Bitget has risen to sixth globally by market share among centralised cryptocurrency exchanges after reporting 45.5% year-on-year trading-volume growth and ending 2025 with a 6.4% share, according to CoinGecko data.
The ranking is based on CoinGecko's annual comparison of centralised exchanges by trading volume and each venue's share of total activity. CoinGecko is widely used by market participants as a reference point for exchange volumes.
Bitget described the result as evidence of rising user activity and pointed to changes in its product mix over the past year. It has positioned itself as a "Universal Exchange", a label it uses to describe offering a broader set of tradable instruments alongside crypto markets.
Chief executive Gracy Chen linked the performance to trust and scale in a statement responding to the ranking.
"We're proud to see Bitget's continued growth reflected in CoinGecko's report," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "The trust community has placed in us comes from the security we've built over the years. Holding one of the largest market shares in crypto means we build to scale, and with UEX we see this come to life."
Product expansion
During 2025, Bitget expanded into instruments tied to traditional financial markets. It introduced a beta version of Bitget TradFi, which it said lets users trade commodities, indices, foreign exchange and metals such as gold alongside crypto derivatives.
It also expanded tokenised stock futures, saying the products saw strong uptake during global earnings cycles. Bitget did not provide figures for volumes or user counts in these segments in the material accompanying the CoinGecko reference.
These additions sit alongside its spot and derivatives offerings. Bitget said they allow traders to respond to macro events without leaving a crypto-focused trading environment.
Converging markets
CoinGecko's market-share data comes as crypto trading platforms continue to compete on liquidity, product range and perceived reliability. In recent years, several large exchanges have added new derivatives contracts, expanded listings, or developed tokenised versions of mainstream assets.
Bitget said the broader shift is towards platforms that combine multiple types of exposure in one place, with users trading across crypto assets, macro-linked markets and on-chain products. It argued that exchanges able to support that mix are gaining attention.
Bitget did not disclose how much of its activity came from spot markets versus derivatives and other products. The CoinGecko report it cited is based on trading volume, and market participants often note that volume data can vary by methodology and product classification, particularly for derivatives and tokenised instruments.
Scale and reach
Bitget said it has more than 125 million users and provides access to more than 2 million crypto tokens. It also said it offers more than 100 tokenised stocks, exchange-traded funds, commodities, foreign exchange instruments and precious metals.
It also highlighted an AI agent product it said supports trade execution, describing the tool as a co-pilot for users. No further technical detail was provided.
Outside trading products, Bitget cited sports partnerships with LALIGA and MotoGP. It also referenced an agreement with UNICEF focused on blockchain education, which it said targets 1.1 million people by 2027.
As 2026 begins, Bitget said it expects further changes to its product suite and trading infrastructure, alongside additional investment in platform reliability and community trust, as it seeks to build on its market-share position.
