Cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget has launched a private beta of Bitget TradFi, a new cross-market trading feature allowing users to trade in other assets.
The new feature allows crypto users to access foreign exchange, metals, commodities, indices, and stock contracts for difference (CFDs) using the USDT stablecoin (Tether) as margin. The beta is available to a limited group of selected users.
The new feature is designed to integrate traditional financial instruments into Bitget’s existing trading platform, which currently supports spot and futures trading, copy trading, and tokenized stocks.
By settling all positions in USDT, Bitget TradFi removes the need for separate brokerage accounts, bank transfers, or currency conversions.
The launch comes as global activity in traditional financial markets continues to grow.
According to the Bank for International Settlements (BiS), daily global foreign exchange turnover has reached approximately $9.6 trillion, an increase of nearly 30% since 2022.
Retail participation in these markets is increasingly facilitated through CFDs, with the global CFD brokerage market projected to generate $5.6bn in revenue in 2025 and nearly double by 2035.
Bitget TradFi enables users to trade major FX pairs, gold, and other CFD products from a single interface.
The platform offers leverage of up to 500x and access to institutional liquidity, with trading regulated under the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius. Fees start at $0.09 per lot, with discounted rates available to higher-tier users.
Gracy Chen, chief executive officer of Bitget, said the launch reflects a broader shift toward integrating digital and traditional assets within a single trading environment.
The rollout follows earlier efforts by Bitget to bridge cryptocurrency and traditional markets. Earlier this year, the exchange reported that cumulative trading volume for its tokenized US stock futures exceeded $10bn, indicating demand for continuous, USDT-settled exposure to traditional assets.
Bitget said the TradFi feature expands this approach beyond equities into foreign exchange and broader CFD markets, allowing users to move capital between digital assets and traditional instruments within one platform.
