Bitget has released a mid-year message from CEO Gracy Chen, describing the company's direction as it goes well above its origins as a cryptocurrency exchange and develops a "universal financial platform."
AI adoption reaches the next level
According to figures shared in the company's press release, 52% of Bitget users now hold both cryptocurrencies and stocks, while 35% have exposure to gold and other precious metals. The company also reported that more than half of its users are utilizing AI-powered tools as part of their trading and investment efforts.
Chen said these trends are a result of growing demand for platforms that make financial products more accessible to investors. Rather than positioning itself as a marketplace for every available asset, Bitget stated that its goal is to reduce the barriers that traditionally separate financial markets and investment products.
The company outlined four key principles that will guide its future development: improving capital efficiency, expanding access to global investment opportunities through a crypto-native infrastructure, increasing financial inclusion through products such as tokenized assets and pre-IPO offerings, and simplifying trading through artificial intelligence and automation.
Bitget now aims at becoming a comprehensive financial services provider, rather than an ordinary cryptocurrency exchange, emphasizing that users increasingly expect access to a variety of markets, including cryptocurrencies, equities, contracts for difference (CFDs), foreign exchange, commodities and precious metals, from a single platform.
Company's long-term strategy
Tokenization remains a major component of the company's long-term strategy. Chen reiterated her view that tokenized assets could eventually represent a meaningful portion of global capital markets. Bitget highlighted products such as Stock+ and Reality as examples of how blockchain-based infrastructure can broaden access to investment opportunities while improving efficiency.
Artificial intelligence was identified as another central pillar of the company's roadmap. Chen believes that a future in which AI systems move beyond market analysis and play a larger role in trade execution and portfolio management is near and should already be reinforced by modern digital assets platforms. Under this model, investors would establish objectives and risk preferences while automated systems monitor markets and carry out trading decisions.
Bitget stated that its AI-related offerings are now available and used by more than a million users. The company also reported more than one million copy trading users following the introduction of products including GetClaw and the GetAgent Playbook.
Bitget's broader objective is expanding access to financial opportunities beyond traditional institutional channels, with the company's mission being to help connect a wider range of participants to global financial markets through emerging technologies.
