Bitget has introduced a private beta feature allowing users to trade forex, commodities, and stock derivatives using Tether's USDT as collateral and settlement currency.
The new offering combines traditional market derivatives with crypto trading on a single platform. Select users can access major fiat currency pairs, gold, and other contracts without opening separate brokerage accounts or converting currencies.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen described the integration of crypto, gold, stocks, forex, and commodities under one system as “historic.” The feature operates under oversight from Mauritius' Financial Services Commission and offers leveraged exposure up to 500x.
The exchange ranks sixth among top platforms by crypto spot trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap. Daily spot volume reaches approximately $1.8 billion, while derivatives volume approaches $12 billion, placing Bitget among the top five derivatives exchanges.
Positions will be margined and settled with USDT during the testing phase. Access remains restricted as Bitget evaluates performance and risk controls across the new markets launched Monday.
The company added tokenized stock support in July through an integration with xStocks. Users gained blockchain-based exposure to equities, including Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, and Strategy, through the on-chain platform.
Other digital asset exchanges are pursuing similar TradFi integrations. Kraken began rolling out commission-free trading for more than 11,000 U.S.-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds in April, reflecting demand for unified platforms that support both crypto and traditional assets.
Bybit launched a TradFi trading feature in July, providing access to gold, forex, commodities, indexes, and derivatives products. The platform uses a single account and crypto wallet for trading both crypto and traditional markets.
