Bitget said its contracts-for-difference business hit a record $8 billion in daily trading volume, less than three weeks after clearing the $6 billion mark in March.
Bitget Volume Surge
The exchange linked the jump primarily to gold trading, with the XAU/USD pair accounting for about 95% of the incremental volume during the period.
Geographic distribution was uneven. China supplied 42% of the new volume, Europe added 27%, and Southeast Asia contributed 16%. Together those three regions represented 85% of the gain.
Investment demand for gold rose 84% year-on-year to a record level in 2025, and prices passed $5,000 per ounce in early 2026. Bitget said macroeconomic strain and geopolitical tensions kept buyers active.
