Introduction

October 2025 marked another defining chapter in Bitget’s evolution as the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX)— a platform seamlessly connecting CeFi, DeFi, and real-world assets. The month’s performance and milestones illustrated how UEX continues to mature as a universal financial architecture, blending liquidity, technology, and cultural influence.

From the rapid ascent of US Stock Futures, which surpassed $200 million in cumulative trading volume, to the release of the Bitget x Nansen report uncovering $23.1 billion in institutional liquidity inflows, Bitget continues to expand the scope of crypto’s integration into global markets. DefiLlama’s ranking of Bitget as the #2 global exchange by monthly inflows and CryptoQuant’s data showing a steady climb in Bitcoin reserves to 30.3K BTC reflect the trust and consistency underpinning this expansion.

At the same time, Bitget Wallet pushed the boundaries of Web3 usability by introducing multichain gas abstraction, HyperEVM integration, and Plasma cross-chain bridging — each simplifying user experience while maintaining Bitget’s security-first ethos. AI innovation also took center stage through GetAgent’s “Ask Satoshi” campaign, transforming the anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper into an interactive learning experience that united history, technology, and imagination.

Together, these developments highlight Bitget’s commitment to building not just a trading platform, but a unified digital ecosystem that empowers institutions, traders, and everyday users to interact across financial frontiers with ease and confidence.

Monthly Highlights

Bitget US Stock Futures Trading Volume Surpassed $200 Million

Bitget’s US stock futures continued their rapid ascent, surpassing $200 million in cumulative trading volume shortly after launch. The milestone reflects the growing appeal of tokenized US equities on Bitget, where users can access synthetic perpetual futures tied to globally recognized stocks such as Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Offering up to 25x leverage and low fees, the product line has quickly become a standout component of Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) vision. The surge also highlights rising trader interest in AI-driven tech stocks and seasonal earnings activity, positioning Bitget as one of the fastest-growing platforms for stock-linked derivatives within the digital asset space.

Bitget and Nansen Report Reveals $23.1B Institutional Liquidity Surge as UEX Redefines Market Access

Bitget and blockchain analytics firm Nansen jointly released a comprehensive report analyzing the accelerating shift of institutional capital into the digital asset market. The study uncovered a booming $23.1 billion increase in institutional liquidity flowing through Bitget, supported by enhanced market infrastructure, deepened liquidity partnerships, and the expansion of Bitget’s UEX architecture. The findings illustrate how hedge funds, market makers, and professional trading firms are increasingly leveraging Bitget for multi-asset execution across futures, spot, and tokenized markets.

Bitget GetAgent Lets You “Ask Satoshi” 17 Years Later

In celebration of the Bitcoin Whitepaper’s 17th anniversary, Bitget introduced a playful yet insightful new experience inside GetAgent: “Ask Satoshi.” For a limited time, users could pose philosophical, technical, and forward-looking questions to an AI-powered simulation of Bitcoin’s anonymous creator. The feature became a global hit, generating tens of thousands of questions across multiple regions as users explored topics ranging from Bitcoin’s original purpose to the future of decentralized money. Beyond its novelty appeal, the activation showcased GetAgent’s capabilities as an intelligent partner for learning and exploration. By bridging crypto history with AI-driven interaction, Bitget created a cultural moment that connected veteran believers and new adopters through curiosity, imagination, and innovation.

Growth in Data

Asset Inflow Leadership

In October 2025, Bitget ranked as the No.2 global exchange by monthly asset infow of 1.78 billion, with total reserves reaching $7.83 billion, according to DefiLlama’s CEX Transparency dashboard. The platform reported Bitget having $6.8 billion in clean assets, reflecting a steady reserve and underscoring Bitget’s ongoing commitment to transparency and robust asset backing. Despite a temporary net outflow of ~$127 million over the past week, monthly inflows just second to Binance, demonstrating consistent capital activity and user confidence in volatile conditions.

Independent data from Nansen’s Bitget and Institutional Crypto Adoption Report offers deeper context to the $23.1 billion liquidity surge highlighted this month. The study found that institutional trading volume on Bitget’s spot markets rose from 39.4% in January to 72.6% by July, while futures activity by institutional market makers climbed from 3% to 56.6% over the same period.

The report also ranked Bitget second globally in trading volume across major pairs (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE), recording $23.1 billion traded—surpassing Bybit, MEXC, and OKX. Liquidity metrics showed Bitget’s Amihud Illiquidity Ratio of 0.0014 and average bid-ask spread of 9.02 basis points, placing it firmly in the institutional-grade liquidity bracket.

Exchange Reserve Momentum Reflects Long-Term Strength

On-chain reserve data from CryptoQuant further illustrates Bitget’s structural resilience. The exchange’s Bitcoin reserves climbed from 28.6K BTC in September to 30.3K BTC in October, marking a 6% month-over-month increase and continuing the steady accumulation trend that began in Q2—contrasting starkly with the broader industry trend, where total BTC held across all exchanges fell from 2.6 million to 2.38 million BTC, reaching its lowest level in over five years.

The market-wide reserve contraction indicates users’ growing preference for self-custody and DeFi yield opportunities, yet Bitget’s growth defies this gravity by sustaining custodial trust and ecosystem participation. The exchange’s rising reserve balance amid an industry drawdown reflects its strategic focus on capital integrity, transparent auditing, and deep liquidity provisioning.

Top New Listings

Bitget expanded its listings in October with a focused selection of high-impact projects across AI, DeFi, liquidity infrastructure, and next-generation yield protocols, reinforcing its role as a launch venue for the most promising innovations in Web3.

Apriori (APRIORI) followed as an AI-powered evaluation engine that scores digital assets using onchain activity and behavioral data, giving traders clearer, insight-driven decision support.

In DeFi, Meteora (MON) entered the Innovation & DeFi Zone as one of Solana’s leading liquidity automation platforms, offering programmable vaults and adaptive yield strategies for efficient liquidity provisioning. Rounding out the month, YieldBasis (YB) joined the Innovation Zone with a capital-efficient yield protocol designed to optimize returns for core assets like BTC and ETH through engineered liquidity and structured yield mechanisms.

These listings showcase Bitget’s continued focus on bringing forward meaningful, utility-driven projects across AI, identity, liquidity, and DeFi, strengthening the exchange’s position at the forefront of the evolving Web3 landscape.

Conclusion

October 2025 reaffirmed Bitget’s momentum as the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX) — where institutional depth, retail engagement, and onchain innovation converge within one ecosystem. The release of the joint Bitget x Nansen report offered compelling proof of this transformation, revealing that institutional trading on Bitget’s spot markets grew from 39.4% in January to 72.6% by July, while futures participation by market makers rose from 3% to 56.6%. With $23.1 billion in institutional trading volume and one of the tightest liquidity profiles in the industry, marked by an Amihud Illiquidity Ratio of 0.0014 and average bid-ask spread of just 9 basis points, Bitget has clearly established itself as a preferred execution venue for professional capital.

Beyond liquidity metrics, October’s milestones show how UEX is evolving into a full-spectrum financial infrastructure. The surge in US Stock Futures above $200 million in volume demonstrates growing interest in tokenized assets and cross-market exposure, while DefiLlama’s ranking of Bitget as the No. 2 exchange globally by monthly inflows reflects sustained retail confidence. Rising reserves, now 30.3K BTC, highlight a rare combination of institutional credibility and user trust in an environment where overall exchange reserves have been shrinking.

The expansion of Bitget Wallet through multichain gas abstraction, HyperEVM integration, and Plasma bridging reinforces Bitget’s mission to simplify onchain access and drive everyday usability for Web3. Meanwhile, cultural and educational initiatives, from the UNICEF Game Jam to the AI Accelerate Hack with Google Developer Group, underscore Bitget’s commitment to shaping the next generation of blockchain talent.

As the company heads into the final quarter of 2025, its trajectory is clear: UEX is no longer a vision but a realized model of interoperable finance. By merging institutional liquidity, transparent reserves, and cross-chain accessibility, Bitget continues to redefine what a modern exchange can be, not just a platform for trading, but the cornerstone of a universal financial ecosystem built on transparency, intelligence, and inclusion.
