This feature is now available on the web, and the app version is expected to be opened on August 21.The trading varieties in Pro mode uniformly use the .pro suffix, and the fee structure and rebate rules are consistent with the ECN model, with a fixed handling fee charged per lot based on the variety, and overnight fees charged normally. This mode is only open to qualified professional clients, who can contact their account manager or official customer service to apply for activation.Previously, Bitget CFD launched liquidity solutions for institutional traders, supporting multi-level depth aggregation and 100% STP execution. The launch of the Pro mode further enriches Bitget CFD's support for professional trading scenarios.

The Gate Research Institute recently reported on "The TradFi Battle of Cryptocurrency Exchanges: Gate CFD's Path to Cross-Asset Breakthrough," indicating that since 2026, cryptocurrency trading platforms represented by Gate have been accelerating their breakthrough of digital asset boundaries, with CFD business becoming the primary trading entry point connecting stablecoin funds and global traditional assets. As user demand for trading and hedging in gold, foreign exchange, stocks, indices, and commodities grows, industry competition has shifted from merely competing on leverage and trading varieties to a comprehensive contest of asset coverage, liquidity, execution quality, risk management, and capital efficiency.In this round of TradFi expansion, Gate is forming a clear first-mover advantage. According to publicly available data, Gate accounts for approximately 39.4% of the trading volume among the five platforms that have disclosed TradFi transaction amounts, completing its transition from catching up to leading in just two months, becoming the largest top-tier platform. More notably, Gate's layout is no longer limited to increasing CFD categories but is based on USDT and a unified account entry, connecting CFDs, perpetual contracts, stocks, ETFs, IPO Access, and wealth management, while further accommodating professional and institutional funds through tools such as API, copy trading, OES, and CrossEx. Whether Gate can convert its temporary transaction advantage into long-term liquidity, capital retention, and professional service capabilities in the next phase will be key to whether its TradFi strategy can form a sustainable barrier.

According to Websea news, the platform launched gold XAU and silver XAG CFD contracts on August 11, both supporting a maximum leverage of 500 times.Among them, XAU and XAG correspond to the international trading codes for gold and silver, respectively. Users can participate in precious metal price fluctuations through USDT-denominated CFD contracts without actually holding the underlying assets.Websea stated that in the future, it will continue to expand more CFD trading varieties based on market demand, liquidity, and risk assessment. Relevant contract parameters will be dynamically adjusted according to market risk conditions, subject to the platform's announcements.

Bitget officially launches an institutional-level CFD liquidity solution aimed at quantitative teams, proprietary trading firms, funds, brokers, and high-net-worth professional traders, supporting high-frequency quantitative trading, arbitrage, and automated trading scenarios such as EA. As the demand for execution efficiency, liquidity, and low latency continues to rise among professional trading institutions, this solution aims to provide a more stable and efficient execution environment for large-scale, high-frequency trading.In terms of execution and liquidity, Bitget adopts a 100% STP (Straight Through Processing) model, routing orders directly to external liquidity pools and aggregating multi-tier market depth from global tier-one banks and non-bank market makers to reduce slippage and market impact during the execution of large orders. Meanwhile, trading servers are deployed in core financial data centers such as London LD4 and Tokyo TY3, supporting sub-millisecond order matching through dedicated lines and fiber connections, and providing FIX API to facilitate institutional clients' access to existing trading systems, bridging tools, and liquidity aggregation platforms.In terms of fund management, client assets and platform operating funds are segregated, and asset management transparency is enhanced through independent custody accounts, compliance reviews, and third-party auditing mechanisms. The launch of this institutional-level liquidity solution further improves Bitget's CFD backend trading infrastructure, complementing existing retail products and covering a multi-layer trading demand from ordinary traders to professional institutions.

As expectations for easing tensions in the Middle East rise, the market continues to focus on the progress of peace negotiations. Gold prices show resilience in their upward trend, which has also increased investors' attention to multi-asset CFD products. According to data from the Gate platform, the 24-hour increase for gold CFD (XAUUSD) is 0.13%, with today's highest price at $4304.09. At the same time, gold-related assets are performing actively, with GDX up 7.48% and GLD up 4.12%. Driven by popular targets, the trading activity of Gate CFD has also increased, with weekly trading volume surpassing $200 billion, ranking first across the network.

Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in a live broadcast that this week's market focus has shifted from tech stock earnings reports back to U.S. employment data and Fed policy expectations.The key to this non-farm report is not just the number of new jobs added, but whether the unemployment rate, average hourly wage, and previous values' revisions collectively indicate a "orderly cooling" or "significant slowdown" in the labor market.Lewis Huang stated that if non-farm employment and wage data are both stronger than expected, the market will lower short-term rate cut bets, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar are expected to strengthen, while gold and high-valuation tech stocks will face pressure; conversely, if employment, wages, and previous values' revisions all weaken, the market will raise expectations for Fed easing, and gold and non-U.S. currencies may receive support.He advised CFD traders to avoid chasing orders in the first minute after data is released, and to focus on observing whether the U.S. two-year Treasury yield, the dollar index, and gold form a synchronized confirmation, and to wait for a pullback opportunity after a key price level breakout. The current trading focus is not simply betting on the data's highs and lows, but rather judging how the non-farm report will change the market's pricing of the Fed's policy path.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang analyzes the latest Fed interest rate decision and market trends. He pointed out that although the Fed kept interest rates unchanged, the 3 dissenting votes supporting a rate hike indicate a strengthening of internal hawkish forces. Coupled with sticky inflation and geopolitical risks, market expectations for a 25 basis point rate hike in September have risen to 72%, pushing U.S. Treasury yields higher and further suppressing U.S. stock valuations.Combining technical analysis and practical operations, Lewis Huang stated that as rate hike expectations ferment, technology stocks and overall market valuations face significant pressure, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices showing clear bearish signals; on the other hand, the U.S. dollar index is likely to remain strong under hawkish support, while oil shows resilience supported by geopolitical situations.He suggests that CFD traders should align with the macro theme of "tightening expectations" at this stage, closely monitor the upcoming Jackson Hole annual meeting guidance, and flexibly seize both long and short trading opportunities, such as shorting indices at high levels and going long on the dollar in forex.

According to the official announcement, Bitget CFD has added a "Private Domain Copy Trading" mode. This feature uses an invitation-based copy trading method, where only users who have obtained the private domain password or invitation link shared by trading experts can follow the corresponding trading projects.The private domain copy trading feature helps trading experts limit the range of copy trading users and track the conversion effects of various channels through different invitation links. This mode does not affect public domain copy trading projects; the same trading expert can simultaneously run one public domain and one private domain project, with relevant data independently counted. A single private domain project supports a maximum of 100 copy trading users by default and can create up to 10 invitation links. Users can update to version 2.90.0 to experience the related features; for more details, please refer to the Bitget official platform.

According to the official announcement, to meet users' needs for specialized market analysis, the Bitget CFD trading page has now integrated TradingView chart functionality.

According to official news, Gate announced the launch of the interest-earning feature for stock and CFD account assets, allowing users to earn automatic returns on eligible idle USDT and USDx in their accounts while participating in stock trading, IPOs, and CFD trading. This feature uses a tiered interest mechanism, matching interest levels based on the USDT balance in the stock account and the USDx balance in the CFD account. A single account balance exceeding 1,000 USDT or USDx can participate in interest calculation, with a reference annualized return rate of up to 3.00%.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Cooling Interest Rate Hike Expectations: Technical Analysis Takes Over Trends" that the current global financial market is at a critical juncture of alternating macro narratives and market trends. He emphasized that with the recent overall economic data being released, market concerns about the Federal Reserve maintaining an aggressive interest rate hike path have significantly cooled. Against the backdrop of weakening macro fundamental pressures, capital is seeking new directions, and market logic will gradually shift from "news-driven" to "technical-driven."Regarding the current market landscape, Lewis Huang stated that when macro expectations become consistent or stable, "technical analysis will reflect all market information." In the practical analysis segment of the live broadcast, he deeply dissected the latest chart structures of gold, U.S. stocks, and popular stock indices. He pointed out that due to the retreat of interest rate hike risks, non-yielding assets (such as gold) and risk assets (such as stock indices) are showing clearer technical boundaries. He suggested that CFD traders should temporarily reduce their reliance on macro data speculation at this stage and shift their trading focus to price action itself, leveraging key support and resistance levels and trend indicators to flexibly capture trading opportunities in swings and trends under changing market sentiments.

According to the official announcement, Bitget has made multiple optimizations to its CFD copy trading feature. This upgrade focuses on two main scenarios: "Expert Discovery" and "Position Management," aiming to help users efficiently filter high-quality trading experts and manage copy trading positions more clearly. Users can upgrade the Bitget App to version 2.87.0 to experience the related features.In terms of Expert Discovery, the copy trading tab on the market K-line page has added a "Popular Trading Experts" module. Users can view the popular trading experts with the best performance over the past 30 days for the current asset. The expert card will display information such as nickname, 30-day return rate, and the number of copy traders. Users can directly enter the expert's homepage to view strategy details or initiate copy trading with one click, reducing the cost of switching between the market page and the copy trading center.Regarding Position Management, the CFD trading area has added a "Copy Trading Position" module, allowing users to directly view the copy trading positions under the current asset in the position column. If following multiple trading experts simultaneously, the positions of each expert will be displayed independently in separate lines and can be sorted by position value, unrealized profit and loss, and other dimensions, helping users manage their copy trading accounts and risk exposure more precisely.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Logic of Gold Trend Analysis" that this week's market focus will be on the U.S. May PCE Price Index and the final value of Q1 GDP.Previously, CPI and PPI data reached new highs, non-farm employment showed robust performance, and signals of inflation rebound combined with the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance have led the market to gradually digest rate hike expectations. He emphasized that Waller has clearly stated that controlling inflation is the top priority, and the interest rate dot plot shows that rate hikes in 2026 are becoming an internal consensus, and the market needs to prepare for a higher and longer-lasting interest rate environment.Regarding the gold trend, Lewis Huang stated that due to the impact of geopolitical conflicts driving up energy prices, the overall year-on-year increase in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index may rise to 3.4% or even higher. If the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rises unexpectedly, the U.S. Dollar Index will gain strong momentum, while non-interest-bearing assets like gold will face weakening risks. He suggests that CFD traders closely monitor inflation expectation differentials and flexibly capture opportunities for U.S. dollar bullishness or guard against gold downturns.

According to the official announcement, the Gate TradFi contract metal section has launched 4 CFD trading pairs: XAL (Aluminum), XCU (Copper), XNI (Nickel), and XPB (Lead), supporting a fixed leverage of 20 times.

Bitget's "Fastest Gold Buying Challenge" has officially concluded. During the event, users voluntarily recorded and uploaded the entire process from opening the app to completing the XAUUSD gold CFD transaction, with the fastest record set by users at 4 seconds.From the platform data, it can be seen that the market demand for gold is expanding simultaneously. As the situation between the U.S. and Iran fluctuates between tension and easing, risk-averse sentiment continues to support gold prices. Bitget's daily CFD trading volume has surpassed $10 billion, with XAUUSD accounting for over 80% of that. The structural concentration of trading volume reflects users' preferences during times of increasing macro uncertainty.

Bitget announced an upgrade to its CFD copy trading feature, adding two new position following modes and independent risk control settings, upgrading copy trading from "simple strategy copying" to "personalized risk management." Users can establish a foundational defense that aligns with their own risk preferences while referencing professional strategies.In terms of position management, two new modes have been added: "fixed ratio copy trading" and "fixed lot copy trading." In the fixed ratio mode, the system intelligently calculates positions based on the user's capital ratio with the lead trader, achieving synchronized risk ratios; in the fixed lot mode, users can set a fixed opening amount for each trade (e.g., 0.01 lots).Regarding risk control, this upgrade introduces independent take profit and stop loss settings. Users can set take profit and stop loss amounts separately for their accounts while following any trader. Even if the lead trader is still holding the position, the system automatically executes the stop loss. Additionally, a "maximum copy trading lot limit per trade" has been added to prevent excessively large positions from being opened due to high account net worth.
