Bitget, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges and Web3 companies, has been highlighted in CoinDesk’s latest Market Data Deep-Dive for its growing institutional adoption and leadership in liquidity across major cryptocurrencies, as reported to Finbold on August 28.
Derivatives volume rank Bitget among the top four global exchanges
Between November 2023 and June 2025, Bitget processed a cumulative $11.5 trillion in derivatives trading volume, placing it among the top four global exchanges.
Average monthly volumes reached $750 billion in 2025, nearly 90% of which came from derivatives. Even amid subdued market conditions, the report noted that Bitget has emerged as a structurally important venue characterized by scale, consistency, and rising institutional participation.
In the first half of 2025, institutions accounted for 80% of spot trading and 50% of derivatives volume on Bitget, contributing to a doubling of assets under management. CoinDesk attributed this shift to Bitget’s upgraded offerings, including its Liquidity Incentive Program, institutional lending products, and an upcoming unified margin system.
The report also highlighted the performance of Bitget’s native BGB token, which ranked as the third-most traded spot asset after Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). BGB helped drive the exchange’s spot market share to a record 5.2% in May, with BTC, ETH, and BGB together making up 44% of total spot activity.
On liquidity, Bitget was ranked the top exchange for ETH and Solana (SOL) depth, and second for BTC spot liquidity within 1% of the mid-price. Average slippage for $100,000 Bitcoin trades was recorded at 0.0074%, placing the exchange among the top three globally for execution quality.
“We’ve been deliberate about how we scale, we deliver world-class products, and provide one of the strongest security infrastructures. From retail to institutional, people are looking for quality and safety,” said Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer at Bitget. “This report validates what we’ve known internally: institutions are here, and they choose to trust Bitget.”
CoinDesk further noted that Bitget’s launch of its Onchain platform in April 2025 helped boost spot volumes by 32% month-on-month. The report also pointed to Bitget’s leadership in XRP derivatives, strong presence across Layer-1 and memecoin markets, and its hybrid on-chain/off-chain liquidity model.
