Bitget says non-crypto assets neared 40% of peak trading volume in H1 2026

A Bitget executive said UEX is centered on asset efficiency, crypto-native access to global markets, broader Pre-IPO access and lower trading friction, alongside strong uptake in non-crypto products.

Summary

Bitget said user behavior shifted structurally in the first half of 2026 as traders broadened beyond digital assets into stocks, precious metals and AI-assisted strategies, while the company also used a community speech to frame UEX around wider market access and trading efficiency. In the speech, an executive said non-crypto assets recently reached nearly 40% of Bitget’s total trading volume at peak, CFD daily volume exceeded $10 billion, and 52% of users held both stocks and crypto. The presentation positioned UEX around asset efficiency, crypto-native access to global assets, broader access to Pre-IPO opportunities and lower trading friction. It also cited IPO Prime projects preSPCX and preOPAI as delivering about 30% to 50% returns in one to two months.
