Bitget has been recognized in CoinDesk’s latest Market Data Deep-Dive report for its breakout performance across derivatives volume, institutional adoption, and liquidity strength, cementing its role as one of the leading global crypto exchanges.
Between November 2023 and June 2025, Bitget handled $11.5 trillion in cumulative derivatives volume, ranking among the world’s top four exchanges. Average monthly activity reached $750 billion in 2025, with nearly 90% of flows coming from derivatives. Even during slower market conditions, the exchange has maintained significant trading momentum.
Institutional Participation Expands
Bitget’s user base is rapidly shifting toward institutions. In the first half of 2025, 80% of spot volumes and 50% of derivatives volumes came from institutional traders, doubling assets under management this year alone.
CoinDesk attributes this rise to Bitget’s upgraded offerings, such as its Liquidity Incentive Program, institutional lending suite, and upcoming unified margin system.
“We’ve been deliberate about how we scale, we deliver world-class products, and provide one of the strongest security infrastructures,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “This report validates what we’ve known internally: institutions are here, and they choose to trust Bitget.”

BGB Token Emerges as a Core Asset
The exchange’s native token, BGB, ranked as the third-most traded spot asset behind BTC and ETH. In May, BGB helped push Bitget’s spot market share to a record 5.2%.
Combined, BTC, ETH, and BGB accounted for 44% of all spot trading activity on the platform, signaling stable institutional demand.
Liquidity Leadership Across Assets
Bitget ranked as the number one exchange for ETH and SOL spot depth, and second for BTC, outperforming several major competitors. For $100K BTC trades, the exchange recorded an average slippage of just 0.0074%, placing it among the top three globally for execution quality.
The CoinDesk report also noted Bitget’s April 2025 Onchain launch, which fueled a 32% month-on-month rise in spot volumes. The exchange further established dominance in XRP derivatives open interest and led activity in both Layer-1 and memecoin markets.
