Bitget CFD Volume Hits Record $8B Driven by Gold Trading Surge

Bitget’s CFD platform achieved a record $8 billion daily trading volume on May 4, 2026, with XAUUSD contracts driving approximately 95% of the incremental activity amid heightened gold demand. This milestone follows earlier records of $2 billion in early 2025 and $6 billion in March 2026, supported by gold investment demand surging 84% YoY in 2025 and spot prices exceeding $5,000/oz in early 2026. The volume uptick was concentrated in Chinese-speaking markets (42%), Europe (27%), and Southeast Asia (16%), reflecting Bitget’s USDT-margined Universal Exchange model bridging crypto and traditional assets during macro volatility.
