Bitget has confirmed the global rollout of its newly upgraded mobile application, marking a significant step in its evolution from a crypto-native exchange to what it calls a Universal Exchange (UEX) bridging digital assets and traditional financial markets.

The redesigned interface places crypto and traditional financial (TradFi) products side by side on the homepage, reflecting what the company describes as growing demand from traders who increasingly move between asset classes within a single session.

The upgrade follows Bitget’s January launch of TradFi trading and expands access to stock-linked products, foreign exchange (FX), indices, commodities, and precious metals such as gold (XAU) and silver (XAG), all settled in USDT.

The company says the layout is designed to reflect the convergence of crypto-native markets with conventional financial instruments.

Under the new structure, crypto products - including futures, spot, margin, onchain and earn services - are consolidated under a unified “Trade” tab to streamline navigation for active traders.

A separate TradFi tab provides access to global markets such as gold, FX, indices, stock perpetual contracts and real-world asset tokens.

Bitget’s strategy is rooted in what it describes as a “tokenized TradFi” thesis; the idea that crypto is shifting from a largely speculative asset class toward becoming global financial infrastructure.

The company notes that annual stock trading volumes, currently estimated between $100 trillion and $130 trillion, could rise to between $160 trillion and $200 trillion by 2030. It expects a growing share of stocks, credit instruments, funds and commodities to migrate onchain.

As tokenized stocks increasingly flow through crypto-market platforms, Bitget estimates exchanges could facilitate 20–40% of that volume.

The firm’s internal base case projects handling up to 40% of tokenized stock activity, translating to approximately $15 trillion to $30 trillion in tokenized-stock trading volume by 2030.

“Bitget is building for the trillion-dollar migration. As regulation matures and institutions bring products like treasuries onchain, the direction is clear - crypto is turning into the settlement layer for everyday finance,” said Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer at Bitget.

She added that the rebuilt product experience reduces trading steps by roughly 30% compared to typical industry journeys, with TradFi instruments accessible within a single click.

The exchange said it currently captures 89.1% of the global market share for Ondo’s tokenized stock tokens and recorded a peak daily trading volume of $6 billion in January 2026.

With the global deployment of the upgraded app, Bitget positions its UEX model as a practical example of how digital assets and traditional markets are increasingly operating within the same settlement framework, as tokenization continues to reshape capital markets.
