Bitget’s Institutional Liquidity Skyrockets, Nansen Report Reveals

Key Points

• Bitget is highlighted in a new report for its role in accelerating institutional crypto adoption.
• The platform’s trading volume of $23.1 billion places it second among global exchanges.

Bitget has been spotlighted in a recent liquidity analysis report, in collaboration with Nansen. The report commends Bitget’s role in promoting institutional adoption of cryptocurrency.

The report notes Bitget’s impressive trading volume of $23.1 billion, which puts it in second place among global exchanges. It also mentions the rapid growth of its institutional clientele, which has helped establish the platform as a significant liquidity hub in the evolving digital asset market of 2025.

Increase in Institutional Clients

The study reveals a significant increase in institutional participation on Bitget this year. The institutional spot trading volume has risen from 39.4% in January to 72.6% in July.

Similar upward trends were observed in futures activity, with market makers increasing from 3% of volume at the start of the year to over 56.6% by mid-year.

This increase coincided with record order-book depth and consistent spreads across major trading pairs, such as BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and SOL/USDT. These metrics are now comparable to those of the largest global exchanges.

Expansion of Institutional Loan and Custody Infrastructure

The platform’s institutional loan and custody infrastructure have also seen significant growth. Bitget now offers tailored lending programs offering up to $10 million USDT with flexible terms, cross-collateral support for over 300 assets, and integrations with major custodians, including Fireblocks, Copper, and OSL.

Consistent Liquidity Depth and High Trading Volume

Bitget’s liquidity depth remains one of the most consistent in the industry. The report highlighted Bitget’s Amihud illiquidity ratio of 0.0014, which aligns closely with other top platforms, and its Roll spread estimate of 9.02 basis points, placing it near the global median.

Even during periods of high volatility, the platform demonstrates consistent order-book depth, low slippage, and tight execution. In terms of volume, Bitget holds the second position with $23.1 billion, surpassing other major platforms.

The Nansen Report emphasizes the importance of liquidity, as it determines the predictability of buying and selling an asset at a predictable cost, essentially defining the quality of the market.

Institutional adoption is not just a trend, but the structure of the market. Bitget’s ongoing rise in this market shows its ability to uphold institutional norms while redefining what an exchange in the Universal Exchange (UEX) era can be.
