Bitget Wins First CFD Industry Award as UEX Strategy Gains Momentum

Victoria, Seychelles, June 3, 2026 — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has been recognized as the Best Global Multi-Asset Trading Platform at the Online Trading Expo, marking the company's first award in the contracts-for-difference (CFD) sector and reflecting its growing expansion beyond crypto markets.

The recognition comes as Bitget continues building its Universal Exchange model, which brings together crypto assets, CFDs, tokenized stocks, commodities, precious metals, and emerging real-world asset products within a single trading ecosystem.

During the event, Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, delivered a keynote focused on the future relationship between blockchain and traditional finance, arguing that blockchain's role is not to replace existing financial markets but to improve how they operate.

"Bitget started as a crypto exchange. Today, we are gradually becoming a true Universal Exchange," said Gracy during her keynote. "The future of finance will not be built around choosing between traditional assets and digital assets. It will be built around making access to all markets simpler, more efficient, and more connected."

Gracy highlighted what she sees as a growing gap in today's multi-asset trading landscape. Established platforms often benefit from deep liquidity and large user bases but can struggle with fragmented workflows and limited innovation, while newer entrants may offer flexibility but face questions around scale and trust.

Bitget's approach has been to combine the security and operational standards developed through its crypto business with a broader multi-asset product offering. The platform currently serves more than 125 million users globally and supports access to crypto, CFDs, tokenized equities, commodities, forex markets and AI-powered trading tools.

The award follows a period of rapid expansion across Bitget's TradFi product suite. Earlier this year, Bitget reported that non-crypto assets accounted for as much as 40% of platform trading activity on some trading days, while gold CFDs helped drive the platform's CFD volume to record highs. The company has also expanded into pre-IPO products and recently introduced Reality, its regulated real-world asset issuance platform.

"Security gets users through the door, but experience is what makes them stay," Chen said. "The goal is not simply to add more products. It is to create one place where users can access global opportunities without moving between multiple platforms, accounts, and ecosystems."

The recognition at Online Trading Expo marks another milestone in Bitget's broader UEX strategy as the company continues expanding its presence across both digital and traditional financial markets.
