Similar trends were observed in the case of futures contracts, where market makers participated increased from 3% of volume at the beginning of the year to over 56.6% by mid-year. These developments coincide with record order book depth and flat spreads for major trading pairs including BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT and SOL/USDT, which now rival those of the world’s largest exchanges.

Order book depth and execution rates are now similar to those seen on other CEXs, and reported institutional volume on spot markets has increased from less than 40% to over 70%.

Even during periods of high volatility, these results demonstrate consistent order book depth, low price slippage and precise order execution.
Liquidity is the heart of any market, and institutional investors know that it is what distinguishes speculation from structure.” – assures Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Our evolution towards a Universal Exchange (UEX) is about providing these investors with more than just access; it is with confidence. We are building an ecosystem where institutions and retail investors operate on the same solid foundations – from order execution to asset custody.
The platform’s institutional lending and asset custody infrastructure has also expanded significantly. Bitget currently offers tailored lending programs providing up to USDT 10 million on flexible terms, cross-collateralization support for over 300 assets, and integration with major custody providers including Fireblocks, Copper and OSL.
Bitget’s transition to a universal exchange (UEX) model is a decisive step in the company’s development. By combining elements of centralized and decentralized finance, Bitget creates a unified platform for trading, investing and liquidity. The combination of deep order books, institutional tools and tokenized market access signals a broader transformation of crypto exchanges into full-fledged gateways to the world of finance.

Execution quality and liquidity are becoming the new standards of trust as shares of professional funds, corporate treasuries and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) grow.
