Institutional access to Bitget’s unified account may boost trading volumes and improve risk management through centralized asset management.
Platform Enhancements and Strategic Focus
Bitget, a prominent crypto exchange, has launched its unified account for institutional users, following the success of similar features by major peers. This move aims to enhance trading efficiency and streamline operations like spot and margin trading.
CEO Gracy Chen emphasized the strategic priority of institutional onboarding by stating:
“Institutional and the VIP clients is a big sector that we’re developing this year. We’re also doing some new product offering for this group of people… unified trading account and more borrow lending credit line for institutional clients.”
