Bitget’s $750B Monthly Volume Shakes Up Crypto Trading Rankings

• Bitget recorded $11.5 trillion in derivatives volume and ranks among the top four global exchanges.

• Institutions now account for 80% of spot volumes, and the exchange leads in Ethereum and Solana liquidity.

• The native BGB token became the third-most traded spot asset after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Bitget has secured its position among the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, according to a comprehensive CoinDesk Market Data Deep-Dive report. The exchange, ranked sixth globally by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, demonstrated exceptional performance across multiple trading metrics and institutional adoption measures.

The report highlighted Bitget’s remarkable $11.5 trillion cumulative derivatives volume recorded between November 2023 and June 2025. This achievement positioned the platform among the top four global exchanges by trading activity. The exchange maintained strong momentum throughout 2025, averaging nearly $750 billion in monthly volumes, with derivatives trading accounting for approximately 90% of total activity.

Institutional Growth Drives Exchange Evolution

Bitget experienced significant changes in its user composition during the reporting period. Institutional traders contributed 80% of spot trading volumes and 50% of derivatives volumes in the first half 2025. This institutional influx doubled the exchange’s assets under management year-to-date.

CoinDesk attributed this institutional adoption to Bitget’s enhanced product offerings. The exchange introduced a Liquidity Incentive Program, expanded its institutional lending suite, and plans to launch a unified margin system later this quarter. These developments strengthened Bitget’s appeal to professional trading firms and institutional investors.

The exchange’s native BGB token emerged as a standout performer. BGB ranked globally as the third-most traded spot asset, trailing only Bitcoin and Ethereum. The token’s trading volumes matched entire market sectors and contributed to Bitget achieving its highest-ever spot market share of 5.2% in May 2025. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BGB represented 44% of the platform’s spot trading activity.

Superior Liquidity Performance Sets Market Standards

Bitget’s liquidity metrics earned top rankings across major cryptocurrencies. The exchange claimed the number one position for Ethereum and Solana liquidity provision. For Bitcoin spot depth within 1% of mid-price, Bitget ranked second, surpassing several established competitors.

The platform’s execution quality metrics proved equally impressive. Bitget recorded an average Bitcoin slippage of just 0.0074% for $100,000 trades, placing it among the top three exchanges globally for trade execution efficiency.

Bitget’s Chief Executive Officer, Gracy Chen, emphasized the exchange’s growth strategy. She highlighted the platform’s focus on delivering institutional-grade products while maintaining a robust security infrastructure. Chen noted that retail and institutional clients prioritize quality and safety when selecting trading venues.

The CoinDesk report also recognized Bitget’s Onchain launch in April 2025, which generated a 32% month-over-month increase in spot volumes. The exchange demonstrated leadership in XRP derivatives open interest and dominance in Layer-1 and memecoin trading sectors. Niche token activity experienced significant growth on the platform, reflecting Bitget’s ability to capture emerging market trends.
