Bitget launches zero-fee CFD mode as daily volume nears $10B

Bitget announced the launch of a Zero-Fee Mode for contract-for-difference (CFD) trading, offering commission-free accounts while maintaining standard spreads. The option is available globally through Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) platform.

The new setup creates two account modes. ECN Mode remains for traders who want tighter spreads and pay volume-based commissions. Zero-Fee Mode provides a simpler fee profile with no trading commissions and standard spreads for users preferring straightforward costs.

Bitget said the change responds to user feedback requesting clearer cost structures and more choice across different capital sizes and trading strategies. Gracy Chen, Bitget’s CEO, described the launch as a way to give users greater flexibility to access global markets within the company’s integrated trading platform.

The company reported daily CFD trading volume reached $8 billion in May and is approaching $10 billion per day. Bitget also reported that non-crypto instruments accounted for up to 40% of CFD flow on some days this year, with gold and U.S. indices such as the NAS100 among the most traded products.

Bitget reported it serves more than 125 million users and offers access to over two million crypto tokens, more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange products and precious metals. The company said its platform includes an AI agent designed to assist with trade execution and noted partnerships with sports organizations and a collaboration with UNICEF on blockchain education.

The announcement included a standard risk warning that digital asset prices can be highly volatile, past performance does not predict future results, and independent financial advice should be sought. Bitget disclaimed liability for trading losses and said information about the new mode should not be taken as financial advice.
