Record-Breaking Trading Volumes
Bitget confirmed its role as a top-tier exchange by crossing $10 billion in Bitcoin futures open interest in August. Alongside this, Ethereum futures remained strong with $5–7 billion in activity, and total derivatives trading volume surged to $750 billion for the month. Cumulative derivatives volume has now reached $11.5 trillion, positioning Bitget among the most liquid exchanges for BTC, ETH, and SOL according to CoinDesk and The Block.
Innovation Through RWA Perpetuals
August saw the launch of Real-World Asset (RWA) Index Perpetuals, a first-of-its-kind product enabling trading of tokenized equities and indices within one instrument. This dynamic basket offers transparent pricing and flexible rebalancing, bridging traditional finance with decentralized markets. The move underscores Bitget’s push to innovate beyond standard crypto products, expanding access for both institutional and retail users interested in diversified on-chain exposure.
