Bitget TradFi surpasses $2 billion in daily trading volume amid a sharp surge in gold trading activity

The world’s largest universal exchange (Universal Exchange, UEX), Bitget, recorded more than $2 billion in daily trading volume in the Bitget TradFi segment, marking a major milestone since the service’s public launch on January 5.

This result reflects rapidly growing demand for access to traditional financial markets on the platform as a hedging tool amid heightened volatility. Over the past 72 hours, the most actively traded instruments have been gold (XAUUSD), the Dow Jones index (US30), the Nasdaq 100 index (NAS100), silver (XAGUSD), and the EUR/USD currency pair.

The sharp increase in trading activity confirms strong market demand for Bitget TradFi, which enables crypto-focused traders to participate in global markets through a single, familiar trading interface. This momentum illustrates how the UEX model is evolving into a full-fledged real-time gateway, integrating more than 2 million on-chain tokens, tokenized stocks, indices, currencies, commodities, and precious metals, including gold.

Since launch, gold (XAUUSD) has emerged as the most traded instrument on Bitget TradFi, ranking first by volume. This underscores gold’s role not only as a highly liquid safe-haven asset but also as a tactical instrument for capitalizing on short-term price movements.

The news backdrop has pushed markets into a risk-off mode, driving capital flows into gold and silver. Meanwhile, oil is holding near the $60-per-barrel level, containing short-term inflationary pressure, despite markets pricing in risks of supply disruptions and tighter financial conditions, said Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research.

On-chain positioning remains supportive: exchange balances continue to decline, ETF inflows are stabilizing and improving, and stablecoin liquidity remains high. Taken together, these factors point more toward accumulation and base-building for recovery on higher timeframes than toward mass capitulation, the expert added.

Bitget TradFi was initially designed as an event-driven trading environment providing short-term access to global financial instruments. Reaching $2 billion in daily TradFi trading volume highlights Bitget’s success in lowering the barriers traditionally associated with accessing traditional markets. This achievement fully aligns with UEX’s strategy of building a unified platform where users can seamlessly move between markets and access global assets without geographical restrictions.

“A fundamental shift in capital management is happening right now,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Users are moving away from platforms with high fees and complex brokerage infrastructure toward solutions like ours, where global assets are accessible in one place. Tokenized TradFi instruments — gold, currencies, and equities — are now traded on Bitget with some of the lowest fees in the world.”
