Ethereum News Today: Bitget Surpasses Binance in ETH Derivatives Liquidity to Claim 3rd Largest Crypto Derivatives Exchange

Bitget has surged to become the world’s third-largest crypto derivatives exchange in 2025, capturing a 7.2% share of the global market. This marks a significant leap, as the platform has doubled its market share since the beginning of the year. The exchange reported $92 billion in futures trading volume during April 2025 alone, indicating robust demand from both retail and institutional traders.

The rapid growth is attributed to Bitget’s competitive edge in ETH-based derivatives, where it has surpassed Binance in liquidity across key trading ranges. This performance has positioned Bitget behind only Binance and OKX in terms of global trading volume for derivatives [1].

To support broader adoption, Bitget has collaborated with Bitcoin.com to release “Crypto Derivatives 101 – Market Breakdown: Who’s Winning the Race?” The report provides an accessible overview of core derivative instruments like futures, options, and perpetual swaps, tailored for newcomers. It also compares centralized exchanges (CEX) with decentralized exchanges (DEX), analyzing factors such as liquidity, fees, and custody. Bitget’s user-friendly interface, competitive fees, and fiat on-ramps make it particularly appealing to retail traders, while its strong risk management and regulatory compliance cater to institutional users.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stressed the importance of education in driving crypto adoption: “Crypto derivatives have often been misunderstood or seen as overly complex, especially by new users. With this guide, we want to empower both retail and institutional users to navigate and leverage these powerful tools.” Eli Bordun, Partnership Director at Bitcoin.com, echoed the sentiment, noting that derivatives are becoming essential tools for everyday users and traditional financial players entering the crypto space.

The report also highlights emerging trends set to shape the future of crypto derivatives. These include the integration of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) into derivatives products and the rise of AI-powered trading platforms, which improve portfolio management and risk mitigation. Additionally, regulatory clarity under frameworks like the EU’s MiCA and Singapore’s MAS is fostering a more stable environment for innovation. Bitget is also pioneering the CeDeFi (Centralized-Decentralized Finance) model, combining the benefits of centralized platforms with the openness of decentralized finance.

As the platform continues to expand, Bitget’s emphasis on education and innovation positions it as a key player in the evolving crypto derivatives landscape.
