Bitget has strengthened its position as a global derivatives leader, with institutional participation playing an increasing role in its growth, according to CoinDesk Research.
In the first half of 2025, the exchange averaged $750B in total monthly trading volume, with derivatives accounting for nearly 90% of activity. Bitget ranked among the top four global derivatives venues, reaching a peak market share of 15.1% in late 2024 and maintaining an average 12.4% share through H1 2025. Cumulative derivatives volume since November 2023 totaled $11.5T.
Spot trading is gaining momentum, helped by the April launch of Bitget’s Onchain platform. Spot volumes surged 32% month-on-month to $102.8B in May, lifting overall market share to 5.2%. The exchange’s native token, BGB, ranked as the third-most traded spot asset, alongside BTC and ETH, which collectively accounted for 44% of H1 spot volumes.
Bitget also led key markets in liquidity: it ranked first in ETH and SOL aggregated spot depth within 1% of the mid-price and second in BTC. For institutional execution, BTC-USDT spot slippage averaged 0.0074% for $100,000 trades, placing the platform among the top exchanges for execution quality.
Institutional flows are reshaping the exchange’s profile. Institutions now account for 80% of spot volume and 50% of derivatives, with assets under management doubling year-to-date. Upgrades such as a new liquidity incentive program, institutional lending, and a unified margin system set for Q3 reflect Bitget’s push to serve institutional and advanced traders.
