Bitget has rolled out new markets that give crypto traders direct access to traditional assets, after a private beta and a subsequent move into public testing. Delivered under a TradFi module, the expansion adds gold, major and exotic forex pairs, commodities and stock CFDs to broaden trading options for its existing user base.
The new offering covers multiple TradFi instruments accessible through Bitget’s unified interface, placing major and minor forex pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/JPY alongside exotic pairs. Precious metals include spot-style exposure to Gold (XAU/USD), while commodities comprise energy benchmarks like Crude Oil (WTI, Brent) and other raw materials.
The platform also provides access to global indices including the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and NASDAQ, together with Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on prominent corporate shares such as Apple, Amazon and Tesla. The rollout integrates with established trading technology to accommodate these instruments within the same workflow used for crypto trading.
Trades on the TradFi offering are margined and settled in USDT. USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and is used here as the platform’s margin and settlement medium to avoid fiat conversions.
Features, market mechanics and risks
Leverage is available up to 500x on certain major forex pairs, with lower limits for other asset classes; such leverage magnifies both gains and losses and raises liquidation risk. The platform includes a hedging mode that permits holding simultaneous long and short positions on the same instrument, enabling traders to offset exposure without closing existing positions. Transaction costs are presented as competitive and transparent, with forex fees beginning from $0.09 per lot.
Bitget positions the move as part of a wider strategy toward a Universal Exchange (UEX) model that blends tokenized assets and traditional markets. The exchange has secured regulatory approval in jurisdictions such as Georgia, which the company cites as part of its compliance footprint in Europe.
The platform is not available to US customers for any of its services, a restriction tied to local regulatory constraints involving agencies like the SEC and CFTC. Prospective users are advised to consult Bitget’s terms of service and their local regulatory framework to confirm eligibility and compliance requirements.
Bitget’s TradFi expansion converts crypto-native liquidity and workflows into access to traditional markets, while preserving crypto settlement mechanics.
