Introduction

No one dislikes the story of an underdog's rise.

On March 28, 2026, Chinese motorcycle manufacturer "Zhang Xue Motorcycle" won the World Superbike Championship (WSBK).

The thrill lies not only in the nearly 4-second absolute lead but also in the names left behind: Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha... For the past 37 years, the WSBK championship trophy has never left these European, American, and Japanese brands.

This is yet another perfect example of "overtaking in a curve," reaffirming:

The more a race is dominated by strong competitors, the more variables tend to be overlooked.

This phenomenon is also worth examining seriously in another arena.

Over the past decade, the power structure of cryptocurrency exchanges has never truly shaken, and the vast majority of attention has continuously focused on just a few giants. As more platforms aim to break traditional CEX boundaries and incorporate more TradFi assets like US stocks, gold, and oil into their trading systems, are more people starting to notice:

It was Bitget that first set the strategic goal of a fully asset trading platform and proposed the concept of the "UEX Universal Exchange."

Interestingly, Bitget has deep ties to motorcycles: Bitget is not only a regional partner of another top motorcycle event, MotoGP, but also immediately launched the "Salute to Brave Dream Pursuers, Trade to Win Zhang Xue Motorcycle" series of activities after Zhang Xue Motorcycle's victory. Such a natural affinity for the spirit of challenge may not be a coincidence.

If Zhang Xue Motorcycle's rise reminds the world to reassess the possibilities beyond powerhouses, then in the exchange arena, is Bitget looking to replicate the "Zhang Xue script" by betting on the UEX route?

To thoroughly understand this issue, perhaps we should first discuss the UEX.

Trading Freedom, Trapped in 72 Apps

Zhang Xue Motorcycle's success stems from the founder's knowledge and persistence in motorcycles, while Bitget's choice of UEX as a strategic direction comes from in-depth insights into trading users' needs.

Not sure when it started, users have increasingly resembled traffic chips trapped in the app matrix: it's not that traders have too few tools, but rather that the entrances are too fragmented.

Crypto KOL @oxtochi once tweeted:

I am definitely not the only person with 72 crypto-related apps on my phone.

This post received hundreds of likes and sparked a flurry of resonating replies in the comments.

Another crypto KOL, @Defi_Scribbler, recently shared a ranking of his 45 most commonly used apps based on actual usage frequency, covering exchanges, data monitoring, social media news, and more.

Behind the complexity lies a structural dilemma for the entire trading community.

On one hand is the anxiety of information asymmetry; the market changes rapidly, and missing a piece of news may mean missing a trade, so you need more data sources, more analytical tools, and more information channels.

On the other hand is the fragmentation of trading behaviors; different platforms support different assets, and on-chain operations require clarity on various wallet, bridge, and chain requirements.

Now, this dilemma is worsening: geopolitical conflicts intensify, bringing gold and safe-haven assets onto traders' radars; the explosion of AI tools sees everyone scrambling to connect to the latest analytical models; the main battleground for investments shifts, with the correlation between crypto assets and traditional finance continuing to rise.

You are no longer just a "crypto trader"; you need to monitor on-chain data, macroeconomics, geopolitical news, AI signals, all while juggling dozens of apps, playing multiple roles on various fronts.

The more apps there are, the more distracted attention becomes, and the greater friction in trading.

The root of the problem lies in the fact that this previous infrastructure was never designed for "fully asset traders" from the beginning.

Demolishing the walls that stand before traders and rebuilding a wall-free market.

This is the critical opportunity for Bitget to first propose the UEX (Universal Exchange) concept:

To create a super gateway that allows users to connect global assets within one app and one account.

Continuously Breaking Walls Until a "Panoramic" Shape Emerges

So, how is Bitget "breaking walls"?

With the core philosophy of "the simpler, the freer," this is a reconstruction starting from the foundation, pouring a new infrastructure for "fully asset traders."

First Wall: Global Asset Trading Freedom

Connecting the worlds of CeFi, DeFi, and TradFi.

Bitget Onchain serves as a super channel directly connecting CEX accounts to the on-chain world, enabling users to trade millions of tokens on Ethereum, BSC, Base, and Solana directly with their CEX account, without the need to create a Web3 wallet, manage private keys, or manually cross bridges or calculate gas fees, combining the speed and security of CEX with the asset openness of DEX, truly coexisting in the same account for the first time.

But that's not enough; integrating TradFi is the key to truly making UEX "panoramic."

On January 5, 2026, Bitget TradFi launched, taking a significant step toward "one account for all global assets": through deep cooperation with Ondo Finance and xStocks, Bitget has launched over 200 mainstream US stocks and ETFs, with plans to expand to over 1000 by 2030; in terms of stock contracts, Bitget supports over 40 perpetual contracts with a maximum leverage of 100x; additionally, the TradFi CFD module integrated with MT5 covers forex, gold, oil, indices, with a maximum of 500x leverage.

Also, all asset trades share a single USDT/USDC balance, enabling margin reuse and cross-asset risk hedging without needing to switch apps for single account management.

While covering a wide array of assets, Bitget also aims to provide more balanced and sustainable trading depth through incentive measures + institutional innovations, and significant rate advantages under the UEX unified account + BGB discounts + VIP system combinations.

Second Wall: No Longer Letting Information Outpace Execution

Assets are connected, but the problem is not solved.

Because often, you see an opportunity but may not have time to act on it.

To break this wall, Bitget employs AI.

Currently, several core AI products have already been developed by Bitget, including:

• GetAgent, Bitget's core AI trading assistant, integrates over 50 professional tools and supports natural language interaction; it can understand your holdings, interpret your trading preferences, infer your "investment MBTI," and then execute trades directly for you.
• Agent Hub goes a step further, adding 5 major AI Skills including macro analysis, technical signals, sentiment monitoring, and market intelligence, paired with 19 data tools, further completing the "analysis → judgment → execution" closed loop, covering the entire asset categories of crypto, on-chain, and TradFi.
• The newly launched GetClaw in April 2026 grants AI independent trading accounts, allowing AI to operate independently in a dedicated environment, becoming a true "executor" rather than just a "suggestor." Users set the rules, and AI autonomously runs strategies, transparently and controllably, even supporting cross-platform operations via natural language commands through Telegram.

In an information-exploding trading market, Bitget never sees AI as merely a decorative chatbox but as a key engine to solve "information overload" and "trading complexity": from letting AI comprehend you, to aiding in market analysis, making judgments, and executing directly, Bitget aims to help users capture opportunities through AI and is committed to bridging the last mile from user intent to actual execution via natural language.

Third Wall: Safety and Compliance Build a Trust Foundation

If the first two walls are functional walls, then this wall is a psychological one.

Because if assets and trades are panoramic, it often also means that risks are panoramic.

Therefore, building a panoramic trading platform requires trust not just through promises but through mechanisms.

In terms of safety, Bitget has been publishing Proof of Reserves (PoR) quarterly since 2022, maintaining a reserve ratio of over 100% for the long term. Meanwhile, Bitget also operates the second-largest user protection fund, peaking at over $800 million, to cover extreme security risks.

Of course, compared to "Are we compensating in case something happens?", the pursuit should be "minimizing incidents," so Bitget employs AI on the frontline of risk control: whether it's real-time identification of abnormal trades, rug pull signal screening, or malicious contract checks. According to official data, in 2025, Bitget successfully blocked over $30 million in abnormal withdrawals, identified over $79 million in abnormal profits, and handled over 400 abnormal funds incidents, achieving remarkable results in "blocking risks before trade execution."

On the compliance side, Bitget has assembled a professional compliance team of over 70 people, strictly enforcing KYC/AML screening, fund tracking, Travel Rule compliance, supporting requirements for stablecoins in regulatory frameworks like MiCA, and collaborating closely with global regulatory agencies to promote compliance across multiple countries, allowing users from different regions to enjoy UEX capabilities as much as possible within a compliant framework.

Looking at these three aspects together, the construction logic of Bitget's UEX becomes clearer: UEX cannot be simply understood as "a more functional exchange," but rather as a brand new platform form:

One app, one account, aiming to accommodate more assets, more information, more strategies, while also aiming to withstand more complex risks.

Rome was not built in a day, nor can a panoramic trading platform be realized overnight.

But at least from the current perspective, with broad asset coverage, AI-driven intelligence, and a secure compliant framework, Bitget has already deeply embedded the three critical pillars of UEX into its own trading ecological foundation.

As Giants Start "Copying Homework," Bitget's Non-Crypto Trading Volume Has Exceeded 40%

When Bitget announced its comprehensive shift toward UEX panoramic exchange construction in September 2025, most people held curiosity about this new term.

Now, few doubt the correctness of its direction.

The best proof is that the peers have started "copying homework."

On February 24, 2026, Binance announced a partnership with Ondo Finance to launch 10 tokenized US stocks, ETFs, and commodity products on the Binance Alpha platform.

On March 5, 2026, OKX announced a strategic partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, planning to launch tokenized NYSE stocks and derivatives.

In a short time, many exchanges have begun similar explorations, and the integration of TradFi + tokenized assets has become the mainstream direction for major CEXs, especially in tokenized stocks and precious metals and CFDs, industry consensus is forming rapidly, and for Bitget, which announced its strategic transformation months earlier and has already launched over 200 tokenized real-world assets, UEX has become its most distinct unique identifier.

Of course, some may ask: When absolute leaders enter the field, does the first-mover advantage still hold?

We can see that even as they head towards the "panoramic trading platform," Binance, which is larger and harder to steer, appears more cautious, remaining in a stage of small explorations, while OKX is still in the planning and partnership announcement stage.

No matter whether it was spotting the trend earlier or initiating infrastructure construction first, Bitget has at least gained an advantageous position in these two areas: the infrastructure is being successfully tested, institutional user trading habits are being cultivated, and a deep binding between AI tools and user strategies is being established.

If the fact that peers following suit proves the direction is correct, then the growth data is proof of capability.

According to CoinGlass's annual derivatives market report for 2025, Bitget's annual derivatives trading volume reached $81.7 trillion, ranking it among the top four global centralized exchanges.

Beyond trading volume, Bitget's liquidity performance is equally noteworthy. According to the liquidity report published by TokenInsight, Bitget excels in BTC and ETH contract order book depth, maintaining a leading position in two critical spread ranges of 0.05% and 0.1%.

This indicates that Bitget not only has a sufficiently large trading volume but also possesses stronger carrying capacity and better trading experiences, leading to positive feedback in liquidity inflows: according to CoinMarketCap data, Bitget achieved a net inflow of $206 million this February, ranking third among global centralized exchanges, further confirming the market's recognition of its platform efficiency and asset carrying capacity.

In addition to active trading and fund inflows, Bitget's steeper growth curve in TradFi business further emphasizes the "correctness of the UEX route."

To look at the most intuitive trading data: according to Bitget reports, in the first quarter of 2026, Bitget's non-crypto asset trading volume accounted for over 40% at its highest.

Behind this 40% is the active trading across several TradFi segments:

According to official data, the trading volume in the Bitget CFD segment has surpassed $6 billion in a single day. The market share of the tokenized stock business is even more remarkable: in December 2025, the monthly trading volume of Bitget's tokenized stocks accounted for 89.1% of Ondo's global market share; meanwhile, the open interest on contracts for core American tech stocks like Apple, Google, and Tesla surged to the top among all CEXs.

Precious metals trading has also scaled up significantly. Data shows that Bitget's XAU trading volume exceeds $207 million in 24 hours, ranking among the top three centralized exchanges.

More importantly, the growth structure is also changing. According to official data, Bitget's institutional trading volume share has increased from 39.4% in January 2025 to 82% in December 2025. This means that the UEX route is attracting not only a broader user base but also an increasing number of professional funds with higher demands for liquidity, execution efficiency, and risk management.

At the same time, Bitget's AI capabilities are also rapidly penetrating trading scenarios: GetAgent has covered over 350,000 users, facilitating more than 2 million conversations regarding portfolio and strategy guidance.

Every single number represents traders who were once trapped by "fragmented entrances," "information overload," and "lack of trust," finding their trading freedom again within a more complete system.

For Bitget, this protracted battle to build a "panoramic trading platform" may have only just entered a truly interesting phase.

Conclusion

Just as this article is being written, Bitget has again taken action to "break walls":

Bitget announced the premiere launch of the US stock IPO subscription service IPO Prime, extending the UEX boundary further into the primary market, providing global users with a new channel to participate in the potential economic benefits before unicorn companies go public.

The first asset launched is preSPAX, a digital token issued by the regulated issuer Republic, aiming to mirror the economic performance following SpaceX's IPO in a 1:1 manner. Users can obtain corresponding subscription quotas based on their VIP levels. After the token distribution is complete, users can trade on the upcoming over-the-counter market; they can also, after the prohibition period of the underlying debt asset of preSPAX ends, have the issuer entrust Bitget to exchange it for stock tokens or USDT at the market price of the target company's stock.

This is not an isolated product launch but another step for Bitget following the UEX logic:

From the very beginning, what Bitget has intended to do is never just to be an exchange that appears to be "fully stocked," but to continually ask, under the premise of simplicity, smoothness, and safety, how much asset trading can one account truly accommodate?

Of course, being first does not equate to being the last one standing. The competition for panoramic trading platforms has just started to enter a deep water zone. The next real contest will gradually shift from "who proposed the direction first" to "who can turn the direction into reality first."

Returning to the beginning of the article, Zhang Xue Motorcycle shows that a track long dominated by traditional powerhouses is not entirely without the chance for a breakout.

As for Bitget now, it is also trying to run out its own "4-second lead" on the same crowded track dominated by the same top players.
