We’re building an ecosystem where institutions and retail traders operate on the same solid foundation, from execution to custody.”

The platform’s institutional loan and custody infrastructure has also expanded significantly. Bitget now provides tailored lending programs. It offers up to $10 million in USDT with flexible terms, cross-collateral support for 300+ assets, and integrations with major custodians. Fireblocks, Copper, and OSL are the major custodians.

Bridging Centralized and Decentralized Finance
