Nansen Report: Institutional Spot Trading Volume on Bitget Jumps to 72.6%

• Bitget was in a new one Liquidity analysis report presented in collaboration with Nansen for their accelerating role in institutional adoption of crypto.
• The study highlights Bitget’s $23.1 billion trading volume and the rapid growth of its institutional customer base.

The report shows that institutional participation in Bitget has increased significantly this year, with institutional spot trading volume increasing from 39.4% in January to 72.6% in July. Similar trends were observed in futures, where the share of market makers increased from 3% of volume at the beginning of the year to over 56.6% by mid-year. These changes coincided with record order book depth and consistent spreads across major trading pairs including BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT and SOL/USDT. These metrics now correspond to those of the largest global exchanges.

„Bitget’s progress this year has been underpinned by measurable improvements. Order book depth and execution metrics are now broadly in line with other CEXs, while reported institutional volume in spot markets has increased from under 40% to over 70%. Given the observed tightening of spreads, greater depth and broader presence of active funds on the platform, “Bitget appears to be evolving in line with the features typically associated with institutional exchanges,” said Nicolai Søndergaard, Research Analyst at Nansen.

Bitget’s liquidity depth remains one of the most consistent in the industry. Bitget’s illiquidity ratio of 0.0014, which tracks closely with other top platforms, and its estimated roll spread of 9.02 basis points, which is close to the global median, were also highlighted in the report. Even during periods of high volatility, these results demonstrate consistent order book depth, low slippage and tight execution.

„“Liquidity is the heartbeat of every market, and institutional investors know that it is what separates speculation from structure,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Our evolution into a Universal Exchange (UEX) is about giving these participants more than just access; it’s about giving them trust. We’re building an ecosystem where institutions and retail traders operate on the same solid foundation, from execution to custody.”

The platform’s infrastructure for institutional lending and custody has also been significantly expanded. Bitget now offers customized lending programs with up to 10 million USDT, flexible terms, cross-collateral support for over 300 assets, and integrations with major custodians such as Fireblocks, Copper, and OSL.

Institutional adoption is no longer a trend, but the structure of the market. Execution quality and liquidity are becoming new standards of trust as professional funds, corporate treasuries and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) add to their holdings. Bitget’s continued rise in this market shows that the company is capable of adhering to institutional norms while redefining what an exchange can be in the UEX era.
