Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange, has launched two key initiatives to enhance market efficiency and accessibility. The first is an Institutional Financing Program offering interest-free loans of up to 2 million USDT to market makers focused on altcoins. This program runs from November 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, and allows qualified institutional participants to borrow funds by meeting only 50% of the standard trading volume thresholds, significantly lowering barriers for supporting smaller, less liquid altcoin markets.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized the importance of this move, stating, "Liquidity in smaller-cap tokens is essential for a healthy crypto market. By lowering the entry barrier for professional market makers, we're empowering them to operate more flexibly, deploy capital efficiently, and ultimately make altcoin markets more accessible and less volatile for all traders." The program targets professional quantitative trading firms and market makers specializing in altcoin pairs, as well as new institutional clients not enrolled in existing financing programs.
In a complementary effort, Bitget has introduced a limited-time zero-fee promotion for U.S. stock token trading, available from November 3, 2025, at 8:05 AM to December 6, 2025, at 7:59 AM (UTC+8). This initiative includes over 100 top stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon, with no transaction or gas fees. Chen noted, "Earnings season is when traders are most active, and we wanted to make this moment count. Removing all fees means users can focus purely on the markets they believe in."
These initiatives align with Bitget's broader strategy to strengthen liquidity across emerging digital assets and bridge traditional and digital markets through its Universal Exchange framework. By offering customized financing and fee-free trading, Bitget aims to foster more balanced liquidity conditions and advance crypto market maturity and stability.
