Bitget reported a new record of over $2 billion in daily trading volume on its Bitget TradFi platform, just days after its public rollout on January 5. The most traded markets in the first 72 hours were Gold (XAUUSD), Dow Jones (US30), Nasdaq 100 (NAS100), Silver (XAGUSD), and Euro FX (EURUSD).
Gold has been the top traded pair by volume, which lines up with what we usually see when markets turn cautious and investors lean into liquid hedges. Bitget’s team also noted that recent headlines have pushed a more risk-off mindset, with flows moving into gold and silver, while broader positioning data suggests investors are still in accumulation mode rather than full capitulation.
Bitget’s CEO Gracy Chen described this as part of a larger shift in wealth management, where more investors want easier access to global assets without the typical friction of traditional platforms. The idea is to offer short-term access to instruments like precious metals, indices, and FX through a single trading setup with competitive fees.
Has anyone here tried it yet, especially for gold or index exposure? Curious how it compares to using a traditional broker in terms of execution and overall experience.
