Institutional traders now drive 80% of Bitget’s volume: Report
Bitget’s liquidity gains mirror an industrywide shift as exchanges such as Binance, OKX and Crypto.com compete to attract professional and institutional traders.
Singapore-based crypto exchange Bitget has seen an uptick in institutional participation, with institutional traders now accounting for roughly 80% of total volume as of September, according to a report by Bitget in collaboration with blockchain analytics platform Nansen.
The report noted that institutional activity on Bitget’s spot markets climbed from 39.4% of total volume on Jan. 1 to 72.6% by July 30. Futures trading saw an even more dramatic shift, with institutional market makers growing from just 3% of activity at the start of 2025 to 56.6% by late July.
The study identified liquidity as the key measure of institutional adoption in crypto, noting that Bitget’s order-book depth, spreads and execution quality now match peers such as Binance and OKX across major trading pairs.
