Bitget : 52% of Crypto Investors Turn to Equities, 51% to AI

Bitget’s 2026 User Asset Allocation Report finds crypto remains core (86% of users) but retail traders are broadening portfolios into equities, commodities and AI tools. Key takeaways: 52% of Bitget users now hold equities alongside crypto, 51% use AI for trading decisions, and 35% hold gold or precious metals. USDT settlement and fast multi-asset switching (71% and 65% prioritization respectively) are driving demand for a ‘Universal Exchange’ that bridges crypto, stocks, forex and commodities. The shift implies growing cross-asset sensitivity—macroeconomic moves, AI-driven earnings, and commodity shocks can now transmit more quickly into crypto markets—and favors platforms that integrate asset access, stablecoin settlement and decision-support tools.
