Bitget marked its eighth anniversary with a campaign offering more than 3 million USDT in combined rewards, including the 3 million USDT KCGI 2026 multi-asset trading contest and a separate 50,000 USDT pool for user trading stories. CEO Gracy Chen also reaffirmed the Universal Exchange, or UEX, strategy, which aims to combine cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, options and contracts for difference in one account, subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Bitget reported more than $10 billion in daily volume each for traditional-finance perpetual contracts and CFDs, non-crypto products accounting for as much as 40% of total trading volume, and more than 3 million rToken trades. The company expanded proof-of-reserves coverage from four cryptocurrencies to more than 20 assets; its August disclosure, the 45th consecutive monthly report since December 2022, showed a company-reported reserve ratio of 122%, not an independent full-balance-sheet audit. Bitget also reported 125 million users, more than 2,000 employees and increased institutional activity, while outlining further investment in execution, artificial intelligence, compliance and institutional services.
