Bitget stated that daily TradFi trading volume on its platform reached $4 billion, a new record for the exchange, which it achieved on January 21. Crypto-native traders have poured more funds into conventional financial assets amid increased volatility in global markets.
Demand for TradFi on Bitget Increases
The exchange’s announcement revealed that TradFi trading on Bitget reached over $2 billion in daily volume on January 8. Now, it has doubled in less than two weeks. The speedy rise is an emphasis on increasing demand on the platform for commodities, foreign exchange, indices, and precious metals.
This comes as traders move away from digital assets amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Interestingly, this achievement comes just as the exchange prepares to hold its tokenized stock futures trading championship for crypto-native entrants.
The most actively traded asset on the platform has been gold, with the XAUUSD pair accounting for a substantial share of total volume. Gold continues to record massive demand as traders see it as a hedge against currency debasement.
Other commodities, like silver, have also recorded increasing trading activity. The trend signals greater diversification among traders. They are expanding their exposure to other asset classes as risk sentiment changes.
In a separate report, the top crypto exchange revealed that its tokenized stock platform had reached a cumulative trading volume of $18 billion, indicating that more users continued to trade tokenized equities. The Bitget TradFi statistics indicate demand for traditional market exposure in a crypto-native setting.
Gold and Silver Hit Record Highs
Gold and silver on Bitget have been trading at record levels, as evidenced by international metals markets. Spot gold recently surged past its record daily high of $5,100 per ounce. TradingView data shows that it is up 6.65% in the last five days.
This illustrates a renewed interest in these safe-haven assets among traders following recent geopolitical crises, such as the Greenland dispute between the U.S. and the EU. Goldman Sachs increased its end-of-2026 price forecast for gold to $5,400 per ounce, citing continuous central bank and non-bank purchases.
Silver also rose to an all-time high of over $109 per ounce, driven by tight physical supply and sustained investor demand. According to TradingView, XAG is up 7.2% in the last day.
Analysts interviewed by the London Bullion Market Association expect further price gains for both metals. They based their arguments on the diversification of central banks’ holdings from U.S. dollars and U.S. Treasuries to these reserve assets.
Other reasons they cited include a drop in inflation-adjusted yields and continued geopolitical tensions. The survey projected silver above $100, but there were mixed gold price projections.
A recent Lookonchain data showed that a whale bought nearly $4 million worth of tokenized gold. This further suggests that large investors are shifting from crypto to more traditional assets as liquidity remains thin in the crypto market.
