Bitget has released its Q3 2026 Transparency Report, revealing a combined trading volume of $1.86 trillion. The quarter saw activity expand across crypto derivatives, spot markets, and traditional financial products, driven by deeper liquidity and broader cross-asset trading capabilities.
Monthly combined volume rose 21.2% from July to September, with growth in every major category. Crypto derivatives climbed 31.5% to $409.19 billion, while crypto spot volume surged 65.7%. CFD trading expanded 39.7% to contribute $376.32 billion, making it the platform's largest non-crypto segment.
The growth was underpinned by enhanced liquidity, highlighted by the launch of Bitget's Cross-Asset Unified Account (UTA). This feature brings over 370 eligible assets, including more than 100 tokenized US stocks, into a shared margin framework with collateral valuation ratios up to 95%. Users can now use eligible tokenized equities as collateral across different trading products, offering greater capital flexibility.
Bitget also advanced its AI-powered trading tools, extending GetAgent Playbook to tokenized US equities. Additional developments included institutional pricing upgrades and the introduction of Cash Plus, a yield-generating stablecoin product.
“We’re seeing more traders move between crypto, stocks and traditional assets, and that’s why we are building a Universal Exchange,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Q3 showed strong growth, but it also reminded us that protecting our users must continue to remain our biggest priority as we expand.”
Independent research underscored Bitget's liquidity performance. TokenInsight ranked Bitget first among nine exchanges for combined BTC and ETH futures depth within 0.05% of market price, recording $41.6 million in liquidity. CoinGecko identified Bitget among the leading exchanges for BTC and ETH spot liquidity.
In tokenized equities, CryptoRank found Bitget's Reality recorded up to 58% lower simulated slippage on $50,000 orders than the next-lowest comparable venue. DeFiLlama reported a median bid-ask spread of 0.83 basis points and the deepest top-of-book liquidity across five markets evaluated.
Following a security incident on September 24, Bitget implemented containment and recovery measures, with user account balances unaffected. The company engaged Mandiant and SlowMist for an independent investigation and replenished its Protection Fund to over $300 million by September 30, ahead of schedule.
Bitget also strengthened its security infrastructure by introducing a circuit breaker mechanism, passing an independent SlowMist assessment, and increasing its security budget, while maintaining a Proof of Reserves ratio above 110%.
