According to Gate's latest institutional weekly report, from September 21 to 27, the decline in oil prices and the easing of trade risks provided some support for U.S. stocks and crypto assets. However, the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond broke above 5%, and the high interest rate environment continues to put pressure on the valuations of risk assets. In terms of capital, the weekly net inflows for BTC and ETH ETFs were approximately $2.386 billion and $690 million, respectively, while the supply of stablecoins increased by about $1.59 billion, indicating a rebound in institutional capital and on-chain liquidity.The market trading structure remains differentiated. The weekly trading volume on Gate TradFi is about $100 billion, maintaining a high level overall; on-chain funds are further concentrated in structural opportunities such as USDC and SOL LST. In the derivatives sector, BTC rose 4.06% weekly, but the open interest across exchanges decreased by 12.81%, with funding rates turning negative temporarily, and options open interest significantly contracting, indicating signs of deleveraging in the market as prices rebound.Against the backdrop of continuous changes in capital flows and market structure, Gate institutions are continuously improving the multi-asset trading system, covering spot, contracts, stocks, ETFs, options, and other TradFi assets. They are also promoting API trading, cross-platform execution, and settlement collaboration based on infrastructures like OES and CrossEx, providing support for institutions to participate in cross-market trading and diversified asset allocation.

Bitget celebrates its 8th anniversary, and CEO Gracy has released an anniversary open letter. She candidly stated that a year ago, when Bitget proposed the panoramic exchange UEX strategy, there were many doubts from the outside world, but the team chose to respond with product implementation. She mentioned that the starting point of UEX is to solve the fragmentation of assets, accounts, time, and geography, allowing users to trade high-quality global assets in one stop. Now, more and more leading exchanges are beginning to layout traditional financial trading, and Gracy referred to 2025 to 2026 as the "Year of Multi-Asset Trading."In her letter, Gracy wrote that over the past year, Bitget has transitioned from a "follower" to a "leader in product innovation," successively launching products such as stock perpetual contracts, Pre-IPO, cross-asset unified accounts, rToken, and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Data shows that the peak trading volume of non-crypto assets has accounted for 40% of the platform's total trading volume, with daily trading volumes of TradFi contracts and CFDs both exceeding $10 billion, and the cumulative number of rToken transactions surpassing 3 million.Regarding the next phase, institutional business will become the core direction of Bitget. By the second quarter of 2026, the net asset scale of Bitget's institutional clients is expected to grow by 45% compared to the third quarter of 2025, with the number of core active market makers increasing from 90 to 248. In the future, the platform will continue to optimize trading execution, asset security, and institutional service links. Gracy concluded her open letter by stating, "The pursuit of trading excellence is never complete; it is always in progress. The era of multi-asset trading has just begun."
