Who We Are

The Enlightened Explorer

We are the Enlightened Explorer. We believe blockchain represents the next shift of equal magnitude in finance — one that takes an already-digitised financial system and makes it truly liquid, free, and fair. UEX is how we act on that belief.

“What he was asking for was never more assets. It was less hassle.”

To our Bitget community,

About a year ago, I met one of our VIP users. He lives in East Asia and runs a small business. He had seven apps on his phone: two for tracking US stocks, one for buying gold, two crypto CEXs, one crypto DEX, and one app dedicated to cross-border currency exchange and transfer.

He asked me a very simple question: "Gracy, why do I have to manage seven accounts, remember seven passwords, and pay seven sets of fees just because I want to hold all these assets at the same time?"

That moment made me realize — what he was asking for was never more assets. It was less hassle.

Today, I want to start my talk with a few numbers because behind every one of those numbers, there are people just like him.

Over the past six months, we have seen some very clear changes in how people trade. At its peak, non-crypto asset volume reached nearly 40% of total platform volume. CFD daily volume hit a single-day record of $10 billion. Today, 52% of our users hold both stocks and crypto, 35% hold gold or other precious metals, and 51% use AI-powered tools to support their investment decisions.

More and more users are moving between crypto, stocks, commodities, and forex. We are also seeing more users show interest in Pre-IPO opportunities. The first Pre-IPO token we launched was preSPCX and the second one was preOPAI. Both projects brought about a return of about 30–50% to users within one to two months.

These numbers show that our users are becoming more sophisticated in how they trade across asset classes. They also show that our decision to expand asset access was the right one.

But today, I want to address a misconception about UEX.

When people hear "Universal Exchange," many think Bitget simply wants to list more and more assets until it becomes a platform where you can trade everything. It is partially true, but it is not the full picture.

A broad range of assets is the first layer of UEX. But more assets alone do not make a better platform. A platform can list thousands of assets. But if those assets cannot be used within a unified trading account, if they cannot support efficient liquidity, if they do not lower the barrier to trading, and if they do not meet users' real needs, then all we have done is move the complexity of the market onto the user.

We do not want UEX to become just an "asset supermarket," where more is always assumed to be better.

To sum it up — everything Bitget builds is grounded in four principles: make assets more efficient, make markets more free, make opportunities more equal, make trading simpler.

UEX is not an "asset supermarket" that simply piles products onto a shelf. UEX is a crypto-native, accessible, and truly efficient global asset trading system — one account, one experience, one shared liquidity infrastructure.

After years of growth, blockchain has long outgrown the boundaries of crypto. I believe blockchain represents the next shift of equal magnitude in finance — one that takes an already-digitised financial system and makes it truly liquid, free, and fair.

Remember the user I told you about at the start — the one in East Asia? What he wanted was never seven apps. It was one fair way in.

The first era of crypto solved the problem of people with no bank account. The opportunity I see now is brokering the unbrokered: giving those with no channels, no inner circle, no way in an equal shot at the global asset market. That is our deepest mission as an exchange.

For users in much of the world, simply opening a US brokerage account is a wall too high to climb. That wall — we intend to tear it down.
