Bitget CFD Volume Surges to $8B Daily as Gold Drives 95% of Growth

Bitget's daily CFD trading volume exploded to $8 billion, with XAUUSD comprising 95% of the incremental activity, building on a $6 billion milestone in March amid gold's sustained appeal. Earlier the same day, Sky Links Capital forecasted 30% growth in gold spot volumes and 27.5% in futures for H1 2026 versus H2 2025, plus 25-30% intra-quarter gains. These reports highlight intensifying institutional flows into gold despite a price retreat to around $4,600/oz from early 2026 peaks above $5,000, following 84% YoY demand surge in 2025.
