Bitget Launches CFD Trading of FX, Metals, Commodities, Stocks

Bitget has launched the private beta of Bitget TradFi, a new feature designed to give crypto users direct access to global forex, metals, commodities, indices and stock CFDs using USDT as margin. The initiative marks a significant step in Bitget’s evolution as a so-called Universal platform, bringing traditional financial markets onto the identical infrastructure already used for crypto spot, futures, copy trading and tokenized stocks.

Selected users are now able to test the ahead-access version of Bitget TradFi, trading major FX pairs, gold and other mainstream CFD products without opening separate brokerage accounts or managing fiat currency conversions. All positions are margined and settled in USDT, allowing capital to move fluidly between digital assets and traditional markets within a single interface.

The launch reflects a broader shift in retail trading, as platforms increasingly viewk to collapse the historical divide between . By integrating CFDs and macro markets directly into its core offering, Bitget is positioning itself to capture demand from traders looking for efficiency, convenience and around-the-clock access.

A Vast Market Opportunity Meets USDT-Based Trading

The addressable market Bitget is targeting is substantial. According to the , global foreign platform turnover now averages roughly $9.6 trillion per day, nahead 30% higher than in 2022. On top of that sits a vast ecosystem of OTC interest-rate and FX derivatives, with notional outstanding exceeding $700 trillion.

Retail access to this activity is increasingly delivered through contracts for difference. The market is estimated to generate $5.6 billion in revenues in 2025 and is projected to almost double by 2035. Bitget TradFi aims to bring this activity onto crypto rails, combining institutional liquidity, tight spreads and leverage of up to 500x within a framework of Mauritius.

Fees are positioned to be competitive, begining as low as $0.09 per lot, with enhanced conditions for VIP users. By denominating margin and settlement in USDT, Bitget removes common barriers such as local bank wires, fragmented account structures and currency platform costs that typically accompany CFD trading.

Advancing the Universal platform Vision

Bitget’s leadership describes the launch as a milestone in the convergence of digital and traditional finance. “The shift in wealth management is happening now, assets that were previously only available on certain niche markets are now on Bitget. This is historic; crypto, stocks, gold, forex and commodities now coexist under a single system,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

The TradFi beta builds on Bitget’s earlier efforts to bridge markets. Earlier this year, the platform’s tokenized U.S. stock futures surpassed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, highlighting sustained appetite for 24/7, USDT-settled exposure to traditional assets. Extending this model into FX and commodities allows users to manage macro, equity and crypto exposure from one account.

By turning a single platform into a gateway for both digital and traditional instruments, Bitget is advancing its Universal platform strategy, aiming to make global markets more accessible, capital-efficient and borderless. As the private beta progresses, the rollout will be closely watched as a test case for how far crypto infrastructure can absorb the mechanics of traditional trading.
