Bitget Q2 2026 Transparency Report

Overview

Tokenized real-world assets were a central theme in Q2, with Bitget rolling out new products and infrastructure designed to bring traditional financial markets closer to crypto-native users. The launch of Reality established the infrastructure for 1:1-backed tokenized equities and ETFs, while Stocks 2.0 expanded their role within Bitget's trading ecosystem. Stock+ extended this further into direct US equity ownership, and US stock options introduced more advanced strategies for users seeking broader exposure to equity markets.

Together, these developments marked a significant expansion of Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) framework, moving beyond access to individual asset classes toward a more connected financial environment spanning crypto, tokenized assets, and traditional markets. Beyond trading, Bitget also continued investing in the wider digital economy through its work with UNICEF, expanding education initiatives across financial literacy, AI, and blockchain as these technologies become increasingly relevant to the next generation.

Quarterly Highlights

Reality Establishes the Infrastructure for Verifiable Tokenized Markets

Bitget expanded the infrastructure supporting its Universal Exchange framework with Reality, an issuance platform for tokenized equities and ETFs represented onchain as rTokens. Each rToken is backed 1:1 by underlying shares held with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected U.S. broker-dealer, with independent Proof of Asset reporting designed to provide greater visibility into asset backing. Reality also maps corporate actions including dividends and stock splits to the corresponding tokenized positions. The launch creates a more structured bridge between traditional equity markets and crypto-native infrastructure, supporting Bitget's broader view that tokenization will increasingly become part of how global financial assets are issued, accessed, and traded.

Stocks 2.0 Brings Tokenized Equities Deeper Into the Trading Ecosystem

Bitget expanded its tokenized equity offering with Stocks 2.0, connecting stock tokens more directly with underlying equity market liquidity while broadening their use across the platform. Eligible assets support 1:1 economic mapping, with cash dividends credited in USDT and corporate actions reflected in token positions, while selected stock tokens can also interact with Bitget's unified account, margin, strategy and yield infrastructure. The upgrade moves tokenized equities beyond standalone market access toward becoming more functional assets within a broader trading ecosystem, reinforcing the UEX model of managing crypto and traditional market exposure through the same capital environment.

Stock+ Brings Direct US Equity Ownership Into the UEX Ecosystem

Bitget expanded its Stocks 2.0 ecosystem with the launch of Stock+, enabling users to purchase real US-listed shares using USDC and other digital assets. Unlike synthetic or derivative products, Stock+ provides ownership of underlying shares executed through regulated brokers, with eligible users receiving cash dividends and stock split adjustments while trading across US pre-market, regular and after-hours sessions. Stock+ extends Bitget's Universal Exchange framework from tokenized market access into direct equity ownership, further narrowing the operational gap between traditional brokerage services and crypto-native financial infrastructure.

US Stock Options Expand UEX Into Advanced Equity Trading

The launch of US stock options further expanded Stock+, introducing long call and long put strategies alongside its existing crypto, tokenized stock, and multi-asset products. The addition gives eligible users more ways to express directional views and manage market exposure around US-listed companies, while bringing another established Wall Street instrument into a crypto-native trading environment. Following Bitget's expansion across tokenized equities and pre-IPO products, stock options broaden the platform's equity market coverage and advance the UEX framework toward a more complete trading environment spanning different asset classes and investment strategies.

UNICEF Partnership Expands Into Financial Literacy and AI Education

Bitget entered the second year of its support for UNICEF's Game Changers Coalition as the initiative expanded its curriculum into financial literacy and AI, with blockchain education planned for 2026. The coalition has reached more than 642,000 young people, parents, and teachers across eight emerging economies, with girls representing 52% of participants. The next phase will extend both the programme's curriculum and geographic reach, reflecting a broader focus on equipping young people with practical skills for a financial and technological landscape increasingly shaped by AI, digital assets, and new forms of market infrastructure.

Bitget ecosystem in numbers

Multi-Asset Trading Deepens as Stocks Gain Momentum

Trading activity in Q2 showed users moving more actively between crypto and traditional asset classes, with precious metals frequently accounting for 40%-55% of daily volume on active market days and at times overtaking crypto. The clearest shift emerged in June, when stocks began taking a larger share of activity, rising from around 1% through much of April and May to above 3% on multiple days and peaking at 6.48% on June 23. Crypto's share fell as low as 39.8% during the quarter, while pronounced weekend rebounds toward 90%-99% highlight the role of 24/7 crypto markets when traditional markets are closed. The pattern suggests users are not simply moving away from crypto, but increasingly rotating capital across asset classes as market access expands, reinforcing the multi-asset trading behavior underpinning Bitget's Universal Exchange framework.

Platform Activity Remains Strong as Cross-Asset Participation Expands

The shift in trading behavior took place against sustained platform activity throughout the quarter. Bitget recorded $359.37 million in net inflows in April, ranking second globally among centralized exchanges tracked by DefiLlama, while average daily trading volume remained above $10 billion. Total platform assets reached $5.75 billion and open interest stood at $8.10 billion, providing the scale behind the cross-asset rotation seen throughout Q2. As users move between crypto, precious metals, and increasingly stocks, the data shows multi-asset participation becoming a more established part of activity on the platform.

Product and Integrations

Bitget further developed the AI layer of its Universal Exchange infrastructure in Q2, evolving beyond market assistance to support autonomous execution and more structured trading workflows. At the beginning of April, the launch of dedicated AI agent accounts enabled GetClaw to execute real trades within isolated account environments based on natural language instructions, monitor markets continuously, and manage positions within user-defined parameters. Building on GetAgent, GetClaw, and Agent Hub, Bitget later introduced GetAgent Playbook , the first user-facing implementation of Agent Harness, giving users access to ready strategy workflows that combine market analysis, execution logic, and risk controls within auditable, user-authorized sub-accounts. With over one million users completing AI-powered trades and more than $1.2 billion in cumulative AI trading volume, Bitget advanced toward an agent-native exchange model supporting insight, strategy deployment, and market participation.

Bitget also expanded crypto utility beyond trading through new payment integrations designed to make digital assets usable in everyday environments. In April, the exchange launched Bitget Card across selected APAC markets in partnership with Visa and DCS, allowing users to convert crypto into fiat for daily spending through familiar card payment rails. Extending the same utility into offline merchant payments, Bitget introduced Scan to Pay on Bitget Pay in May, enabling users in selected Southeast Asian and Latin American markets to spend USDT directly by scanning merchant QR codes through the Bitget App. Together, these launches broadened stablecoin and crypto usage from exchange balances into real-world payment flows, reducing off-ramp friction while connecting digital assets with existing local and global payment networks.

Across tokenized markets and TradFi markets access, Bitget continued deepening the product architecture behind its UEX model. In June, the exchange added 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs as eligible margin assets within its Unified Trading Account and Multi-Asset Mode for USDT-M Futures. This maximizes capital efficiency across multiple asset classes within a single account structure by allowing users to deploy assets such as rNVDA, rQQQ, and rSPY as collateral while trading futures. Bitget also launched the Stock Transfer Fast-Track Plan , giving users a more streamlined route to transfer existing US stock holdings from external brokers into Bitget Stock+ while retaining exposure to underlying equities. These developments followed Bitget’s broader expansion of stock-related services, including the listing of more than 500 spot stocks and ETFs and continued growth in tokenized stock access through regulated RWA infrastructure, further consolidating crypto assets, tokenized instruments, and traditional market exposure within a unified account experience.

Bitget Wallet

Crypto Payments Expand Into Everyday Use

Bitget Wallet extended stablecoin spending across three major regions this quarter. The Bitget Wallet Card expanded across Africa , letting users spend crypto via the card accepted by Mastercard merchants worldwide. In APAC, Bitget Wallet launched self-custodial payments to regional QR networks , enabling stablecoin spend across dozens of blockchains by scanning local merchant codes, bringing crypto into one of the world's most established scan-to-pay markets. And in Latin America, QR crypto payments expanded beyond Brazil into Argentina, Colombia, and Bolivia via local systems, letting users spend directly from self-custodial wallets while merchants settle through familiar local rails.

Bitget Wallet also broadened what users can pay with, adding support for 40+ assets for payments — including ETH, SOL, BNB, BGB, regional stablecoins, and ecosystem tokens — so users can spend without manually converting to stablecoins. To drive real-world adoption in emerging markets, Bitget Wallet launched a program with Stellar covering crypto cards, QR payments, and onchain transfers across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, targeting the gap between large stablecoin volumes and actual daily payment behavior.

Tokenized Assets Bring Global Markets Onchain

Bitget Wallet expanded its RWA offering to over 450 assets, anchored by major integrations. The addition of xStocks tokenized equities brought 130+ tokenized stocks and ETFs, giving users direct access to equities, commodities, and index-linked products within a self-custodial mobile interface. The integration of Hyperliquid HIP-3 onchain macro markets opened 24/7 access to RWA-linked spot and perpetual products across equities, ETFs, commodities, indexes, and selected pre-IPO assets, turning the wallet into a broader onchain market gateway where users can trade crypto and macro exposures side by side, without relying on traditional brokerage infrastructure. Bitget Wallet also upgraded its API for tokenized RWA trading , enabling partners to route market orders from any token into tokenized stocks and other RWAs. A Block Scholes benchmark report confirmed the routing engine's strong execution quality on large trades, reinforcing smart routing as core infrastructure for onchain trading at scale.

Prediction Markets Become a New Onboarding Layer

Bitget Wallet integrated Polymarket , bringing AI-powered prediction market access into its self-custodial mobile app and enabling users to trade on real-world event outcomes across sports, politics, and macro events. Alongside the integration, Bitget Wallet published a report on prediction markets as a crypto onboarding layer , finding that 60% of Polymarket's 857,000 active users had no prior onchain trading history — a signal that prediction markets are emerging as an application-led entry point into crypto, where users arrive through familiar real-world questions and engage with blockchain infrastructure mostly in the background.

Security: Updates, POR, and Protection Fund

Security remained a central focus for Bitget in Q2 2026, as the exchange continued to strengthen its safeguards amid a volatile market environment. The platform maintained a 1:1 Proof of Reserves (PoR) across all major assets, with average reserve ratios of 130% in April , 127% in May , and 123% in June , consistently above industry norms. This reflects Bitget's commitment to providing a transparent snapshot of platform balances across core assets amid continued global market volatility and cautious investor sentiment.

In parallel, Bitget's Protection Fund remained a core element of user security, valued at $479 million in April , $428 million in May , and $346 million in June. Although slight decreases tracked the overall market mood, the fund remained above average, reflecting an ongoing commitment to user protection and prudent fund oversight. Together, the PoR and Protection Fund strengthen Bitget's standing as one of the most transparent and financially secure UEXs.

On the main stage, CEO Gracy delivered a keynote on "Why Blockchain Changes Finance Completely", demonstrating how Bitget UEX solves real market friction by unifying crypto, gold, forex, and commodities into a single account. The strong response from the audience confirmed a massive market demand for this exact ecosystem simplicity.

Community engagement peaked at Obsidian Night, delivering a premium experience to all guests under the theme "Every Guest is a VIP at Bitget," further elevated by futuristic GetClaw AI robot performance. The exclusive gathering, The Alpha Night, facilitated high-level institutional dialogue among market makers, venture leaders, and projects. Together, these events reinforced Bitget's convergence of crypto and TradFi across both retail and institutional tiers.

Blockchain Forum 2026

Bitget headlined as a Sapphire Sponsor at Blockchain Forum Moscow 2026, showcasing a comprehensive "one-stop" trading solution for crypto, stocks, and gold to over 20,000 attendees. The activation extended well beyond the expo floor through a series of curated engagements — from an exclusive pre-party that fostered deep networking with top partners, to a dedicated "Trader DNA Lab" that offered immersive GetAgent discovery. Highlighting thought leadership, Bitget's representative participated in an industry panel to discuss global expansion strategies, while the brand actively supported the female founders through Pitch Slay—providing a high-visibility platform for innovators to pitch to top experts.

Bitget Research

Bitget Research Tracks the Evolution of the Universal Exchange

Throughout Q2 2026, Bitget Research published reports examining how user behavior, market structure and digital finance are evolving as trading expands beyond crypto. Its research focused on multi-asset participation, tokenization, Web3 employment, and security, providing the analytical foundation for Bitget's Universal Exchange strategy. Research conducted during the quarter showed that active users participating across two or more asset classes increased from under 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026, reflecting the growing convergence of crypto, stocks, commodities and other financial assets within a single trading ecosystem.

UEX Research Highlights the Rise of Multi-Asset Investing

Bitget's Universal Exchange research found that investor preferences continue to move beyond crypto-only portfolios. H1 2026 data showed that 52% of users held both stocks and crypto, 35% held gold or other precious metals, and 51% used AI-powered trading tools, highlighting the increasing demand for integrated access to multiple asset classes. These findings support Bitget's broader strategy of combining cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, equities, commodities, derivatives and AI tools within one unified trading platform.

Web3 Employment Report Identifies Talent Gap

Bitget Research also examined the state of Web3 employment through its blockchain careers report. The study found that 54% of aspiring Web3 professionals are unable to secure their first full-time role because of prior experience requirements, while 52% believe existing education remains too theoretical and lacks practical industry training. The findings highlight one of the industry's largest structural challenges as blockchain adoption accelerates and reinforces Bitget's continued investment in education initiatives aimed at preparing the next generation of Web3 professionals.

Anti-Scam Report Examines Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era

In partnership with SlowMist, Bitget Research released the Anti-Scam Report 2026: The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era, examining how scams are adapting as users participate across crypto, tokenized assets, stocks, CFDs, wallets and AI-powered investment tools. The report found that Bitget intercepted more than 150 million malicious requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and supported the recovery of $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraud between July 2025 and June 2026. It also documented the emergence of AI-generated personas, voice cloning, synthetic investment communities, wallet-draining attacks and increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns, highlighting the growing importance of security as digital finance becomes increasingly interconnected

Conclusion

Q2 2026 reflected the next phase of Bitget's Universal Exchange strategy, where the focus shifted from expanding multi-asset access to building the infrastructure that connects crypto and traditional financial markets. The launches of Reality, Stocks 2.0, Stock+, and US stock options extended Bitget's equity offering across tokenized assets, direct ownership, and derivatives, while continued investment in AI, unified accounts, and payment infrastructure further strengthened the connections between different asset classes. Together, these developments reflect a platform moving toward a more integrated financial ecosystem.

This evolution is increasingly reflected in how users participate across the platform. Trading activity continues to diversify beyond crypto into stocks, commodities, and other traditional assets, while Bitget Research points to growing multi-asset participation and stronger adoption of AI-powered trading tools. At the same time, continued investment in education, transparency, and security supports the broader transition toward a financial environment where users increasingly expect unified access across markets.

As Universal Exchange continues to evolve, Bitget will remain focused on expanding tokenized markets, strengthening connections between digital and traditional assets, and building infrastructure that enables users to trade, invest, and manage capital through a single, unified ecosystem. By aligning product development, market structure, and user behavior within one connected platform, Bitget continues to support the broader convergence of crypto and traditional finance.
