TL;DR
- Bitget’s UEX whitepaper frames a shift from crypto only venues toward unified, multi asset trading that spans centralized, decentralized, and traditional markets.
- It says integration is the moat, highlighting on chain asset support, tokenized stock exposure, and GetAgent AI assistance within one account experience.
- Security is emphasized through proof of reserves and a $700 million protection fund, while a seven dimension maturity model targets traders, institutions, developers, and policymakers.
Bitget has published a whitepaper on its Universal Exchange (UEX) concept, calling it a turning point for exchanges seeking to move beyond crypto only trading. The paper, titled “Bitget Universal Exchange (UEX): Blueprint for Financial Technologies in Crypto, Stocks, Commodities, and Emerging Markets,” is written by Chief Analyst Ryan Lee and signed by CEO Gracy Chen. The document frames UEX as a single account blueprint designed to unify execution, risk, and security across centralized, decentralized, and traditional markets. It sets the stage for what Bitget describes as a new era of global trading.
Building Universal Exchange for Multi Asset Access
The whitepaper says exchange innovation has expanded into Web3 wallets, AI tools, and new asset classes, but these capabilities are often kept in separate silos. Its claim is that architectural integration, not feature count, becomes the decisive moat for the next cycle. Bitget then points to live support for on chain assets, exposure to tokenized stocks, and AI assisted trading via GetAgent, all inside a single account experience. On protection, it cites proof of reserves plus a $700 million protection fund. Chen says UEX is designed so markets operate “in a coordinated manner.”
UEX is framed as an industry yardstick: the whitepaper compares how platforms are progressing across seven dimensions of maturity. Those dimensions span unified accounts, execution via AI, and on chain risk controls. Lee warns that universality is hard to bolt on later because it depends on foundational design choices. He says the sector is past the point where adding another wallet or another AI tool is enough, adding, “What matters is that these systems actually communicate with each other.” Under that logic, UEX is positioned as a working demonstration at scale in practice.
The whitepaper pitches UEX as a benchmark that exchanges, fintech firms, and traditional institutions could adopt as tokenized assets and AI based trading expand. It cites forecasts that put tokenized assets in the trillions of dollars by the end of the decade, increasing demand for integrated access. Bitget targets traders, institutions, developers, and policymakers with a playbook for navigating the convergence of digital and traditional finance. Security and transparency are anchored in proof of reserves and the $700 million protection fund. Bitget concludes UEX marks the start of a new phase for global trading.
