Bitget is growing fast with more big investors joining, a new report from blockchain firm Nansen shows. The report says Bitget reached $23.1 billion in institutional trades this year, making it the world’s second-largest exchange by liquidity. Released in October 2025, it shows how Bitget’s Universal Exchange model is attracting more professional traders.
According to the report, Institutional trading on Bitget has grown quickly this year. Nansen found that spot trading from institutions rose from 39.4% in January to 72.6% in July. Market makers also increased their futures share from 3% to over 56%. These figures show that more funds and companies are joining the platform.
Nansen research analyst Nicolai Søndergaard said, “Order book depth and execution metrics now track closely with that of other CEXs.” He added that Bitget’s growing volume and tighter spreads reflect a platform ready for professional trading.
Additionally, Bitget’s liquidity levels now rival top global exchanges. Nansen measured its Amihud illiquidity ratio at 0.0014 and its Roll spread at 9.02 basis points. These numbers mean Bitget can handle large trades with minimal price movement, even in fast markets.
Moreover, Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said, “Liquidity is the heartbeat of any market, and institutional investors know it’s what separates speculation from structure.” She explained that Bitget’s shift into a Universal Exchange aims to build trust and give all users a reliable space to trade.
The report also showed more activity from Nigeria, China, and India, which now make up a large part of Bitget’s trading. To help these growing users, Bitget has improved its loan and storage services. It now gives loans up to $10 million in USDT, supports over 300 assets, and works with Fireblocks, Copper, and OSL to keep funds safe.
Bitget’s UEX model brings together both centralized and decentralized finance. It allows people to trade, invest, and manage funds in one easy place. Nansen said that more big investors joining the market is now a normal part of how crypto works.
