranging from hedging and portfolio balancing to more directional trading approaches.

Perhaps the most striking addition is Bitget’s expanded TradFi section, which anchors traditional asset classes such as forex pairs, precious metals, commodities, oil and major market indices into the same application interface used for digital-native products. While exact coverage varies by region and regulatory jurisdiction, Bitget is offering these TradFi instruments margined in USDT, with selected products providing leverage of up to 500×.

Bitget says the TradFi offerings operate under the regulatory oversight of the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, introducing a regulated framework for users accessing traditional markets through the platform. This regulatory framing may be of particular interest to institutional participants and retail users accustomed to compliance standards commonly associated with legacy financial systems.

This expansion builds on Bitget’s recent early-stage launch of its TradFi private beta, which provided crypto users access to Forex, metals, commodities and indices using USDT as margin, a structure designed to remove the need for separate brokerage relationships and bank-based settlement processes.

Bitget’s multi-asset vision, known as the Universal Exchange (UEX) framework, seeks to converge centralized and decentralized infrastructure, tokenized real-world asset access and traditional financial instruments within a single trading system. Company leadership has framed this approach as a response to how modern portfolios are increasingly managed, with crypto, equities and macro-linked assets playing overlapping roles.

Ignacio Franco, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget, said the upgrade is designed to address the growing complexity facing traders as more asset classes move on chain. “As more asset classes move on chain, the challenge for users is no longer access, but clarity,” Franco said. “This upgrade simplifies how traders discover, evaluate, and act across crypto, tokenized stocks, and traditional markets from a single interface. By reducing fragmentation at the product level, we’re making multi-asset trading more intuitive and aligned with how global investors actually manage capital today.”

This strategic direction follows a series of developments by Bitget in 2025. In its November Transparency Report, the company disclosed strong performance in tokenized equities, with cumulative U.S. stock futures volume surpassing $10 billion, and the exchange’s Bitcoin reserves climbing amid broader market volatility signals, Bitget says, of growing engagement with hybrid financial products.

Bitget’s unified app upgrade enters a competitive landscape where other exchanges are also moving toward integrated multi-market offerings. Several platforms have begun blending crypto, derivatives and tokenized assets, while traditional brokerages are exploring blockchain integrations as demand for digital-native financial instruments continues to grow.

Yet Bitget’s approach is distinctive in centralizing an on-chain and TradFi stack within a single mobile interface, spanning tokenized stocks, crypto markets, on-chain assets, and now mainstream forex and commodities, a level of consolidation that remains relatively rare at global scale.

Despite the momentum, this strategy also carries execution risk. Unified products require robust risk-management systems capable of handling cross-market volatility and leverage.

Bitget says additional enhancements and broader market support are planned as it continues to develop its multi-asset trading infrastructure. With this mobile upgrade, the company positions itself at the intersection of decentralized markets and traditional finance, offering users a single access point for navigating an increasingly complex global financial landscape.
