Bitget TradFi Surpasses $2 Billion in Daily Volume as Gold Trading Activity Surges


VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan 9 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has recorded more than $2 billion in daily trading volume on Bitget TradFi, marking a major milestone since its public rollout on January 5. The performance highlights accelerating demand for access to traditional markets on the platform as a hedge against recent volatility. With this, pairs such as Gold (XAUUSD), Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30), Nasdaq 100 index (NAS100), Silver (XAGUSD), and Euro FX (EURUSD) are the top traded within the 72-hour timeframe.

The surge in trading activity reflects the real need for Bitget TradFi, which enables crypto-native traders to participate in global markets through a seamless trading interface. The growth shows Bitget’s UEX model is evolving into a real-time gateway to trade 2M+ tokens onchain, tokenized stocks, indices, forex, commodities and precious metals like gold.

Since its launch, Gold (XAUUSD) has emerged as the most actively traded pair on Bitget TradFi, ranking first by volume. The trend highlights gold’s role as a high-liquidity instrument as well as a tactical asset used to capture short-term price swings.

“Headlines have triggered a risk-off shift, pushing flows into gold and silver. Oil is holding near -$60/ per barrel, limiting near-term inflation pressure, even as markets price in potential supply shocks and tighter financial conditions,” said Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research.

“On-chain positioning remains supportive; exchange balances trending lower, ETF flows stabilizing and improving, and stablecoin liquidity staying elevated suggest accumulation and a potential base for a higher-timeframe rebound rather than broad capitulation,” he added.

Bitget TradFi has been designed as an event-driven trading environment, offering short-term access to global financial instruments. With $2 billion in daily TradFi volume now recorded, Bitget is lowering the barriers typically associated with traditional markets. This milestone aligns with Bitget’s broader UEX vision for a unified platform where users can move fluidly between markets gaining access to global assets worldwide.

“The fundamental shift in wealth management is happening right now,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “People are moving from platforms with hefty fees and brokerage to platforms like ours that allow them to access global assets under a roof. Tokenized TradFi assets such as gold, forex and stocks are currently traded at one of the lowest fees in the world on Bitget.”

Block Scholes Report Highlights Growth of Tokenized Stocks, Citing Bitget as a Key Market Driver

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan 7 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has been featured in a newly released report by Block Scholes, a leading digital asset analytics and research firm, examining the rapid growth of tokenized stocks and the evolving role of exchanges in bridging traditional and on-chain markets. According to the Block Scholes report, tokenized equities are increasingly used as a gateway to global markets, with exchanges like Bitget playing a growing role in providing liquidity, price discovery, and seamless execution.

The report shows that tokenized assets, long dominated by stablecoins, are now entering a new phase driven by tokenized equities and ETFs. Products tracking assets such as the S&P 500, major U.S. equities, and technology stocks have seen meaningful adoption since Q3 2025, supported by improved liquidity, tighter spreads, and growing participation from both retail and institutional investors. This shift reflects a broader demand for always-on markets that operate beyond traditional trading hours.

Data in the report indicates that tokenized stocks generally track their off-chain counterparts closely during regular market hours, with intraday spreads often remaining within narrow ranges. Price deviations tend to widen overnight or on weekends, when underlying markets are closed and minting or redemption pauses, underscoring both the opportunity and the structural differences of 24/7 on-chain trading. Even so, the growing consistency of pricing during core sessions suggests that market infrastructure is maturing quickly.

At the center of this transition is Bitget’s Universal Exchange model. UEX is designed to bring crypto assets, stablecoins, and tokenized traditional instruments into a single trading environment, removing the need for separate brokerage accounts or fragmented platforms. By integrating tokenized stocks and ETFs alongside spot and derivatives markets, UEX enables users to manage and trade a broader range of assets through one interface, funded directly with digital assets such as stablecoins. The report also noted that exchanges with integrated infrastructure and deeper liquidity are best positioned to support the next phase of tokenized stock adoption, citing Bitget’s growing activity and market depth as indicative of this shift.

Commenting on the report’s findings, Gracy Chen, Chief Executive Officer at Bitget, said, “Tokenization only works if access is simple and markets are liquid. Our focus with UEX is to make real-world assets feel as seamless to trade as crypto, while keeping the transparency and speed that users expect from digital markets.”

The report also points to a convergence in user behavior. A large majority of traders engaging with tokenized stocks already hold crypto assets, suggesting that demand is coming from existing market participants looking to extend their exposure rather than from an entirely new audience. This overlap positions exchanges as the natural gateway for tokenized RWAs, especially as institutions continue to explore on-chain settlement and custody efficiencies.

Thabib Rahman, Block Scholes Research Analyst, said, “The volume of tokenized assets grew exponentially in 2025, in line with a crypto-friendly US administration and growing institutional participation. Throughout the year, Block Scholes has advocated that stablecoins are the first step in on-chain tokenization, citing their role in advancing the Trump Administration's fiscal goals. The next phase of that growth, which we believe will be a major narrative in 2026, is the on-chain tokenization of real-world stocks and commodities from the TradFi world. Bitget has made the initial steps toward this with its Bitget UEX, providing a single venue for trading stocks and ETFs from Ondo Finance and xStocks, all managed and held within Bitget Wallet. Still, we believe the market is in its nascent phase — tokenized assets closely track their off-chain counterparts during traditional market hours, though spreads are slightly wider outside those hours. That sets the scene for continued growth in real-world asset tokenization in 2026.”

As tokenized assets expand beyond stablecoins into equities, treasuries, and index-linked products, the report concludes that the market remains early but increasingly scalable. With 24/7 access, enhanced liquidity, and unified portfolio management, Bitget’s evolution into a Universal Exchange reflects how crypto platforms are reshaping how global markets are accessed and traded, bringing digital and traditional assets closer than ever.

​Toshiba Releases High-Speed Response, Full Input/Output Range CMOS Dual Comparator Suitable for Overcurrent Detection in Industrial Equipment

 

Toshiba: TC75W71FU, a CMOS dual comparator that features a high-speed response and a full input/output range (Rail to Rail).

KAWASAKI, Japan, Dec 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a CMOS dual comparator, "TC75W71FU." It features a high-speed response and a full input/output range (Rail to Rail), suiting it for use in overcurrent detection in industrial equipment[1]. Shipments start today.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251223600868/en/
 
Today’s industrial equipment uses large currents in motor drives and power circuits. This brings with it the risk of sudden overcurrent, which can damage equipment, shut down production line, and even reduce safety; its rapid detection and protection from it are essential. In the constant search for higher efficiency and product miniaturization, the range of current and voltages that circuits can support has narrowed, and even slight overcurrent can impose a significant load on the circuit. This increases the need for faster and more precise overcurrent detection technologies.

The new product offers a faster propagation delay than the current TC75W56FU, with a maximum of 45ns for low-to-high transitions and 30ns for high-to-low transitions[2]. This enables immediate equipment shutdown in overcurrent, enhancing operational safety.
The input/output voltage range supports the full range—operation from minimum (GND) to maximum (Vcc) supply voltage—making design easier. The minimum operating supply voltage, 1.8V, supports low-voltage operation. Since the new comparator also features a push-pull output[3], signal rise and fall times are fast, no external pull-up resistor is required, and a stable voltage level can be maintained.

In addition to TC75W71FU, TC75W72FU, which features added hysteresis for enhanced noise immunity, and TC75W73FU[4], which offers hysteresis and an open-drain output[5] capable of sending signals to voltage domains different from the comparator’s supply, are scheduled to start mass production in February 2026.

Toshiba will continue to develop comparators that contribute to improved safety and reliability of industrial equipment, and to expand the product lineup to meet a wide range of customer needs.
 
Notes:
[1]Industrial robots, generators, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), transformers, etc.
[2]Propagation delay time of existing product TC75W56FU: Under measurement conditions of VDD=3V, low to high is typically 550ns, high to low is typically 250ns.
[3]Push-pull output: a configuration in which the output circuit includes two transistors, one at the top of the circuit, the other on the bottom, actively driving both the high and low levels.
[4]Propagation delay time is only 30ns (high to low) under measurement conditions of VDD=3.3V.
[5]Open-drain output: a configuration in which the output circuit includes only the lower transistor, actively driving the low level.

· Industrial equipment (Industrial robots, UPS, photovoltaic generators, power supply, etc.)
· Consumer equipment (home appliances, power supplies, etc.)

Features

· Full I/O range
· Low voltage drive: 1.8V
