Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has announced a major integration with the Solana blockchain network. This partnership, announced via Solana's official X account, fundamentally changes how Solana-based tokens reach users. Through Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) platform, every token on the Solana blockchain becomes instantly tradable to Bitget's user base, which reportedly reached 100 million in January 2025.
The integration eliminates the traditional, often lengthy and costly, token listing process that projects typically undergo to be available on centralized exchanges. This means new and existing Solana tokens gain immediate exposure to a massive pool of liquidity and users without requiring individual approval from the exchange. The move is positioned as a bridge between on-chain trading and centralized exchange accessibility, emphasizing user-friendly access, liquidity, and security.
This development is part of a broader trend for Solana, which is securing significant partnerships aimed at mass adoption. Recent collaborations include Blockworks, which is using Solana to launch an institutional investor relations platform called Lightspeed IR. Furthermore, JPMorgan utilized Solana to build a US Commercial Paper (USCP) token for Galaxy Digital's on-chain debt raise, an issuance purchased by Coinbase and Franklin Templeton. Coinbase itself has unveiled a new on-chain trading feature allowing direct trading on the Solana network.
Bitget has been actively expanding its blockchain integrations and services, recently partnering with Shiba Inu for a branded payment card and integrating Chainlink's Proof of Reserve for its wrapped Bitcoin token, BGBTC. Despite these positive developments, Solana's native token, SOL, has not seen an immediate price surge, trading down 2% at approximately $133.5 at the time of reporting.
