45.5% year-on-year annual growth propels Bitget into top six crypto exchanges worldwide

- Bitget recorded 45.5% year-on-year trading volume growth in 2025, climbing to sixth place among global centralized crypto exchanges with a 6.4% market share.
- The exchange’s growth is linked to its shift toward a “Universal Exchange” model combining crypto with TradFi assets like FX, commodities, indices, and tokenized stocks.
- CEO Gracy Chen credited strong security infrastructure, scalability, and user trust as key drivers behind Bitget’s expansion.
According to the latest Market Share of Centralized Crypto Exchanges by Trading Volume report by CoinGecko, Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) recorded a 45.5% year-over-year increase in trading volume growth and secured the sixth spot in global market share among centralized crypto exchanges at the close of 2025.
The report, widely referenced as an industry benchmark, ranks exchanges based on annual trading volume and share relative to the global centralized exchange landscape.
Bitget’s 6.4% market share at the end of 2025 reflects significant momentum, driven by its innovative product suite. Bitget’s strong showing in this independent research highlights the exchange’s expanding footprint and competitive differentiation in the digital asset trading landscape.
Bitget’s CEO attributes growth to security and scale
“We’re proud to see Bitget’s continued growth reflected in CoinGecko’s report,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The trust community has placed in us is attributed to the security we’ve built over the years, holding one of the largest market shares in crypto means we build to scale and with UEX we see this come into real life.”
Over the past year, Bitget accelerated its transition toward a Universal Exchange model, expanding beyond crypto-native markets into multi-asset trading. This included the beta rollout of Bitget TradFi, enabling users to trade commodities, indices, FX, and metals such as gold alongside crypto derivatives, as well as the expansion of tokenized stock futures, which saw strong uptake during global earnings cycles.
These additions complemented Bitget’s core strengths in spot and derivatives liquidity, allowing traders to respond to macro events without leaving a crypto-native environment.
Platform positions for continued growth in 2026
CoinGecko’s report also places Bitget’s performance within a broader trend of users gravitating toward platforms that combine depth, flexibility and resilience. As trading activity increasingly spans crypto, macro assets, and on-chain products, exchanges capable of supporting this convergence are capturing a growing share of market attention.
Bitget plans to build on its growth trajectory with an expanded product suite, enhanced trading infrastructure, and ongoing investments in community trust and platform reliability as it progresses in 2026.
The company made considerable strides in 2025, serving over 125 million users by offering them access to millions of crypto tokens, over 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX, and precious metals such as gold. It has worked actively to increase crypto and blockchain adoption via its partnerships with LALIGA and MotoGP™, as well as UNICEF, which it partners with to support blockchain education for over 1 million people by 2027.
