Bitget and blockchain security firm BlockSec released a joint security framework on Feb. 9 that attempts to address vulnerabilities in exchanges handling cryptocurrency, tokenized assets and traditional financial markets simultaneously.
What Happened: Security framework released
The companies published The UEX Security Standard: From Proof to Protection, outlining five security benchmarks for what they call Universal Exchanges. The framework targets risks that arise when unified margin systems, shared settlement infrastructure and cross-market access operate within single account environments.

The standard covers verifiable solvency, multi-asset risk isolation, data security and privacy protection, AI-driven dynamic monitoring, and infrastructure defense. Bitget reports serving over 125 million users with access to over 2 million crypto tokens, more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX and precious metals.
Why It Matters: Multi-asset complexity
Gracy Chen, Bitget's CEO, said security requirements change when platforms handle multiple asset types. "Security can no longer focus on individual assets or reactive disclosure," Chen said. "It must operate at the system level, where risks are identified early, isolated by design, and verified under real-world conditions."
Yajin Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of BlockSec, said combining crypto-native assets with stocks, ETFs and off-chain instruments expands the security boundary.
