VICTORIA, SEYCHELLES, February 9, 2026 — Bitget, the world’s largest universal exchange (UEX), today announced the release of a joint research report, “The UEX Security Standard: From Proof to Protection,” written with blockchain security company BlockSec. This report outlines a system-level security framework designed for exchanges operating across cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and traditional financial markets within a unified account environment.
As the trading platform evolves into the Universal Exchange, first created by Bitget CEO Gracy Chen to celebrate its 7th anniversary, security challenges expand beyond single asset custody and on-chain safeguards. Integrated margin systems, shared payments infrastructure, and cross-market access introduce new risks that can cascade across products and asset classes due to failures at the account, data, or authorization layers. This report addresses these challenges by moving the security conversation from isolated controls to continuous, verifiable resilience.
The UEX Security Standard defines five core benchmarks for next-generation exchange security. Verifiable solvency, multi-asset risk isolation, data security and privacy protection, AI-driven dynamic monitoring, and resilient application and infrastructure defense. These standards are intended to contain risk, verify accuracy, and ensure that trust scales with platform complexity.
This framework builds on measurable safeguards already in place at Bitget, including regular reserve proof reporting and a strong protection fund. These measures are enhanced through our collaboration with BlockSec, which spans real-time monitoring, aggressive security testing, incident response preparedness, and compliance grade management such as AML screening and funds tracking.
“Moving to a universal exchange changes the nature of security risks,” said Bitget CEO Gracy Chen. “Security can no longer be focused on individual assets or reactive disclosures. Security must operate at the system level, where risks are identified early, isolated by design, and validated under real-world conditions.”
From a BlockSec perspective, this report reflects a broader industry shift towards a unified security architecture. “UEX is not just a product upgrade; it is a structural change in how trading infrastructure and security must work,” said Yajin Zhou, co-founder and CEO of BlockSec. “Combining crypto-native assets with stocks, ETFs, and other off-chain instruments dramatically expands the security perimeter. Platforms must prove asset transparency, ensure price integrity, and secure off-chain dependencies to the same standards as on-chain systems. UEX is seeking a unified, verifiable security framework that can secure multi-asset transactions at scale.”
Beyond technical architecture, the report also emphasizes transparency, emergency preparedness, and user education as part of a comprehensive security model. This positions security not as a static function, but as an operational discipline that must evolve with market structure and product complexity.
The UEX report is intended to serve as a reference point for exchanges, regulators, and market participants navigating the next stage of multi-asset trading infrastructure.
