Bitget CEO Gracy Chen shares four-point plan to becoming ‘holistic universal provider’ in H1 2026 address

Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has published CEO Gracy Chen’s mid-year address, outlining the company’s long-term vision for a more connected financial system powered by tokenization, artificial intelligence, and universal market access.

The leadership’s insights come as trading behavior continues to evolve beyond crypto alone. During the first half of 2026 the platform witnessed the shift, about 52% Bitget users now hold both stocks and crypto, 35% hold gold and other precious metals while 51% users use AI-powered tools. 

This highlights the growing demand for platforms that bring global markets together leveraging emerging tech. 

Bitget lays out plan to become universal tradihg venue 

Rather than becoming an “asset supermarket,” Bitget aims to remove the friction that separates financial markets. The letter outlines four principles guiding that strategy: 

• Improving capital efficiency
• Delivering global assets through a crypto-native experience
• Expanding financial access through products such as tokenized assets and pre-IPO investing
• Simplifying trading through AI-powered automation

“Our focus has pivoted from being a crypto exchange to a holistic universal provider,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Our platform removes barriers that divided financial markets for decades. Users can now access crypto, stocks, CFDs, gold and do more with their capital 24/7.”

Bitget’s conviction on tokenization reshaping capital markets is based on Chen’s 10% tokenization vision, while highlighting products such as Stock+ and Reality as early examples of how blockchain infrastructure can make investing more accessible and efficient.

Artificial intelligence forms the second major pillar of the vision. As AI evolves from analysis toward execution, Chen described a future where users define investment goals and risk parameters while intelligent systems handle market monitoring and trade execution. 

Bitget now serves more than one million AI trading users alongside more than one million copy trading users, following the rollout of products including GetClaw and the GetAgent Playbook.

Closing the address, Chen described Bitget’s broader mission as extending financial opportunity beyond traditional institutional channels, calling it the shift from banking the unbanked to brokering the unbrokered.

The exchange published the complete “Break the Unbreakables” address and a video of the message on its X page.
