Bitget Cuts Futures Trading Fees to Deepen Liquidity Amidst the Tokenization Boom
VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), today announced a reduction in taker fees for institutional market makers trading stock, metal, commodity, and index futures, as the exchange moves to strengthen liquidity across its expanding multi-asset derivatives offering. The updated fee of 0.0065% will take effect from May 1 through June 30, 2026.
The adjustment comes as trading activity continues to expand beyond crypto-native assets into tokenized stocks, commodities, and indices. Tokenized assets have already surpassed $50 billion in value, with projections pointing toward a $16 trillion growth over the next decade. As institutional participation increases, liquidity and execution efficiency are becoming key factors in how capital is deployed across markets.
Under the updated structure, eligible futures market makers will benefit from reduced taker fees across selected contracts, including stock, metal, commodity, and index futures. The initiative is designed to support tighter spreads, improved order book depth, and more consistent pricing as institutional participation increases across these markets.
“Liquidity is what determines whether multi-asset trading works in practice,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “As more institutions move across crypto, equities, and commodities, the focus shifts to execution quality and cost efficiency. This adjustment is aimed at strengthening those conditions as activity scales.”
The move builds on Bitget’s broader expansion into multi-asset trading under the UEX framework, where users can access crypto, derivatives, and traditional market exposure within a single account. The platform has seen growing traction in this segment, with stock-linked derivatives and commodity products contributing an increasing share of overall trading activity.
As competition for institutional flow intensifies across global venues, fee efficiency and liquidity depth are becoming key factors in where capital is deployed. By refining its fee structure across stock, commodity, and index futures, Bitget is positioning itself to capture a larger share of institutional trading activity in markets that increasingly sit at the intersection of crypto and traditional finance.
