In a significant development for the cryptocurrency sector, Bitget has emerged as the world's second-largest centralized exchange by monthly capital inflows, attracting an impressive $1.78 billion during October 2025. This milestone, confirmed by leading analytics platform DefiLlama, underscores the exchange's growing prominence in the competitive digital asset landscape.
Record-Breaking Institutional Adoption
The latest transparency report from Bitget reveals extraordinary growth in institutional participation throughout 2025. According to a joint study conducted with blockchain analytics firm Nansen, institutional liquidity flowing through the exchange surged by a remarkable $23.1 billion. The research demonstrates that institutional involvement in Bitget's spot markets climbed dramatically from 39.4% in January to 72.6% by July.
Equally impressive was the expansion in futures market activity, where market-maker participation increased from just 3% to 56.6% during the same seven-month period. Nansen's analysis positioned Bitget among the top two exchanges worldwide for institutional trading volume across major cryptocurrency pairs including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP).
Strong Reserve Growth Defies Industry Trends
DefiLlama's CEX Transparency dashboard provided compelling evidence of Bitget's robust financial health. The exchange recorded total reserves of $7.83 billion in October, with the $1.78 billion in net inflows representing the second-highest globally. Particularly noteworthy was the growth in Bitcoin holdings, which increased by 6% from 28,600 BTC to 30,300 BTC during the month.
This accumulation of Bitcoin reserves stands in stark contrast to the broader industry pattern of declining centralized exchange reserves, highlighting Bitget's strong capital integrity and the trust it has earned from users even during periods of market volatility.
Product Innovation Driving Mainstream Adoption
Bitget's expansion into traditional financial markets has yielded significant results, with its US Stock Futures product surpassing $1 billion in cumulative trading volume. This innovative offering provides users with exposure to synthetic perpetual contracts linked to prominent global equities such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA, effectively bridging the gap between conventional and digital markets.
The exchange's AI assistant, GetAgent, introduced an engaging "Ask Satoshi" campaign to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the Bitcoin Whitepaper. This interactive feature allowed users to engage in real-time conversations with an AI simulation of Bitcoin's mysterious creator, generating widespread interest and dialogue across global cryptocurrency communities.
Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet enhanced its mainstream usability through the implementation of multichain gas abstraction, enabling users to pay transaction fees in stablecoins like USDT and USDC across multiple blockchain networks. Additional integrations with HyperEVM and Plasma technology have further strengthened the wallet's position as a versatile gateway for onchain activities and self-custody solutions.
The collective achievements documented in Bitget's October 2025 Transparency Report demonstrate the exchange's successful execution of its Universal Exchange vision, effectively combining centralized precision with decentralized innovation while maintaining real-world accessibility for users worldwide.
