Bitcoin News Today: Bitget Climbs to 7.2% Global Derivatives Market Share, Ranks Third

Bitget has climbed to a 7.2% global market share in the derivatives market, securing the third-largest position by trading volume, according to a report co-released with Bitcoin.com titled “Crypto Derivatives 101 – Market Breakdown: Who’s Winning the Race?”[1]. This marks a significant increase from its 4.6% market share at the beginning of 2025. In April 2025 alone, Bitget processed $92 billion in futures trading volume, reflecting strong retail and institutional engagement[1].

The report highlights that Binance maintains the largest share at 38%, while OKX and Bitget follow closely. Bitget has gained particular traction in ETH-based derivatives, surpassing Binance in liquidity within key trading ranges[1]. This development underscores the platform’s growing appeal and competitive edge in the derivatives sector.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, emphasized the importance of educational resources in demystifying crypto derivatives. “We believe educational access is foundational,” she stated, adding that the platform is committed to a user-first approach through AI-powered tools, liquidity innovations, and a focus on transparency and accessibility[1]. The report itself is designed to serve as a beginner-friendly guide, explaining core instruments such as futures, options, and perpetual swaps, and their uses in hedging, speculation, and arbitrage[1].

The report also compares centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) perpetual markets, evaluating factors such as liquidity, slippage, fees, execution speed, and custody. Platforms like Bitget, Binance, and OKX lead in liquidity depth and institutional readiness, while DEXs such as GMX and Hyperliquid offer greater transparency and self-custody for DeFi-native users[1]. The document includes real-world trading scenarios to help users understand which platforms best suit their goals, whether they are retail traders, DeFi users, or institutional investors.

Eli Bordun, Partnership Director at Bitcoin.com, noted that education remains a key barrier in the industry. “By working with Bitget to produce this report, we aim to demystify these instruments and support safe, informed participation in the market,” he said[1]. The report also outlines emerging trends, including the integration of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) into derivatives products, the rise of AI-powered trading platforms, and improved regulatory clarity with frameworks like the EU’s MiCA and Singapore’s MAS.

The report further explores the evolution of CeDeFi (Centralized-Decentralized Finance) models, where platforms like Bitget offer a hybrid approach that combines secure custody, intuitive UX, and permissionless asset access with DeFi integration[1].

With this initiative, Bitget and Bitcoin.com aim to foster a more inclusive trading environment. As derivatives become central to digital finance, Bitget is positioned not only as a market leader but also as a bridge between new users and the tools that will shape their financial futures[1].
