Bitget Reports $1.86 Trillion in Q3 Trading Volume as Crypto and TradFi Activity Grows
Bitget recorded $1.86 trillion in combined trading volume in the third quarter of 2026, with activity increasing across crypto derivatives, spot markets, and traditional financial products. The exchange’s latest transparency report highlights growing cross-asset trading activity, expanded liquidity, and new tools designed to connect crypto and traditional finance.
According to the Q3 2026 Transparency Report, combined monthly trading volume increased by 21.2% between July and September. Crypto derivatives volume grew 31.5% to $409.19 billion, while spot trading volume rose 65.7%. CFD trading expanded 39.7%, reaching $376.32 billion during the quarter and becoming Bitget’s largest non-crypto trading category.
Bitget Expands Cross-Asset Trading Through Unified Account
The growth in trading activity coincided with the launch of Bitget’s Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA), which brings more than 370 eligible assets, including over 100 tokenized US stocks, into a shared margin framework.
The account supports collateral valuation ratios of up to 95%, allowing eligible tokenized equities to be used as collateral across different trading products. The feature is designed to give users greater flexibility in managing capital across asset classes.
Bitget also extended its AI-powered GetAgent Playbook to tokenized US equities. Other product developments during the quarter included institutional pricing upgrades and the launch of Cash Plus, a stablecoin product offering yield.
“We’re seeing more traders move between crypto, stocks and traditional assets, and that’s why we are building a Universal Exchange (UEX),” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Q3 showed strong growth, but it also reminded us that protecting our users must continue to remain our biggest priority as we expand.”
Independent Research Highlights Bitget’s Liquidity
Several third-party reports also pointed to Bitget’s liquidity performance across crypto and tokenized equities.
TokenInsight ranked the exchange first among nine platforms for combined BTC and ETH futures depth within 0.05% of market price, recording $41.6 million in liquidity. CoinGecko also identified Bitget among the leading exchanges for BTC and ETH spot liquidity.
In tokenized equities, CryptoRank reported that Bitget’s Reality platform recorded up to 58% lower simulated slippage on $50,000 orders compared with the next-lowest comparable venue. DeFiLlama reported a median bid-ask spread of 0.83 basis points and the deepest top-of-book liquidity across the five markets it evaluated.
Bitget Details Security Measures Following September Incident
The report also addressed the security incident disclosed on September 24. Bitget said it implemented containment and recovery measures, adding that user account balances remained unaffected.
The exchange engaged Mandiant and SlowMist to support an independent investigation. It also replenished its Protection Fund to more than $300 million by September 30, ahead of its original commitment.
Additional measures included the introduction of a circuit breaker mechanism, an independent assessment by SlowMist, and an increased security budget. Bitget also reported that its Proof of Reserves ratio remained above 110%.
