Bitget said its contracts-for-difference business hit a record $8 billion in daily trading volume, less than three weeks after clearing the $6 billion mark in March.

Bitget Volume Surge

The exchange linked the jump primarily to gold trading, with the XAU/USD pair accounting for about 95% of the incremental volume during the period.

Geographic distribution was uneven. China supplied 42% of the new volume, Europe added 27%, and Southeast Asia contributed 16%. Together those three regions represented 85% of the gain.

Investment demand for gold rose 84% year-on-year to a record level in 2025, and prices passed $5,000 per ounce in early 2026. Bitget said macroeconomic strain and geopolitical tensions kept buyers active.

Executive Outlook

Gracy Chen, the chief executive of Bitget, said gold remains a reference point during periods of market stress. She added that the way users access it is shifting, with trading running more continuously and across more markets.

The CFD product lets traders take positions on commodities, foreign exchange and indices while holding margin in USDT(USDT), allowing capital to move between asset classes inside one account.

Bitget passed $6 billion in daily CFD volume in March, roughly two weeks before the latest figure. The company launched its Universal Exchange model to bring crypto and traditional instruments onto a single platform.
