Bitget, the world’s largest universal exchange (UEX), announced on January 21 that Bitget TradFi’s daily trading volume reached a record high of $4 billion. This rapid acceleration highlights a clear shift in trader behavior, as crypto-native users increasingly rely on traditional assets to weather global market volatility within a familiar environment.
The speed of growth is remarkable. After Bitget TradFi’s daily trading volume exceeded $2 billion for the first time on January 8, activity doubled in two weeks, reflecting strong and sustained demand for access to metals, commodities, indices, and currencies on the platform. Rather than treating TradFi as a side feature, users incorporate it directly into their trading strategies, fluidly moving between crypto and global markets in response to real-time events.
Gold CFDs (XAUUSD) continues to dominate activity, ranking as the most actively traded instrument on Bitget TradFi. This data suggests that traders are using gold as a fast-moving, event-driven instrument rather than a passive store of value. The surge in volume is largely in line with macro headlines, reinforcing gold’s role as a tactical tool for short-term positioning during periods of uncertainty.
Bitget TradFi is built for this environment, allowing users to trade the world’s assets with crypto-level speed and flexibility, turning macro events into pressing opportunities. Traders can move from Bitcoin to gold and altcoins to indexes within a single account, without changing platforms or workflows. The result is a unified trading experience designed for event-driven markets.
This milestone reflects Bitget’s broader UEX vision of bringing together digital assets and traditional markets under one roof. As crypto traders increasingly focus on global macro signals beyond on-chain volatility, Bitget TradFi has emerged as a bridge that enables those changes to be implemented in real-time. The surge in daily trading volumes exemplifies this shift, showing how the demand for multi-asset trading is reshaping the way crypto native users engage with global markets.
