On its seventh anniversary on September 16, Bitget announced the launch of the Universal Exchange (UEX). The company’s CEO Gracie Chen spoke about the new platform.
In a letter addressed to the exchange’s 120 million users, Chen said UEX aims to «bring together traditional finance and blockchain trading by offering access not only to cryptocurrencies but also tokenized U.S. stocks, ETF, currency pairs and gold.
According to Bitget, the universal exchange aims to combine the advantages of a centralized and decentralized model. It will allow investors to trade millions of tokens on the network directly from their exchange accounts without having to switch between platforms and provides services 24/7. Chen noted that the platform “aims to provide a complete trading experience where traditional and blockchain-based assets coexist.”
One of the distinctive features of UEX will be the use of artificial intelligence. Bitget’s AI assistant, GetAgent, can analyze trade history, assess risk profiles, and execute trades on behalf of users.
In September, Bitget became the first exchange to allow direct purchase of more than 100 tokenized shares of US companies.
