Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has achieved a remarkable $750 billion average monthly trading volume during the first half of 2025, driven primarily by surging institutional participation. Institutional traders now account for 80% of spot trading and 50% of derivatives trading on the platform, marking a significant shift in market dynamics.
The exchange has risen to become one of the top four global exchanges for derivatives volume, with derivatives accounting for approximately 90% of its total trading activity. Bitget has also achieved the second-highest BTC liquidity ranking worldwide, underscoring its growing market presence.
Bitget Managing Director Gracy Chen attributed this growth to institutional trust, stating: "We are grateful to our institutional partners for the trust and commitment to Bitget as we continue to build a secure, highly liquid, and innovation-driven trading environment."
The surge in institutional activity has significantly boosted Bitget's assets under management and enhanced liquidity for major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the platform's native BGB token. The exchange's institutional-focused features such as enhanced lending services and unified account structure have been key drivers of this growth.
