Bitget has officially registered as a Financial Services Provider on New Zealand's Financial Service Providers Register (FSPR), marking a significant step in its efforts to broaden its multi-asset financial product suite. The registration encompasses a range of services, including foreign currency exchange, domestic and cross-border money transfers, client asset custody, portfolio and money management, and the execution of financial product or foreign exchange transactions on behalf of clients.
In addition to the FSPR registration, Bitget has joined the New Zealand Insurance and Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO) Dispute Resolution Scheme. This independent body provides an external channel for eligible customers to raise and resolve disputes related to participating financial service providers, adding a layer of consumer protection.
The move is part of Bitget's broader strategy to build the operational and compliance infrastructure necessary for its expanding range of financial products. These include traditional market instruments, foreign exchange services, and tokenized real-world assets. The company's Universal Exchange model aims to bring crypto assets, tokenized stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and other financial products into a single trading platform.
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized the importance of robust compliance structures in supporting a wider mix of assets and services. "Financial platforms need compliance structures that can support a wider mix of assets and services," she said. "The registration adds another layer to our international financial services framework as the platform continues connecting digital assets with established markets."
This registration aligns with Bitget's recent product developments, such as the Bitget Stocks 2.0 dual-track system that merges crypto and US equity trading, and the cross-asset account allowing 100 US stock tokens to serve as margin. The company has also enhanced its CFD trading with integrated copy trading and a tiered margin system, as detailed in this report.
Bitget continues to develop its services through registered entities and qualified partners across different jurisdictions, reinforcing its commitment to regulatory compliance and market expansion. The New Zealand registration is a key component of this global strategy, providing a solid foundation for the company's multi-asset ambitions.
