(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —\u00a0Bitget, the world\u2019s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), ranked among the leading venues for BTC and ETH derivatives liquidity in H1 2026, according to the\u00a0CoinGlass 2026 Semi-Annual Cryptocurrency Derivatives Market Report, highlighting the exchange\u2019s growing role in supporting deep execution across major crypto assets as derivatives markets became more selective.<\/p>\n
The report found that Bitget recorded US$81.37 million in ETH order-book depth within \u00b11% of the mid-price, representing a 21.4% share among the listed venues and ranking second behind Binance. For BTC, Bitget recorded US$71.70 million in order-book depth within \u00b11%, representing a 13.4% share and ranking fourth among the listed venues.<\/p>\n
The data comes during a period when the broader derivatives market became more selective in major crypto assets. According to CoinGlass, total crypto derivatives volume was down 15.7% year over year in H1 2026, while average daily open interest declined by a smaller 10.0%. The gap suggested that trading activity cooled faster than outstanding risk exposure, making liquidity depth and execution quality more important for market participants.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe derivatives markets remain sensitive to volatility even when overall trading activity moderates,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0said\u00a0Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget<\/b>.\u00a0\u201cIn this environment, liquidity depth has become a core measure of exchange\u2019s trust and performance.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Bitget\u2019s liquidity performance also reflects its continued progress in serving more sophisticated trading demand. According to Bitget\u2019s internal data, the share of institutional spot trading volume increased to\u00a082%\u00a0by December in 2025, highlighting rising institutional participation on the platform. To support its growth, Bitget upgraded\u00a0the framework\u00a0for its PRO and Liquidity Incentive Programs in early July, improving trading cost structures, liquidity incentives, and market-making conditions across crypto and traditional financial market products. These initiatives are designed to make Bitget a more competitive venue for both institutional and retail traders.<\/p>\n
Beyond crypto asset liquidity, the CoinGlass report also showed Bitget\u2019s expanding footprint in TradFi trading products. In H1 2026, Bitget recorded US$66.41 billion in TradFi perpetual contract volume, representing a 5.5% share among the five sampled exchanges in the report. This highlights growing demand for TradFi exposure via crypto-native infrastructure, complementing Bitget\u2019s strong liquidity in major digital assets.<\/p>\n
These results build on Bitget\u2019s continued investment in trading infrastructure. As Bitget advances its Universal Exchange model, bringing together crypto assets, tokenized assets, and traditional financial market access within a single trading environment, the exchange is developing the execution, liquidity, and pricing infrastructure required to support the next generation of multi-asset trading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
