Bitget and Nansen Report Reveals $23.1B Institutional Liquidity Surge as UEX Redefines Market Access

A new liquidity analysis report by Bitget and Nansen reveals that Bitget has become a major liquidity hub, recording $23.1 billion in trading volume and showing rapid institutional adoption in 2025. Institutional spot trading volume on the platform surged from 39.4% in January to 72.6% by July, with market makers increasing from 3% to over 56.6% of futures volume. Nansen Research Analyst Nicolai Søndergaard noted that Bitget's order book depth and execution metrics now rival those of other major centralized exchanges (CEXs). Bitget CEO Gracy Chen emphasized that this evolution into a Universal Exchange (UEX) is about providing institutional confidence through a solid foundation for both institutional and retail traders. Furthermore, Bitget has expanded its institutional infrastructure, offering tailored lending programs and integrating with major custodians like Fireblocks and Copper, signaling a broader industry shift toward exchanges acting as full-scale financial gateways.
